After birth, the placenta and umbilical cord (often referred to as the "umbilicus") are expelled from the mother’s body during the third stage of labor. This process occurs naturally as the uterus contracts, helping to detach the placenta from the uterine wall. The umbilical cord, which connects the baby to the placenta, is usually clamped and cut shortly after the baby is born, separating the baby from the placenta. The placenta and remaining cord are then delivered, typically within a few minutes after the baby is born.

The placenta is called the babys life support system because it provides everything the fetus needs to stay alive until birth. Without the placenta, the baby would die.
