Newborn positions during delayed cord clamping
This trial looks at whether different positions for the baby while waiting to clamp the umbilical cord can improve the baby's comfort and health measures. It is for full-term, healthy babies born vaginally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at full term (at least 37 weeks of pregnancy).
- You are carrying only one baby (not twins or more).
- You gave birth vaginally (not by C-section).
- Your baby was born alive and is breathing on their own.
- Your baby's Apgar score at 1 minute was 7 or higher (a standard health check right after birth).
- You can talk with the research team and have agreed to join the study.
- No thick green or bad-smelling fluid around the baby at birth.
- No major tear during birth (3rd or 4th degree) and no use of vacuum or other medical help to deliver.
- No known birth defects or genetic conditions in the baby.
- No known long-term health problems in the mother or baby (like diabetes, high blood pressure, epilepsy, or thyroid disease).

This study compares waiting a bit before clamping the umbilical cord versus clamping it right away for babies born between 32 and 37 weeks of pregnancy. It helps determine which approach may be better for preterm infants.
This study looks at two different ways of waiting before clamping the umbilical cord after birth. Some babies get a 30-second wait, and others get a wait based on the pulses in the cord. The goal is to see which method might be better for mothers and newborns.
This study tests whether placing premature babies on their side while they receive breathing support helps them breathe better and stay more stable. It may help parents understand a simple positioning technique that could improve their baby's comfort and health.
This study tests a new care routine for clamping the umbilical cord right after birth, developed with expert input, to see if it improves health for mothers and their newborns. Participation involves following this routine during your delivery and having your and your baby's outcomes tracked.
This trial studies whether waiting longer before clamping the umbilical cord and starting early skin-to-skin contact can be done safely for babies born between 30 and 35 weeks by vaginal birth. It may help support breathing, circulation, and overall early newborn care.
This study compares a gentle way of clamping the umbilical cord after birth in babies with a diaphragmatic hernia. The goal is to see if this approach improves the baby's oxygen levels and reduces the need for breathing support.
