Birth Imminent – Cutting the cord wording
| Description: | A consistency change has been made regarding cutting the cord. Unless there are concerns about mother or baby, the cord should remain intact until it has gone white (or for at least 60 seconds). It can then be clamped and cut approximately 5 cm from the umbilicus. |
