More evidence for draining the umbilical cord after cutting it following the birth of a baby.
It's so simple to do, and it shortens the expulsion time and lowers cases of hemorrhage and placental retention.
Many "standard" obstetric practices don't result in better outcomes and have no logical basis.

Placental cord drainage may be the key to managing the third stage of labor, according to research in BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth.

More reasons to quit using to***co.
In this Israeli study, ni****ne was found in the hair shaft of children who were exposed to 2nd hand smoke at home.
It has also been found in CERVICAL MUCOUS and CERVICAL TISSUE, as another study states:
"To***co smoke cooperates with High-risk Human Papillomavirus (HR-HPV) for increased DNA damage in epithelial cells.
(1) To***co smoke causes E6/E7 overexpression and DNA damage in cells harboring HPV
(2) To***co smoke increases stubborn E6/E7 expression
(3) Both to***co smoke and E6/E7 oncoproteins cooperate for increasing genomic instability in infected cells [101,138].

Smoking parents more likely to change their habits if they see results of ni****ne tests on their children’s hair.

Yes. I do recommend the vaccine. In my Integrative Medicine practice, I prescribe pharmaceuticals rarely - only after carefully weighing the benefits versus its risks - and prefer natural remedies like nutrition, herbs and supplements.

The benefits of the vaccine do outweigh the risks with the new ultra contagious DELTA variant and the increased likelihood of pregnant women getting severely ill from COVID-19 compared to non-pregnant people.
Changes that occur in the body during pregnancy can increase the risk for severe illness from respiratory viral infections like COVID-19, as well as other diseases like blood clots and diabetes.

"The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM), the two leading organizations representing specialists in obstetric care, recommend that all pregnant individuals be vaccinated against COVID-19. The organizations’ recommendations in support of vaccination during pregnancy reflect evidence demonstrating the safe use of the COVID-19 vaccines during pregnancy from tens of thousands of reporting individuals over the last several months, as well as the current low vaccination rates and concerning increase in cases.

Data have shown that COVID-19 infection puts pregnant people at increased risk of severe complications and even death; yet only about 22% of pregnant individuals have received one or more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

The urgency to get vaccinated against COVID in the wake of the fast-spreading delta variant is especially pronounced for pregnant women, who are more vulnerable to severe illness.
