How to Advocate for "Wait for the White" During Your Birth

As a midwife, I’m passionate about helping families make informed choices. In this quick video, I share why I encourage parents to use the phrase “wait for the white” when discussing cord clamping with their birth team.

Instead of saying “delayed cord clamping,” advocating to “wait for the white” shifts the focus to allowing your baby to receive the full benefit of their cord blood before it’s cut. It’s a simple, clear way to communicate your preference and ensures that your care team knows you want to give your baby every possible advantage.

Remember, it’s your birth, your baby, and your choice. I always recommend doing your own research so you feel confident in advocating for what’s best for you and your baby.
