Care providers are responsible for providing adequate information to women in order to facilitate and support their decision-making. Full study: https://bmcpregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12884-019-2288-5If you have listened to my audiobook and enjoyed it, I'd love for you to leave a review where you bought it and/or on Goodreads. It helps others find the book. Thank you xBirthing the placenta is a joint effort between mother and baby. Disrupting physiology by distracting mother/baby or removing baby from mother = active management of the placenta may be a better option.Couldn't let that moment slip by without a capture :DThank you for all your lovely comments about my big life/work change. I feel supported and reassured that I am part of a much bigger 'collective culture' of people committed to reclaiming childbirth.

We carried out this study because there was no research asking women about their experiences of birthing the placenta. I particularly love the descriptions of the sensations! The article is open access ie. free to download.
