The expulsion of the placenta, also known as the third stage of labor, occurs after the baby is delivered. This process involves the detachment of the placenta from the uterine wall and its subsequent delivery through the birth canal. It typically happens within 5 to 30 minutes after childbirth and is important for preventing excessive bleeding and ensuring the uterus contracts properly. Healthcare providers monitor this stage closely to ensure the placenta is fully expelled and to address any complications that may arise.
