Placenta Delivery?

I didn't have the jab... it took just under an hour for me to deliver the placenta (but just three minutes to push the baby out!!!). I just went with what the midwife did, and to be honest it didn't bother me. Once Alex was born I had cuddles and skin to skin with him etc and he fed and then it was just a couple of coughs and pushes to deliver the placenta when the midwife asked me to. In my view, it didn't hinder the bonding process at all.

I chose not to have the injection.
I wanted a natural drug free labour & that is what I had.
When my daughter was born I put her straight onto the boob & then got straight out of the pool (waterbirth) & TMI!!! as I stood up my placenta just fell out LOL.

So even without the injection it only took about 2-5mins to come. No complaints from me coz that was the easy part LOL!

I also had no stitches.
Personally though I think you just have to keep an open mind. Plan to not have the injection but be ok about having it if you need to.?.?

With Ollie I had decided not to have the jab, however would listen to my mw if she recommended it at the time.

As it was the placenta was stuck fast at the top of my uterus and I was bleeding too much. Even after the jab it didn't come out and my mw tugged on the cord which detached from the placenta. I ended up with a spinal and having a doctor get her arm up there to get it out. Technically I had a PPH (1 litre) but didn't require a blood transfusion or anything.

With Lilia my mw advised me to have the jab given my previous experience. This time it came away after a few minutes with out any help.

Next time (if there is a next time) I'd like to try without the jab.
