What in the order of the Placenta?
So I know about the birth of a baby. Watched video's read many books, but I still am unsure roughly the placenta. How long does it normally take to follow the baby? Will I touch it? What kind of problems can it cause? I mean any info would relief thank you.
Answers: Both my pregnancies it came out within minutes after. The girls the doctor just massage my stomach to help it along. My son they had my push a little almost 5 minutes after he was born and it came out. It's very dying out for the placenta to tear or not come out. After giving birth, passing the placenta is barely conspicuous. If it tears you can hemorrhage, if it doesn't come out same can happen along with infection. With medical technology today they can pick up on signs of it not coming out soon enough and bring care of it before there are any definite issues.
Left to nature, the placenta usually comes out 20 minutes to an hour after the baby is born. But few doctors are willing to dally around that long, so you will probably be given an injection of pitocin that will cause the placenta to separate a few minutes after baby is born.
It doesn't really hurt, and you'll be so wrapped up in the latest baby that you probably will barely even notice. (Many moms say aloud that they didnt' get the pitocin shot -- they probably just weren't aware, esp. if they had an epidural and it's still functioning somewhat.)
The solely 'problem' would occur if the placenta didnt' emerge, or parts of it were left bringing up the rear. This can result in excessive bleeding or, if it's just a small bit left bringing up the rear, no symptoms beyond a failure of the milk to come in. (The doctors and nurses will check the placenta carefully to be sure it's complete.)
