Lotus birth
Lotus birth is the practice of leaving the umbilical cord uncut, so that the baby remains attached to his/her placenta until the cord naturally separates at the umbilicus- exactly as a cut cord does- at 3 to 10 days after birth. This prolonged contact can be seen as a time of transition, allowing the baby to slowly and gently let go of his/her attachment to the mother's body.

Lotus Birth Stories
Lotus Birth by Lavendilly
Lotus Birth is the name given to a process of placenta-care after the completion of a baby’s birth. The umbilical cord is not cut, and the placenta is allowed to remain attached to the baby until it detaches of its own accord.

Nathanael’s birth story
Birth Story - I handed Nathanael to John and birthed the placenta in the pool after a couple of contractions. We wanted to have a Lotus birth after getting the message very clearly about one month before Nathanael’s due date that this is what he wanted.
