After birthing the baby, you will then birth the placenta. This is the 3rd stage of labor and is also referred to as the afterbirth. The afterbirth can take a few minutes up to a half an hour.
During delivery, both the baby and placenta are delivered. The contractions of the uterus continue until the placenta has exited as well. If the placenta was not delivered, the blood vessels would continue to bleed, causing the woman to lose blood. Retained placenta is placenta or membranes left behind in the uterus during the 3rd stage of labor, which is the part of labor when you deliver the placenta and membranes. 3 causes for retained placenta are: • uterine atony - this means that the uterus stops contracting or doesn't contract enough for the placenta to separate from the wall of the uterus
• trapped placenta - the placenta comes away from the uterus successfully but becomes trapped behind a closed cervix
• placenta accreta - an area of the placenta remains attached because it is deeply embedded into the uterus wall The placenta could also have a hard time being delivered if the woman has a full bladder.
The placenta develops from specialized cells of the embryo, which forms after conception ( becoming pregnant). The placenta grows along with the baby and reaches approximately 4cm in thickness and 18 cm in diameter near the time for delivery.( after 37 weeks of pregnancy). It grows because of its rich blood supply, and where this is interrupted, placental growth ( hence also the babys growth) slows giving a small baby and placenta. The placenta actually moves and sometimes can block the outcoming baby- this is now picked up early by scans. Hope it helps. Ravi
Probably just as long as it needs to wait before giving it to the baby.
yes as long as the baby is not on top of the placenta- i.e its weight does not put pressure on the placenta, it is fine; and during the course of gestation the placenta settles to the best position for the abby and mom!
depends on whos doing it
25 to 40 minute
At least 8 years or more.
about six weeks.
So long as you are certified and have your Vet Tech license then you should be able to help deliver foals.
A pregnant woman is very foolish to take cocaine. It will hurt her baby.
The answer lies in where you want to travel to and how. You have to remember that once you are on a plane, there are no doctors available. So if it is a quick trip - you can risk it. You dont want to travel 22 hours on a plane with no doctor!
Only identical (monozygotic) multiples share a placenta (and not all of those). If two or more of the sextuplets are monozygotic, those may share a placenta, with their fraternal siblings having their own. If by some astronomical odds a monozygotic - sextuplet pregnancy was possible I cannot imagine the pregnancy surviving long enough to deliver viable babies with only one placenta supplying all their needs - in addition the risk of cord accidents would be extremely high.
usually no longer than 6 weeks, after that you need to call your doctor. Its generally less for someone who had a cesarean section.
