It's a bit long-winded but this is an interesting video on the importance of iron and oxygen at birth, and around the 9 minute mark he starts talking about the umbilical cords role and optimal time for clamping.
i love ted talks- thanks for sharing! my doctor is just fine with delayed cord clamping. i was nervous to ask, but she told me it's up to me anyway, whatever makes me comfortable. huzzah
