I am having a homebirth and am trying to decide whether or not to have a natural or a managed third stage. I think the decision will come down to how long the third stage looks like taking, although I'm well aware of the benefits of physiological 3rd stage. I'm not sure I wanna hang out with a cord poing out of me for 5 hours iykwim

What I want to know is how long your unmanaged third stage went for, or if you waited and the placenta wasn't forthcoming when did you chose the sinto?

Thanx
