What if the mother prefers to have a physiological third stage of labour?
There is no evidence to suggest that this would affect cord blood collection. At Cells4Life we would suggest that following natural delivery of the placenta and cutting of the cord that the cord blood is collected as soon as possible. This is because the natural clotting process will reduce the amount of blood available for collection.
