Cord blood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Umbilical cord blood is up to 180mL of blood from a newborn baby that is returned to the neonatal circulation if the umbilical cord is not prematurely clamped. In some obstetric and midwifery practices, physiological extended-delayed cord clamping protocol, as well as water birth, allows for the cord blood to pulse into the neonate for 5-20 minutes after delivery. If the umbilical cord is not clamped, a physiological clamping occurs upon interaction with cold air, when the internal gelatinous substance, called Wharton's jelly, swells around the umbilical artery and veins

Oh, umbilical cord. OK, I got it now.

1) Maybe

2) Not a hypocrite - what others do/don't-do is not my concern

3) Ewwww!

so people that don't let others smoke in their car are hypocrites? I don't let anyone smoke in my car because I don't want it damaged, i don't want it smelling like cigarette, I don't want to be a second hand smoker and I don't want my baby to be either.

in regards to the cord blood..

i am still wearing my cord as a necklace..i have to get it shellacked time to time or it starts rotting

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

1. Yes if my company sent me for a short period of time but not permanently (if my husband hadn't been USC

2. Don't smoke, don't mind if others so but not in my car or house

3. I said no but I might change my mind if someone could explain what's the benefit of saving it?

By the way that reminds me...

Anyone seen that UK programme where the TV chef Hugh Fernley Whittingstall cooked and served the placenta as pate for a family who'd just had a baby?

1: After my time here in Korea I have a lot of really really good friends in America. Both fellow teachers and mil. people. I am also really involved in re-enactments. SO I would have happily move to the states for a few year, find a job to pay the bills, and then after a few years move on to a new country.

I have a good pension plan and hospital fund back in South Africa that I pay into no matter where I live in the world. So I am not worried about illness or what I would do when I get to old to do what I am doing now. I even have enough savings that I could go a few years without working. Moving to the US would be to be near friends and to enjoy my hobby.

2: My fiance used to smoke. I would not let him do it anywhere near me and especially not anywhere near the kids. Luckily he decided to stop and has now been smoke free for 2 months. Smoke makes me sneeze ... badly. Me sneezing so bad I can hardly stand upright with my eyes streaming tears usually makes even the most hardened smoker stop smoking near me. But it also shows just how bad second hand smoke is for anyone.

2008-09-22: Mailed I-129f package.

2008-09-25: NOA1

2009-01-13: RFE

2009-02-17: NOA2

1: Absolutely not

2: Absolutely not

3: The baby should get most of the blood, the cord shouldn't be clamped until it stops pulsing. Medical interference in birth and the early daze of the newborn can lead to so many difficulties (as can the limited time off after the birth when the mother and baby are trying to learn about each other and establish breastfeeding)
