Sorry if this has been asked before but I was wondering what all the fuss was about whether to have/not have the injectin to assist the delivery of the placenta. My OB recommended this for our first child so we had it without giving it much further thought (as I presumed my OB had my and my babies best interests in mind).
If the cord is left to pulse before the injection is given then how does having the injection negatively affect the mother or baby? I'm asking this question so I can make an informed choice with my next delivery.
