Hey,
I didn't have the injection - I didn't want it after giving birth naturally and drug free, but I nearly had it (I did ask the midwives for it and they told me I could have it but my birth plan said no) as I was quite distressed that I couldn't really spend time with my baby directly after the birth as I still had to contract in the pool and I just desperately wanted to hold and cuddle my baby. OH was doing skin to skin and he said I was like a little seal peering over the top of the pool with big eyes at him and our LO!
However, I got some mild contractions and the afterbirth was delivered 25 mins after my daughter, not that long to wait really and I'm so pleased I did it naturally.
