Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  cut cord miking  In both arms, the obstetrician shall clamp and cut the umbilical cord within 30 seconds of delivery. In the milked group, the cord shall be cut keeping a length of about 30 cm from the umbilical stump (length measured with the help of a dedicated sponge holding forceps). The baby will be then immediately passed on to the resuscitation team and positioned under the radiant warmer. One resident shall perform the cord milking while another resident will resuscitate the baby according to NRP protocol. With one hand, the cord would be held up, untwisted and then milked from the clamped end towards the baby three times at an average speed of ten cm/ sec. Properly functioning wall-mounted clocks shall be present in the delivery room for accurately noting down the timings. After the procedure, the extra length of the cord will be cut and clamped at a distance of about 3 cm from the umbilical stump.  
Comparator Agent  EARLY CORD CLAMPING  In both arms, the obstetrician shall clamp and cut the umbilical cord within 30 seconds of delivery. In the milked group, the cord shall be cut keeping a length of about 30 cm from the umbilical stump (length measured with the help of a dedicated sponge holding forceps). The baby will be then immediately passed on to the resuscitation team and positioned under the radiant warmer. One resident shall perform the cord milking while another resident will resuscitate the baby according to NRP protocol. With one hand, the cord would be held up, untwisted and then milked from the clamped end towards the baby three times at an average speed of ten cm/ sec.7A properly functioning wall-mounted clocks shall be present in the delivery room for accurately noting down the timings. After the procedure, the extra length of the cord will be cut and clamped at a distance of about 3 cm from the umbilical stump. In the control arm or non-milked group, no cord milking shall be performed and the cord will be simply cut and clamped 3 cm from the stump. The necessary stabilization and subsequent care will be similar to that received in the intervention arm.
