I've had 2 VBs and both times had the injection, first time just because, second time I haemmorrhaged so it was needed.
was taking to my friend who's pg with DC3 and doing antenatal yoga. the teacher keeps bringing up this injection and the fact that in her opinion you shouldn't have it.
we did nct together 1st time around and remember something being said about requesting not to have it then.
question is though, why is it considered a 'bad' thing to have? I'm pro natural birth and all, but once the baby was out I wasn't interested in waiting around for the placenta, I wanted it over and done with.
is there anything negative about having the injection other than the view that all intervention is unecessary unless it's vital?

what are the reasons not to have the placenta expelling injection?
