I wasn’t sure if you were referring to a change in practise for the delayed cord clamping, or pertaining to something for placenta usage.

Pretty sure in Canada they classify one minute as delayed.

Yes, I think 60-90 seconds. We didn’t clamp for five minutes for our four births. My wife was hemorrhaging pretty badly on our fourth.

That’s scary! Emergency situations definitely call for action regardless of the standards practised. Also, congrats on the ‘big’ family 😅

Yes. Thanks Beth! 💜🫂

Ps - my wife is way stronger than me 😁

What a kind comment!
