After my last bi-weekly check up [I'm on weekly ones now], the midwife at the clinic spoke to us in general about my birth plan and I explained to her that I had done it and will bring it in next week.

That said, she still went through the basics with us and when she asked me if I wanted the syntocin, I wasn't sure coz I wasn't really prepared for a Q&A session with her. I asked her what it was all about and she said that it was to help the delivery of the placenta and to minimise the bleeding. I remember in my birth plan that I wanted to deliver the placenta naturally. Would this mean that chances of bleeding would be higher??
