I have emailed ninemonths regarding the third stage management advice on this page. Parts of this website really are a worry. Regards, Lois

I was looking through Aussie websites early this week and came across an "Unexpected Births" article on www.ninemonths.com.au - Australia's online guide to birth, pregnancy and life. The article provides advice for those unexpected births (without medical / midwife assistance available) and suggests that if the placenta does not come away in 1/2 hour in very rapid births or 10 mins in unintended, often premature labour, than one should gentle but steadily pull the placenta out. Now I am definitely not an expert on these matter (just a very passionate consumer) but to suggest that a mother/father/partner/neighbour/etc should attempt to pull out the placenta in an unplanned "unassisted birth" can't be good can it?
