Well I never had it originally because its a needle! They were dreaming if they thought they'd even get it into the same room with me! LOL. My first Synto needle was because of the PPH after Baby #3. Exactly and only when it should be used.

Technically I still don't have the synto injection to help with the delivery of the placenta. I insist on allowing it to come out by itself before they are allowed to turn on the Oxy drip because I don't want the placenta or any part of it to become trapped. This time around I am kind of hoping that they will wait to use it only if there is signs of pph (loss goes over 500ml). I am still going to allow the canula anyway - but that can be their "Just in case". *is difficult patient - and damned proud of it!*
