The mrs, I have read a few of the studies into Australian Hb, and they indicate decreased amounts if hemorrhage at hb's than in hospital. It's less likely to happen at home apparently. Probably because of less interference in the birthing process. The oxytocin flows. But I think it is prudent to keep syntocin in the fridge in case you need it. I got a script, but my me had some from previous births that hadn't been used so I just promised to restock her if I used hers.
