Can I just ask, if I don't breastfeed, will a physiological 3rd stage be more difficult? I am planning to have a waterbirth at home and would prefer not to bf as I have a spinal injury which means that I'm unable to sit/stand etc for long periods of time in the same position. This is something we have planned to share between us. Also, one of my mw's says it's fine to deliver the placenta in the water, whilst the other one says it increases the risk of water embolism (I think this is the phrase she used) Which one should I beleive? I would be happiest to have as little intervention as possible, but would not like to endanger the baby or myself. Thanks in advance...
