How was third stage managed.  Contrary to the medical belief I am a great believer that unnecessary intervention in third stage contributes to post partum haemorrhage.  If your friend had oxytocin followed by her placenta being torn from her then it is highly likely her postnatal time will be difficult and exacerbate her chronic fatigue.  Fear driven labours also result in intermittent attempts to establish labour.  The total history would be very interesting from pre-pregnancy to postnatal.  PPH is perpetuated by the belief that PPH will occur without active management.  A double blind study of third stage involving hospital based care compared to homebirth would be very interesting.   regards,   Robyn -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rowena Woolnough Sent: Monday, October 14, 2002 4:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] Chronic fatigue! Hi All, I know this subject was discussed recently but unfortunatley I deleted all the correspondence as I had so many messages to sort through. Well blow me down if the weekend after I did that I found out that a friend of mine who has had a baby three weeks ago suffers from chronic fatigue.  She describes her labour as 50hrs long and was initally spontaneuos but she believes the chronic fatigue had something to do with the fact that she kept going in and out of labour.  She eventually managed to get an augmentation with ARM and Synto and had a NVB.  She is very angry about they way she was treated and her mother who was with her was very upset about her treatment (her mother was a midwife 30 years ago).  She also had a PPH of about 2000ml.Both her mother and herself believe that the chronic fatigue played a roll in it all.  I have no knowledge about chronic fatigue and labour but promised I would talk to you fantastic peolpe and find out as much for them as I could.  She says she will definately be having a LUSCS if there is another pregnancy.
