Delayed cord clamping is beneficial for both full-term and preterm babies. In fact, in preterm babies, it is even more beneficial as it can reduce blood transfusion needs, said a doctor.
Like any developing life-form, babies also need oxygen early on in the pregnancy. But, they do not really breathe in and out through their nostrils. They receive their oxygen through the umbilical cord.
"Umbilical cord prolapse is a rare complication where the cord descends into the vagina before the baby. This can lead to compression and reduced oxygen supply. Immediate delivery is crucial," said a doctor.
Cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells, which have been proven to be highly effective in the treatment of a wide range of diseases and conditions.
Stem Cell Therapy utilises the natural healing mechanisms of the body. Here's how it works against diseases and help manage the symptoms.
The researchers think the foetal immune system becomes triggered in a case of mistaken identity.
Globally, about 15 million babies are born before 37 weeks gestation annually and one million dies.
