Waiting to cut the umbilical cord...

I haven't heard of this until I joined BG. What are the benefits of waiting to cut it? (versus cutting it right away.)

Great video, explains a lot and is visual  

I have never heard of this either. What do you mean waiting? Like how long?

My boss`s daughter is doing this, and she's also having the placenta capsuled.

I would have liked to waited this last time but i ran into serious compaction's that could have killed me.

I delayed.

I did the capsules too. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I definitely will be doing the same.  

I planned to delay the cord clamping/cutting but I wasn't able to
I planned a lot of things and wasn't able to do them
