I have heard that some people believe that Americans doctors generally clamp the cord too soon but what I read was that they should wait a few extra minutes, not days.

I can imagine the Tupperware lady displaying the newest placenta bowl at a party and showing us the handy opening where the cord can come out.

We waited until the cord stopped pulsating to clamp the cord but I couldn't imagine walking around for days with the placenta still attached. I would be very nervous about accidentally tearing it off or an infection.

When I first started reading I thought that's what they meant- waiting to clamp the cord until it stops pulsating. Then I read 3-10 days Not something I'd like to try.
