Hi hon.. I have never had a PPH, but just had bubba #6...
I asked for no canula, as I hate them and no history of any complications after birth, ever. But they talked me into it.
With each pregnancy and birth, the risk of PPH is greater, and with #6, the risk is apparently pretty high... I said "well then, put one in after the birth, if need be". But the problem then is if you bleed out too fast, and the veins colapse, your in trouble.
So I gave in. Within hrs after birth, and no great blood loss, they took it straight out. All natural, no injection for 3rd stage. I had the canula, so they had no reason to give me the injection for "just in case"
Good luck with your decision hon....
