I noticed from a link on here recently the WHO recommending '
Active management of the third stage should be practiced on all women in labour since it reduces the incidence of PPH due to uterine atony ' :.

I must admit I was very suprised by this, is this followed in general by the trusts?
I never even considered having a managed 3rd stage in my labour and didn't realise it was so unusual to have physiological 3rd stage until afterwards.
