Now that's odd. I had a natural third stage labour with DS however my midwives did massage on me for a couple of days after the birth when they came round for visits. Is that not the usual? DS was born on due date but my placenta was deteriorating (his growth slowed right down from 35 wks). Do you think that is why I had to have massage as there may have been a higher risk of leftover placenta???

Just curious as I'm due with #2 later in the year and I thought I understood everything from my previous birth.
