The placenta provides the baby with nutrients and oxygen from the mother and carries away fetal waste. Following delivery, the uterus naturally contracts to push the placenta out of the uterus. In addition, the delivering practitioner will assist by gently pressing the abdomen to work the placenta free of the uterus.
Delivery of the placenta is typically painless and takes approximately 15 minutes.
Once the placenta is delivered, it is examined to see if the placental tissue is healthy and in one piece. At times, the placenta can break off and cause bleeding in the uterus. The placenta is commonly referred to as the afterbirth. Its successful delivery signals the end of the final stage of childbirth.

In normal pregnancy, the placenta is located at the top of the uterus, above the baby. So the placenta would be delivered after the baby. Placenta Previa is when the placenta forms in the lower part of the uterus, partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix. In this condition, the placenta would be delivered first during a vaginal delivery. Women with Placenta Previa require delivery by cesarean section, because as soon as the umbilical cord reaches oxygen, the baby will automatically use his lungs to breathe. So, if the placenta were to be delivered first, the umbilical cord would reach oxygen and the baby would be in the womb suffocating because the lack of oxygen.
