It taught me that we intervene for no good researched, evidence based reasons, and that no-one knows the exact intervention in 3rd stage (that being active management) that reduces the risk of PPH, such as the timing of cutting and clamping (which seems more beneficial to both mum and babe if left pulsating, in both active and physiological), or the use of an Uterotonic agent, if so which one (research now favours Syntocinon), Ergometrine it seems is quite evil and an anaesthetists nightmare, and really if CCT reduces the risk, as it was used by Aristotle over 2000 years ago apparantly, so who knows, as the years have progressed so too has further intervention, yes PPH rates are lower, but then statistically we no longer live in impoverish situations, and have (for the most) a good diet, hb, lifestyle etc... So whos to say that as a nation overall that women would be now in these times at greater risk of PPH, sorry I could go on and on haha, thanks for your lovely words about my diss though xx
