In this episode we are covering the definition of postpartum hemorrhage, plus some evidence and stats on PPH with and without pitocin. The biggest reason that providers intervene in the third stage is to prevent postpartum hemorrhage, but we know that active management of the third stage isn't physiological and so it shouldn't be the routine! I also share a list of third stage topics that are a must to research for you to feel prepared and informed before walking into the hospital.
