This extra blood, which is intended to perfuse the newly functioning lungs and other vital organs, is discarded along with the placenta when active management is used, with possible sequellae such as breathing difficulties and anaemia, especially in vulnerable babies.

Helps uterine contraction, faster expulsion of the placenta, reduces maternal blood loss and prevents anaemia.
