Thanks very much Trish. I really hope the hospital I am going to is supportive of me choosing this. I've now been put in high-risk category because of my BP and PE history and also because of the retained products, so now I'm only allowed to see OBs and not midwives and I'm worried they won't support my decison to not have the synto this time.

Sounds like you had a very similar experience, even though you had the injection you still had bits left in there.

Since I had the injection both births and both times I had retained products and bits of placenta, I've decided unless I'm bleeding to death that they can't do the injection this time. It will be interesting to see if this time I'm not having it, if the placenta will birth fine, I just hope they let me.
