Delayed cord clamping allows time for blood to pass from the placenta to the baby after birth. The timing is part of the birth plan to discuss with your doctor or midwife.
Your circumstances matter
The cord may need to be clamped earlier if there are concerns about the mother or baby. Collection for encapsulation should not determine the timing of cord clamping or delay necessary care.
Ask your maternity team how they approach cord clamping and what circumstances might change the plan.
