Hi Deborah,
Tina Harris might know more about this topic as she did her PhD in this
area.
I guess she will reply to this mail soon, if she is not on a holiday.
best wishes,
ans

Dear Deborah
This has always been an interesting one for me from my perspective as a
mother. As far as I am aware, there is not much research about this,
especially the shorter end of the time, but I may be wrong. From my
personal view, I feel that we sometimes miss the timing of the physiological
third stage. I have been blessed with five straightforward labours ranging
from 3hs to under an hour. As I had nothing for pain relief, I was always
aware of when the placenta separated and moved down in the pelvis as I felt
it and each time it was within five minutes of the births. Now I suspect my
hormones/body was efficient, which is why the separation was so quick. I
also wonder whether this is also actually the case in many births, but we
are so busy with mum/baby and doing things and mothers can be unaware about
their own bodies, that they don't feel what is happening enough to tell us,
that we may actually miss when the separation takes place. I would be
interested to know what you discover
Best wishes
Jenny

Dear All,
Does anyone know of any research/guidance about acceptable length of
physiological third stage of labour (with no complications)?
