If loss is minimal then syntocionon is not needed as it is to assist with the ligation of the living ligatures, if you give synt then your doing active management irriguarless of when you give it.

Hi all, A woman I will be supporting for her first birth had a checkup y'day where she discussed her birth plan with the midwife. MW was very impressed and supportive overall, yet was concerned about her decision for a natural 3rd stage. She has stated on her birth plan that she would prefer to take the "wait and see approach" and only have it if there was 'excessive' bleeding. The MW was happy to negiotiate this with her and suggested she have it not at birth, but after the placenta has come away. Would she really need it at this stage....if her loss was minimal...? Any insights would be appreciated thanks! Kristin _____ Advertisement: It's simple!
