This is just a quick post. There has been a bit of discussion around management of third stage of labour on the discussion boards. It is current practice in hospitals and birth centres for this to be managed with an oxytocic, early clamping and controlled cord traction and I just thought I would post one of Dr.Sarah Buckley’s articles on the topic:

Sarah is currently running an online workshop series: Gentle Birth: the science and wisdom
