I don't think they asked me to push it out so it must have just come out with a contraction. I remember vaguely him telling me it was out as I was watching them clean up DS to bring to me, so it must have been pretty quickly after I delivered him. He was stitching me up while I held DS. I had an epidural so I didn't feel any sensation of it coming out.

I don't really remember delivering it but I do remember asking to see it and them showing it to me.

Not at all. I remember looking up at some point in my post-birth daze...maybe when they carried DS away to weight him....and said "don't I need to deliver my placenta". The nurse laughed and said I already did that and it wasn't even in the room anymore. I felt so proud/smart that I remembered, and then so dumb for not even knowing I had done it already.

No, I was holding lo skin to skin and worrying about how she wasn't trying to nurse yet

Yes! I wanted to see mine and I did. The midwife showed it to DH and I and told this whole story about why it is called the tree of life. My husband can be squeamish but even he was intrigued.

I remember it with both of them. It didn't hurt because I still had the epidural but it felt weird, almost like another baby came out LOL
