Without getting too medical on you, always happens! (NICU Nurse). If there is too long of a delay between cord clamping the baby's blood can start to drain back through the cord and thus the baby becomes anaemic and compromised due to low blood volume, doesn't happen everyday but it can happen. The aim of the syntocin is to evenly and quickly allow the placenta to pull away from the uterine wall and out. Yes, it can be quite painful but it ensures all products are removed and quicker than waiting for your body as to reduce infection. PPH can occur which ever way you go as this is a complication of birth, not necessarily, with the birth of the placenta. What occurs greatly depends on your own body, location of the placenta, birth of the baby, and ofcourse scar tissue from previous
C/S.
I hope that helps, I'm not really swinging either way as I have been to alot of births of both, managed and physiological complications. The medical staff SHOULD be supportive in both options and yes, you have every right to decide on what choice you would like to make, however, if your health could become a concern they will do the best for you and your baby.
GOOD LUCK
