Gentle tug on umbilical cord could save mothers from dangerous bleeding

NCT ID NCT01044082

Summary

This study tested whether a gentle, controlled pull on the umbilical cord after a baby is born helps deliver the placenta faster and reduces dangerous heavy bleeding. It involved over 4,300 women giving birth vaginally, comparing this method to waiting for natural signs the placenta is ready. The goal was to see if this simple technique could prevent a common and serious childbirth complication.
