	Cord Clamping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Modern obstetrics ignores the normal functions of the cord and placenta from the moment that the child is born, and in most hospitals the umbilical cord is clamped and cut at the earliest convenient time after birth.
		Fetal distress (intra-partum asphyxia [13]) from cord compression, such as occurs with a cord prolapsed during labor (a cord squeezed between the head and the cervix,) may be rapidly reversed by relieving the compression - elevating the presenting part (head) or changing the mother’s position.
		If the cord clamp were applied at the height of a uterine contraction that is forcing blood into the child at high pressure, [7] it could well trap too much blood in the child, blood that would have run back into the placenta if the clamp had not been used.
