What are the disadvantages to having the injection for 3rd stage?

ACtually, being jabbed without permission after having my first set me on my "rack off I'm doing fine" attitide with my next two. After birthing an 8 pounder in 4 hours, the nurse laughed at me for being upset about it. I didn't need any darn "help" and I was more horrified someone could just stick me like that.

Anyhoo, I didn't have it for the next two (they tried pulling the cord to "help" me again, till I told them off), for the third I was sitting up in bed on a tray thingy chatting away to family and it came out by itself in about 20 mins.

No need as far as I'm concerned.

Smickers..I'm not saying that whether this is right OR wrong (as in not having the injection may mean a higher risk jaundice) My post was meant to say that this is just what some obs may say to mothers at their antenatal apps.

Sorry Lee, I knew that, but my post did make it look a bit like I was responding to you, and I didn't mean it that way. You are absolutely right, and it is important that people know that the information that many Obs understand about cord clamping is unfortunately, outdated.
