CCT stands for controlled cord traction – pulling on the umbilical cord to ‘help’ birth the placenta.

➜ Working with and trusting in our bodies to complete the full birthing process helps us remain in the joy and bliss of the experience without unnecessary disruption and intervention.

➜ Birthing in upright positions, encouraging the release of oxytocin through skin-to-skin with the baby, and breastfeeding are all ways nature intended to help our bodies birth our placentas without interference.
