Emergency Procedure


Was reading up on emergency umbilical handling procedures - if you’re more than two hours from a hospital, tightly tie off the cord 6″ from the navel, then tie another knot 2″ farther out. Cut between the knots with a sterilized knife or scissors. If less than two hours from a hospital, just leave it.

Whether expecting or not, you never know when you might need info like that.
