A bit off topic, but I have read that if you get the injection to make the placenta come out that the babies cord needs to be cut straight away?? Not sure if you were planning on doing that or not. This time I am not getting the cord cut until after the placenta has stopped pulsing(or however it works) and that was a big factor in me deciding about the injection because I want things to be as natural as possible(which is why I am having a homebirth this time). My independant midwife has actually said that she wouldn't give the injection unless something was happening, e.g. bleeding. I wonder why they are so quick to do it in hospital, maybe it is a time factor thing for the doctors and they like to know it is all over with or something.
