Has anyone here looked into it, and decided that they will decline a managed third stage? (So, NOT being given an Oxytocin injection after baby is born to speed up birth of the placenta)
I had a bad experience with Syntometrine after my first DC’s labour - I had a retained placenta and severe haemorrhage.
Most obstetricians seem to prefer women to have the oxytocin injection, but I have read a few articles and academic papers online that question if they are actually causing more retained placentas and haemorrhages?
Grateful for any thoughts on this x
