39.5? *new respect*

I probably already knew that but would've blocked it out as I would've been less than two weeks off giving birth when you pushed your wee monster out

I had the jab and the mw pressed downwards on my belly and it was out in 6 mins - I had no idea what she was up to as I was pre-occupied...
It wasn't until she held it up for me to see that I even knew it had come out...]]> Sun, 20 Jul 2008 16:09:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=444639&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#444639 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : I had on my birth plan that I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443731&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443731 Author: arohanui

I had on my birth plan that I wanted to do it naturally, but that if mw thought it was necessary (medically) for the injection that I trusted her judgement. Because I was pushing for a long time (1 1/2 hours I think?? maybe more?) and I tore badly and was losing a bit of blood, I got the injection. I pushed a wee bit but not really, I was too focused on my boy, and yeah I barely even felt it - was nothing compared to the 39.5cm head!! ]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 22:47:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443731&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443731 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : I had the jab both times and it...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443628&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443628 Author: yummymummy

I had the jab both times and it took me only a few minutes to deliver the placenta - had to push both times but it's nothing compared to having the bub.
I had the jab both times to speed it up as at this point I really just wanted it all over & done so I could concentrate on bubs]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 21:17:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443628&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443628 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : I had an active one due to ventouse...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443560&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443560 Author: emz

I had an active one due to ventouse delivery, low BP and history of haemmorage in my family. It took 4 mins (no contractions felt due to very heavy block from epi) and it just kind of fell out. If I had a normal birth I would have had it active anyway - I'm not emotionally attached to the placenta so I just wanted it out and away.]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 20:28:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443560&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443560 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : I ended up having an injection....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443542&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443542 Author: NikkiB

I had an active 3rd stage.  I have a bleeding disorder so the midwife and OB decided it would be safest for me that way.  Placenta was delivered very quickly after Michaela was born but I'd have to check my birth notes to find out exact times.

 

p.s. delivering the placenta is nothing after pushing out a baby, it just slipped out and I felt it come out but because it's smaller and soft/malleable it's nothing like delivering a baby.

I'd planned on not having the jab for it after Ella's birth unless my midwife felt it necessary, which she did because I'd pushed for so many hours that she could see the placenta wasn't going to be pushed out otherwise - plus, I was in shock by then. I don't remember delivering it being a big deal at the time, so I'd say it worked out well. ]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:45:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443087&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443087 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : I had a retained placenta with...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443081&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443081 Author: EmDee

I had a retained placenta with Ollie and *technically* a PPH (though I felt fine) so ended up having a spinal and having it manually removed.

Because of this I had a slightly increased chance of it happening again so I decided to have the jab with Lilia and the placenta came away fairly quickly afterwards.]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:41:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443081&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443081 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : Tom was delivered by ventouse...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443068&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443068 Author: peanut butter

Tom was delivered by ventouse so that automatically put me into the active line.  I dont think it took long...I think the ob might have pulled it out?  I know that I was getting stitches and Tom was still being checked by the paeds before shifting to NICU so it must be pretty fast.]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:31:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443068&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443068 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : I honestly cant remember much...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443067&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443067 Author: cat007

I honestly cant remember much of that part - I presume I had an active one - where my midwife injected me. Id had an epidural so I didnt feel anything at all. It came away pretty easily and I was just told to start pushing again and it slipped out. I think it was about 15 mins after the baby was delivered.

I presume I will be given the jab again this time being a much larger placenta with the twins. ]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:30:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443067&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443067 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : with Jake I had a bleed - apparently...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443034&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443034 Author: lizzle

Active with all of them. With Maya we were just going with the flow but seeing as I'd been in labour for 3 days I just wanted it over.

With the gremlins I was encouraged to have it due to the size of a twin placenta, plus the risk of haemorrhage.

With Chiara I had it coz I had a haemorrhage after the gremlins, and I ended up having another bleed so am glad I did.

Can't remember how long it took to deliver Maya and the gremlins placentas but in my notes it says Chiara's was delivered at 5.29pm which is 8 mins after she was delivered. The placenta came away easily every time tho.

Mind you, I was at a friends birth and she had the ecbolic jab and they still had to manually remove the placenta about an hour after her baby was born as it got stuck.]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:00:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443032&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443032 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : I decided with my midwife that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443018&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443018 Author: myfullhouse

Natural, don't remember how long, but it can't have been very long at all. No problems with it, so yeah.

I can see why you'd want one if there were problems, but I'd never go for it automatically...

Both active and I didn't even push it out it just slipped out both times.

Both of mine were active as I had been induced for pre eclampsia and it was the safest thing for me to do.

I ended up having an active third stage. It took 45 minutes before they cut the cord and 20 minutes after that the placenta want coming away naturally so had to get the injection. There was also the worry of me loosing too much blood and because of low iron i was strongly recomended againt going naturally.
I dont think I had ever discussed it with the midwife and kinda just went with the flow on the day. I pretty much did just what I was told.

With the first birth I had an active third stage and the placenta was out with in 10 minutes. Didnt really even notice it happening.
This last time the third stage was even longer than the other stages and it was very draining, especially because I was still crouching in the bath strugling to keep the baby out of the water.]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:12:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=443000&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#443000 <![CDATA[Delivery of the placenta : Hi all, I&#039;ve been making...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=442988&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#442988 Author: M.i.s.s.y

Hi all, I've been making up my birth plan, & would like to know what other ladies did, when it came to the third stage of labour.

Did u have an active one with the injection?
or
Natural (physiological management)?

what did u find were pro's & con's etc??
How long did it take 2 deliver?

Thanks ]]> Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:55:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19246&PID=442988&title=delivery-of-the-placenta#442988
