You said: " others just said something like, ' here's a little injection to help the placenta come away'! "
Another classic minifism!!!
I challenge the assumption that just because the policy says that the woman must have oxytocics routinely that the midwife can give it without gaining informed consent. This would be another clear case of coercion, as is usually the case, the hospital's benefit (time saving).
