Oh yes definitely having this, it's just waiting a few mins before cutting the cord to ensure all the blood, stem cells and nutrients gets to baby including iron etc. I think it's quite routine now as it's part of NICE guidelines, unless there's any complications that mean baby needs urgent help straight after birth.

My trust does this as a matter of course now even in c-section which I’m really pleased about.
I didn’t think so but I thought it was an interesting topic my partner didn’t even think it was real because he said it sounded so far fetched
I can’t wait to ask my consultant (12th feb) about it (delayed clamping)I’m almost 11 weeks now, have little moments of panic where I don’t ‘feel’ pregnant anymore (although I am sickly most days etc), I’ve had 2 scans already, hoping I relax into it soon, not sure if it’s just lockdown making me overthink xx
Sorry you are feeling so sick my friends ate these water crackers just to get something down. I kind of want to have sickness because I am worried I am just not normal because I feel fine other than my lack of appetite and then I only want to eat sweets and cereal. Xx
I also feel fine no sickness I am a worrier and I feel the same as you although no sickness or maybe the sickness feeling is just not what I expected could be why I don’t fancy eating anything

how far on are you? I know how you feel - it’s a relief when I feel ok and then I just panic that something is wrong. I hope my dating scan and blood screening will give me some comfort? I want to feel really happy being pregnant instead of worrying all of the time x
Just feel super lucky you don't have any
Symptoms don't have any show on how the pregnancy is going

I've managed to not be sick for two weeks until this morning I projectiled Now my head is literally pulsating and I cant keep tablets down
My friend had twin boys a few years ago and her sickness was so bad she had to be signed off work and she could barely eat
think it was over by 14 weeks for her but returned again in late pregnancy, hopefully it doesn’t last too long for you, the first trimester is really the worst! 
I've only got one in there and have been signed off for over 8 weeksMy friend had twin boys a few years ago and her sickness was so bad she had to be signed off work and she could barely eat
I'm 14 weeks and it's not getting much better, although I'm not being sick as frequently the headaches and nausea have been next level.On a funnier note I have a parrot who is my total sidekick....I was being sick and he was with me and he was sitting on the pan going "woooooow" with the occasional "aw babe" thrown in
least i have some entertainment while dying off 
I thought being pregnant was all butterflies and smiles too
Yes projectile is the word this morning. My husband was a bit shocked I think hahaha. We can get through this.Join the club
Now my head is literally pulsating and I cant keep tablets down
Oh man, I’m really hoping it does pass after this first trimester. Don’t want to be miserable this whole pregnancy. I’m so glad I have this week off but I don’t know how I’ll manage to get back to work next week.My friend had twin boys a few years ago and her sickness was so bad she had to be signed off work and she could barely eat
Yeah I feel the same! Mostly just feel ‘off’ rather than properly nauseous and I haven’t been sick (yet lol). The only thing I cannot bear the thought of eating right now is fish and leafy green veg.
I have a private scan on Sat morning when I’ll be 8+5. Really really hoping to see something!

I think I am 7 and 3 today but this is guesstimate as the scan I had was a bit vague x
Fingers crossed for you, keep us posted how you get on
thank you! Quite nervous about it!Fingers crossed for you, keep us posted how you get on
Just came across this thread yay!
I'm currently 26w pregnant with my second (first was an emergency section), has anyone ever opted for an elective section? I'm leaning towards this more than vbac but wondering if people could share their stories!

Thank you so much for your reply!Please don’t feel like this your uterus doesn’t hang out
I gave birth during lockdown last year and I was really worried but it was no different to my first birth except having to wear a face mask, I was glad people couldn’t come and visit after
yes I have been looking into hypnobirthing and it’s most certainly a route I’m going to go down. Did you do it? Xx- Status
