Interesting - I thought RLT was supposed to tone the uterus and make contractions more efficient, etc. I would have thought it would be beneficial for keeping it clamped down hard after delivery too. I never have taken it - was just thinking about it. Thanks for the info though, ladies - that really helps!
I don't think I'll be having placenta smoothie. I think my DH would die. Honestly. That's the one thing that grosses him right out about birth - the placenta. Weird, but that's how it is. Arnica though, we can probably do. And I have had the syntocin shot after birth too, which I'm OK with.
