Sequoia, maybe a better question is: what is the benefit of a managed third stage if not medically indicated?

Sloane, your experience sounds so very similar to mine. I had no complications - induced at 42 weeks and ended up with forceps delivery as DS went into distress. One thing I feel good about is delaying the synto to give AROM a chance first.
I long to experience a natural labour and actually birth my baby - hopefully next time.
