The investigators propose to evaluate the the safety and effectiveness of I-UCM versus ICC in mothers undergoing preterm delivery before 32 weeks, by randomly assigning them to one of two groups - study and control. The study group will undergo I-UCM during delivery and the control group will have ICC, which is the current standard of care. Both groups will subsequently receive routine care for mother and infant. In the study group the infants will be placed at or ∼20 cm below the level of the placenta and about 20 cm of the intact umbilical cord will be milked towards the umbilicus three times. The technique consists of pinching the cord close to the placenta and milking about 20 cm segment of the cord proximal to the umbilicus, towards the infant over a 2-second duration. The cord will then be released and allowed to refill with blood for a brief 2-second pause between each milking motion. After completion of milking three times, the cord will be clamped close to the umbilicus and the neonate handed over to the neonatal team. The procedure of cord milking will be completed within 20 seconds.
