During pregnancy, the placenta attaches itself to the uterus to provide the developing fetus blood, oxygen, and nourishment as well as removing waste from your baby. The placenta may implant itself at a low position in the uterus, during the early stages of pregnancy. Normally, as the uterus begins to expand to provide more room for your baby, the placenta moves upward but away of the cervix. If it doesn't move away, it may be blocking the opening of the cervix. This is known as placenta previa. If this does occur, the placenta will detach itself from the uterus in advance as the cervix begins to open up for labor. Generally, placenta previa can be detected before any severe harm is caused.

Do triplets have separate placentas?

Triplets can have separate placentas, but it depends on how they are conceived. If they are all fraternal (dizygotic), they typically have three separate placentas. If they are identical (monozygotic), they may share one placenta or have separate placentas depending on when the single fertilized egg splits. In some cases, a combination of both types can occur, leading to varying placenta arrangements.

Not really. The mother cat will usually eat the kitten placentas and will, as a result, get back a small amount of the protein she has expended in creating the kittens. But there is nothing special about the placentas, and depriving the mother cat of them will not hurt her.
