A placenta has one hour to come out after the baby is born.
A physiological 3rd stage does not have any cord traction it is physiological because your body does it alone without anyone helping or drugs. (apart from you maybe giving a little push!!)

Feeb, I also thought that if you have the shot to get the placenta out that you have to cut the cord immediately. But some people on here have said otherwise.
Maybe we can get a midwife or someone to clarify to stop the confusion (well for me anyway).
Actually I just found this in the article that Sarah H referred to.Furthermore, if the cord is not clamped before the oxytocic effect commences, the baby is at risk of having too much blood suddenly pumped from the placenta by the over-zealous contractions.
