Where does the injection go for the placenta delivery?

[hawalkden]

I dont know why but I've got this huge fear that the injection/needle is going to be jabbed into my groin/inside thigh..
I'll have an IV up due to insulin and fluids and I know I'll be to wrapped up in cuddling my new peanut but just the thought of it going in my inside thigh makes me all wwobbly at the knees?!

i got it everytime on the outside of my thigh, i have a major phobia of needles but trst meby that time you couldnt care less what gets stabbed into your leg lol xx

I didn't get an injection after I had my son?

 

[pinklizzy]

I had it in the outside of my thigh, at the top. I didn't really notice it. x

Its top outside thigh but you will hardly notice it, it feels very tiny scratch after what youv'e just been through!

 

[clairelou44]

Both of mine were at the top outside of my thigh, didnt really feel a thing after going through childbirth its nothing

 

[happygal]

[hawalkden]

Thanks guys

Just a mini phobia I had in my mind !

 

[dan-o]

I never even felt mine! DH tells me it was in my thigh, lol

 

[Mrshoffie]

Didn't have one. Don't think its compulsory.

OMG your baby is just beautiful!!

Op, I really never felt the jab at all. Your so busy falling In love with your baby you won't even give it a thought.

You don't have to have one Hun. She asked me if I wanted it. I didn't feel it at all I was too busy cooing over my baby to even bother I didn't even mind being stitched up and I don't like needles etc but I was just so busy admiring my LO

 

[kimberalex]

you don't HAVE to have it unless your being induced....And i DID feel mine but Ima terrified of needles and was very concious of it...she also stood there waving it about while i was pushing so the needle terrified me more than the pushing!lol

But Iam sure if your not being induced you can opt for a natural third stage where you don't need the syntocin x

They don't give injections here. They let it come out naturally.

I don't remember getting one. My placenta came out a few minutes later...maybe they put it in my IV?

 

[emmylou92]

I had It in my leg, fat lot of good it did me, I ended up having to have a manual removal :/

Siegal, Syntometrine is given intramuscular i.e. injection in muscle, usually leg or bum once baby is born. Syntocinon/Pitocin is given IV which is commonly used in the US. Not heard of Syntometrine being used there, I would imagine you had it IV.

Mine was in my bum cheek

I don't remember this part at all xx
