Lightbulb Management of the 3rd stage of labour
Looking over a few of the discussions on here, there has already been some debate relating to the third stage of labour... There has been mention of leaving the cord pulsating and when/if to administer syntometrine. I have to admit a serious lack of knowledge about leaving the cord pulsating, so if anyone has anything to contribute on this topic I would be very interested. Are there any particular articles or guidelines anyone can recommend? I have to say that I'm not overly impressed with the new NICE guidelines in relation to the third stage, anyone else agree?

Let the debate commence!
