[ozmidwifery] not weighing placentas

[Helen and Graham]

Does anyone have research to support the discontinuation of weighing placentas as a routine practice?  I have worked in places that stopped doing it years ago and feel anecdotally that weighing placentas has no clinical benefit.  However, I don't know if it has been discontinued as a result of any particular research study.......My current work place continues to carry out this practice and I would like to be able to give them research based evidence to support my suggestion to change their policy.   Thanks   Helen
