When the umbilical cord is broken late, the umbilical cord is still pulsating after delivery and the blood from the placenta enters the fetus, which is beneficial to the fetus. If the umbilical cord is broken after the fetus is delivered, the blood will be wasted and may cause fetal anemia. Therefore, it is now advocated to wait until the umbilical cord is not pulsating after delivery before breaking the umbilical cord, or wait for one minute before breaking the umbilical cord, which is good for the baby and avoids the phenomenon of ischemia and hypoxia in the newborn. These things are known to midwives and will be done in accordance with the rules, no need to worry.
