After the placenta is expelled from the body, the uterus immediately begins to shrink down to it's pre-pregnancy size. The nurse will feel for the fundus, or top, or the uterus and measure how far it goes down quite often. The uterus should be rather hard as it is contracting to normal size, but it may become soft, or boggy, and the nurse will massage the uterus until it becomes firm. The placenta will be stored in the hospital lab for about 2 weeks unless there are no complications and the parents request to take it home with them, for whatever reason.
