We were watching that sex education program on Ch 4 last night where
they showed a birth. What is the injection they give the mother
immediately after? There was clearly a nurse hovering with a needle -
and I have a vague memory of an injection myself but can't remember
what it was.

The program is quite good - a bit shocking and amusing but well worth
watching!

I can't remember exactly what it is, but it's to speed up the placenta
delivery.

Syntocinon?

No, that's the one to make you have contractions.

Almost certainly a injection of syntometrine to speed up delivery of
the placenta.

Cheers - after much googling I found it what it was for - but not the
name!
Thank you all!
