Si quieres asegurar el pinzamiento óptimo del cordón umbilical, lo mejor es esperar a que la placenta haya sido alumbrada, y por tanto asegurarnos de que ha finalizado la transfusión de sangre de la placenta a su receptor, el bebé.
No hay ninguna prisa en pinzar y cortar, no hay ningún peligro en esperar.
Una vez la placenta ha sido alumbrada, podemos pinzar y cortar el cordón que se encontrará blanco, flácido y sin pulso.
Así lo ha previsto la naturaleza. Es cuestión de fisiología.

What happens if my baby has a cord around their neck!?

A nuchal cord is a common occurrence. 1/3 of babies are born with a cord around their neck. We simply unwrap it, or loosen it for the baby to go thru it, rarely a cord will be quite tight and it can prevent the baby from coming after the head and may require a little more work or in extreme situations, cutting the cord immediately. It’s more common for babies with long cords to have at least one wrap, sometimes multiple wraps around the neck . It is considered to be a safeguard, if the cord is wrapped around the neck, that would prevent it from coming ahead of the baby.
The normal, healthy umbilical cord is filled with Wharton’s jelly, a soft, gelatinous substance which protects the vessels inside the cord to prevent any disruption in the blood supply during pregnancy or labor.

A client told me recently, while in the throes of labor, "Contractions are NOTHING like waves! They're all lying! These aren't waves at all!"
Sometimes labor is writhing, roaring, messy, painful, and at a certain point it gets "too big" or "too much."
Sometimes it isn't gentle or peaceful or pretty. But that's okay; it's part of the journey, part of your incredible transformation.
So let it be big! Let it be as much as it can be! This is not the time to hold back, to contain your primal intuitive self. This is not the time to be small, to shrink in fear of your own power.
Whether you have contractions like waves or not, your birth story will be yours forever, and it will be amazing in its own way.

Breech birth

Sometimes, babies are born like this.
And it doesn’t mean an automatic cesarean. Folks like Dr. Stuart Fischbein, OB/GYN and Harvest Moon Women's Health and Rixa Freeze of Breech Without Borders are making the rounds -WORLDWIDE- to train birth attendants of all kinds to attend vaginal physiological breech birth.

If your babe is breech, it’s time to get informed. The “Hannah trial” isn’t the final word. Learn why at a Breech Without Borders workshop.
