Nelle, I will double check about the synctocin... got me worried now!!! I was told they carry it after I had Kane, cause he came in under 40 mins and I asked at the hossy. But that was 3yrs ago, and coulda changed.

With reguards to blood loss, I normally lose a LOT in the first few days, but the very longest I have bled after a birth is 6 days.. so mine is heavy, but is gone quickly.

With Isaiah, I was losing a large amount of blood, but it didnt concern me, it looked normal, for me. But within about 5 min, it started to pour. I bunched a massive amount of loo paper against my vagina, and within 3 seconds, it was running down my arms... so WAY too much.

I *think* a normal loss is heavy period like?? Mine has always been heavier without concern though...even with Isaiah it settled down very fast after the placenta arrived.
