When your baby is born, the first few minutes are incredibly important. Many mothers today are choosing Delayed Cord Clamping (DCC) as a natural, beneficial practice that allows their baby to receive extra nourishment and support right after birth.
Under the care of Dr. Namrata Jadhav, delayed cord clamping is performed thoughtfully and safely, always keeping the well-being of both mother and baby at the center of every decision.
Delayed cord clamping means waiting for a short period—usually 30 seconds to a few minutes—before cutting the umbilical cord after birth. During this time, blood continues to flow from the placenta to the baby, providing valuable oxygen, iron, and stem cells.
This gentle pause allows babies to transition more smoothly from life inside the womb to the outside world.
Those extra moments can make a meaningful difference for your baby. Benefits may include:
Dr. Namrata carefully evaluates each delivery to ensure delayed cord clamping is both appropriate and safe for your baby.
For most healthy, term and preterm babies, delayed cord clamping is considered safe and beneficial. Dr. Namrata closely monitors the baby’s condition immediately after birth to ensure they are stable and responding well.
If immediate medical attention is needed for either mother or baby, cord clamping is done promptly—safety always comes first.
There are situations where immediate cord clamping may be necessary, such as:

Each birth plan is personalized, and decisions are made in real time based on clinical assessment.
Delayed cord clamping aligns well with a family-centered, gentle approach to childbirth. It allows parents a quiet moment to welcome their baby while nature completes its work—without rushing an important transition.
Dr. Namrata’s calm guidance helps mothers feel reassured, supported, and confident during these precious first moments.
If you would like to include delayed cord clamping as part of your birth plan, a consultation can help you understand whether it is suitable for your pregnancy.
