ACOG Cancels Immediate Cord Clamping Policy #216 November 1995 as of Feb 2002

ACOG no longer sanctions routine immediate cord clamping

From cordclamping.com and George M. Morley

ACOG Educational Bulletin 216 was published in 1995 and recommended immediate umbilical cord clamping to obtain an
arterial pH. Due to the ACOG's continued inability to prove that early cord clamping does not violate the first tenet of the Hippocratic oath, "First, do no harm", they decided to quietly retire this idea.

No fanfare, no "recall notices" sent to practicing OB's (beyond the notice in the February 2002 journal), just ~POOF~ we don't teach that anymore.

But thousands of practicing doctors out there still do it.

So now, in case it isn't clear yet:

Immediate cord clamping is no longer officially sanctioned as an ACOG standard of care (although the Canadian college hasn't caught up yet...).


Any person who clamps the cord before the placenta is delivered must have sound, documented, clinical justification for doing so.

Any person who clamps the cord immediately or prematurely without indication is individually responsible and liable for the resulting injuries.

Dr. Morley's take on what kind of injuries we're talking about here ~ I
haven't the time to determine if autism and ADHD are related to early cord
clamping but Dr. George Morley of cordclamping.com seems to.

NOTE:  Policy #71, December 1998, SOGC knowingly allowed doctors to do early cord clamping (30-second clamping), that causes 20 to 50 percent total blood volume deprivation of the babies this is done too.  That takes 6 weeks to 6 months before the baby's blood count is almost normal.

They did early clamping just to cut down the third stages of labor.

Policy #89 May 2000, SOGC directed routine immediate cord clamping, this was to copy Policy #216 of ACOG's policy now retired.

We need to have these experts before a Judge to give an explanation why they are doing this to another's persons child, who had hoped for a blue ribbon baby, which is impossible after the circulation system of oxygenated blood were untimely stopped.

There are photo links of a placenta rather full, at this website.  Please consider signing the petition, link provided.
