To Summarize1 Give an oxytocic agent with the birth of the head or anterior shoulder. Deliver the trunk of the foetus slowly. 2 Control the corpus uteri with the left hand while the right hand gains information by tension on the umbilical cord. 3 When the placenta is found lying in the cervix and vagina, pull downwards on the cord, keeping control of the corpus uteri with the left hand. 4 Examine the secundines carefully after delivery.
