Practising Midwife Vol.4, No4, April 2001.  If you'd like to send me your mailing address I could post you a copy, and scan some photo's for you as well if you like.  Best wishes with your assignment.   Although there's a bit of hysteria about it (especially the early/late cord clamping issue)  it's a fascinating subject once you get into it.  Cheers, Lois Wattis, RM    ----- Original Message ----- From: joanne fisher To: Ozmidwifery Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 11:22 AM Subject: Physiological 3rd Stage Hi there, I have to do a lit review for Uni on physiological third stage.  I am fairly new at this so was wondering if anyone might point me in the right direction.  Thanks.          Regards  Joanne Fisher
