                            <p>Lotus doğum veya göbek bağının kesilmemesi, göbek bağının doğumdan sonra plasentadan ayrılmadığı, bunun yerine kurumasına ve kendi kendine düşmesine izin verilen uygulamadır. Ülkemiz dahil ABD, Avustralya, Yeni Zelanda ve Hindistan gibi bölgelerinde az da olsa uygulanmaktadır. Literatürde lotus doğum ile ilgili çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Anne ile bebek bağlanmasında artış, annenin daha sağlıklı bir lohusallık süreci geçirmesine, doğumdan sonra kordonu hemen kesilmeyen bebeklerin, kordonu hemen kesilen bebeklere oranla daha sakin ve huzurlu olması gibi yararları varken, hiperbilirubinemi, endokardit, idiyopatik hepatit, stafilokok enfeksiyonu, sepsis ve neonatal omfalit gibi yenidoğanın hayatını tehdit eden riskler de bulunmaktadır. Sağlık çalışanlarına (Hekim, Ebe ve Hemşire) konu ile ilgili hizmet içi eğitim verilmesi sağlanarak, lotus doğumu talep eden gebelere yöntemin olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri hakkında bilgi verilerek bu yöntem hakkında detaylı bir şekilde açıklanmalıdır.</p></trans-abstract>

It is practised in regions such as the USA, Australia, New Zealand and India, including our country, albeit to a lesser extent. Studies on lotus birth are limited in the literature. While it has benefits such as an increase in mother-baby bonding, a healthier puerperium process for the mother, and babies whose cord is not cut immediately after birth are calmer and more peaceful than babies whose cord is cut immediately after birth, there are also risks that threaten the life of the newborn such as hyperbilirubinemia, endocarditis, idiopathic hepatitis, staphylococcal infection, sepsis and neonatal omphalitis. Healthcare workers (physicians, midwives and nurses) should be provided with in-service training on the subject and pregnant women requesting lotus delivery should be informed about the positive and negative aspects of the method and this method should be explained in detail.</p></abstract>
