Risks from a retained placenta include hemorrhage and infection. In birth centers and attended home birth environments, it is not uncommon for care providers to wait for the placenta's birth for up to 2 hours, but in a hospital setting most health care providers opt for a manual extraction if the placenta is not expelled within 30 minutes of delivering the baby.
Breast feeding, massage of the fundus (top of the uterus) and an injection of oxytocin are all helpful in assisting in delivering the placenta (afterbirth).
