Placenta Delivery?

Firstly, post-partum bleeding is rare, so try not to worry about that. I chose to deliver my placenta naturally, it came about 25mins after DD.. Nothing major, a couple of pushes & it was out. I wouldn't be too adamant either way until its D-day. If you are exhausted and your LMC advises you have the injection then it may be the best thing for you. I suggest you talk it through with your LMC so you're on the same page.

I had the jab, it was great and would always do it that way. My placenta was delivered a couple of minutes after I had it. Meant that MW could get to work stitching me up and could be left to bonding.

I had the injection.
It wasn't even anything i thought about until I was actually in labour.
I needed a couple of stitches, so like Kebakat, I opted for the jab so the MW could get things done and dusted so I could get on with the business of things

I had the jab too, and also hadn't thought about it. I think because I had an obstetrician I didn't have a choice so good thing I didn't mind didn't even notice it coming out! I don't have any preference as to what happens next time, will just see what happens at the time!

I've had one with and one without the jab. First time I had a spinal so didn't feel a thing with regards to the placenta being delivered.(ventouse & forceps delivery).

With Daniel's delivery, we spent time doing cuddles etc and getting early pics, and then 20 mins later MW got me to push again, came out really easy - well a lot easier than a baby . I'm a bit of a needlephobic so was going to try and avoid any needles I could. However if I was extremely tired, had no energy and it was taking ages then I would have considered it

I had planned with the MW to have a natural delivery of the placenta, but the pushing part of labour dragged on for so long (including having the cord wrapped a few times around DD's neck), so the MW just told me she was giving me the jab, and the placenta came a couple of minutes later...then the MW spent an hour stitching me up! Just remember that no matter what you decide, you really need to follow the LMC's advice at the time as they're the best judge.

Had the jab with both of mine. I didn't want to risk anything & didn't want to be faffing about with that when I wanted to see my babies.

I had it naturally and it came out with an easy push or two 6 mins after I had my boy. I figured that there was no point introducing drugs into my system unless they were needed.

i wasnt going to have the jab as i had planned a drug free birth and figured why have an drug at the end of labour that wasnt needed. Also i am terrified of needles. But i went into labour at 36wks with my iron levels non existant so it was decided quite early on in my labour that i would be having the jab as i couldnt afford any extra blood loss. I still had a drug free birth and dont even remember the needle going into my thigh. I still had to push the placenta out however it came very quickly. Actually it worked out quite well because they took henry away to be checked over by nicu so pushing the placenta out gave me something to do lol.
I think i will have the jab this time as im the kinda person who likes to go with whats familiar lol but no other reason. Will look into it all again a bit later it think

I had the jab too. I originally wanted to do it naturally, I figured if I gave borth naturally I could do the placenta but then had another thought that once bubs arrived I wanted to concentrate my time with him.

So I had the jab, I didnt do any pushing though my MW just pushed down on my belly about 20 minutes after the jab and out it came. It was a weird feeling but nothing like giving birth
