With DD I had assisted delivery (ventouse) after a fairly long labour, managed third stage, then retained placenta and PPH (1600ml.) I ended up with a spinal block to allow manual removal and my discharge note mentioned 'ragged membranes'??
I am 32 weeks with DC2 and considering my options. My CMW has recommended that I have a managed third stage again, but I'm not clear in my own mind really whether this would be beneficial or not in terms of avoiding another retained placenta/PPH.
I do know that last time my bladder was really really full, and mw has suggested that this may have been part of the reason for retained placenta.
I know there is another similar thread on the go at the mo, but my circumstances are slightly different and didn't want to hijack that thread. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
