HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES FOR THIRD STAGES OF LABOUR
The third stage of labor refers to the period
following the completed delivery of the newborn until the completed delivery of
the placenta. Relatively little thought or teaching seems to be devoted to the
third stage of labor compared with that given to the first and second stages.
The third stage is otherwise known as placental delivery is very important and
should be carefully watched. This extends from the complete expulsion of the
fetus to the complete expulsion of placenta and membranes, and firm contraction
and retraction of the uterus subsequently. The average duration of this stage,
when spontaneously completed may extent from a few minutes to fifteen minutes.
The phenomena of the third stage of labour are-
characteristic uterine contractions, separation of placenta, expulsion of
placenta, control of haemorrhage, permanent contraction and retraction of
uterus .
The objective of management is mainly control postpartum
haemorrhage and complete expulsion of placenta.
