It didn't hurt because I still had the epidural but it felt weird, almost like another baby came out LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered/page/2#post-2281779 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:24:50 +0000 Reese 2281779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered/page/2#post-2281765 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:18:22 +0000 nana87 2281765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was holding lo skin to skin and worrying about how she wasn't trying to nurse yet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered/page/2#post-2281720 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 13:38:12 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2281720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered/page/2#post-2281618 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:37:26 +0000 MRSJX3 2281618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really remember delivering it but I do remember asking to see it and them showing it to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered/page/2#post-2281610 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:28:49 +0000 travellingbee 2281610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>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. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281603 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:26:11 +0000 KT326 2281603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of? I had a forceps delivery after pushing for three hours. Right before LO came out I think I had two nurses pushing on my stomach. I think after he was out I gave a small push but was so exhausted they had to keep pushing on my stomach. It was such a whirlwind of activity and me vomiting that I can't remember everything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281507 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 11:04:58 +0000 pui 2281507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pushed it out minutes after Lorelei was born. It was definitely easier than pushing out the baby. I didn't really get a good look at it, but I saw the doctor put it into a bowl. I didn't really care to see it anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281447 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 10:26:30 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2281447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a C section, I didn't see anything but I remember the doctor saying "Big placenta for a big baby." So I guess it was a big one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281438 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 10:23:38 +0000 Smurfette 2281438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I didn't push it out either. It was hours later that I realized that I didn't feel it come out or push it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281401 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 10:01:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2281401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I def remember, I had to keep pushing and they kept pushing on my stomach! I think I felt something come out.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281215 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:29:34 +0000 Alivoo01 2281215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The OB told me when she was delivering my placenta, but I never saw it. She just said it was tiny, tiny. I also didn't feel it coming out. Probably because I was occupied keeping my eyes on DS while he was getting cleaned up and what not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281207 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:20:20 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2281207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DD1 it was uncomfortable because of all the pushing they were doing on my belly but no big deal (epidural). With DD2 I had a med free birth and I remember not feeling good/comfortable until it came out. Literally the second my placenta was removed I felt like a million bucks. It was crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281172 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:53:51 +0000 catomd00 2281172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Definitely going to ask to see it next time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281171 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:53:31 +0000 chopsuey 2281171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes both times!<br /> With dd it felt like I had pooped, but it was my placenta :P<br /> With ds I didn't feel anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281169 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:50:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2281169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. A while after DS was born j said oh do I have to push the placenta out?! And the OB said "it's out!" I'm assuming it just fell out since I tore so bad, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281165 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:49:15 +0000 MrsSRS 2281165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS I don't remember clearly, but with DD it felt a lot like another baby, just minus the hard parts like skull and shoulders. I remember it felt so.good. to finally have everything OUT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281152 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:42:55 +0000 BelugaBean 2281152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but it came out in pieces with some pieces having to be forced out. It took forever for them to get it out and they had to push on my uterus for quite a while. So I'm sure I mainly remember it because the delivery of my placenta didn't go well at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281127 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:21:11 +0000 littlebug 2281127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have absolutely no idea how/when I delivered my placenta. D wasn't breathing when he was born, so I was too worried about what was happening with him to be paying any attention. Not to mention, I was so exhausted after pushing for 3 hours, I didn't know what the hell was going on. I could barely concentrate on being worried about D.</p> <p>ETA: I'm hoping things go more smoothly and I get to see it this time around. I just think placentas are the coolest thing - one little organ grows a human! I mean, come on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281114 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:08:30 +0000 Charm54 2281114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I was really worried about delivering it (more than actual labor?! I was crazy lol) but after all was said and done I had to ask them "when do I deliver the placenta and do I need stitches?" To which the nurse told me it was already out and I was all stitched up! So happy I didn't feel a thing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281109 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:01:37 +0000 buttermilk 2281109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah! Mine just slithered out with a little push. Felt like a huge bowl of warm jello. So gross! I reeeeally wanted to see it and kept asking DH to take a picture of it before they discarded it but we were both too caught up in the moment and I never ended up seeing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281104 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:59:03 +0000 FaithFertility 2281104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughhh yes, since my mid wife was impressed by its size it was HUGE....LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281103 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:58:22 +0000 Bao 2281103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do with LO1 but not with LO2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281091 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 06:41:43 +0000 twodoghouse 2281091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a c-section for twin B so they removed both placentas then. However, it was stuck! They had fused together (common with twins) and my dr had a rough time getting it out. I felt the pressure from that way more than pulling out my little under 5 lb baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281070 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 05:15:39 +0000 yellowbird 2281070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember it both times. I saw dds but I don't remember seeing ds's </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281060 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 03:14:36 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2281060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both of them, yes. </p> <p>DS- the cord separated from the placenta and it would not come out even with the injection so I went to theatre for a manual removal. Which sucked to get a spinal after a med free labour. </p> <p>DD- I Hemorrhage before I delivered and after delivery so yeah. That sucked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281055 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 02:34:41 +0000 shopaholic 2281055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember being told to push it out. I think baby was already on my chest. I didn't see anything, and now I wonder if DH saw?! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281054 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 02:26:55 +0000 Bubbles 2281054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it was horrible - it still hadnt detached after more than an hour despite still contracting the whole time, so they were pressing on my stomach and pulling at it and it was so painful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281053 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 01:06:02 +0000 Anya 2281053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it felt amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-your-placenta-being-delivered#post-2281044 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 00:49:44 +0000 erinpye 2281044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, I vaguely remember them massaging it out and asking me if I wanted to see it, while I was holding my baby (I declined!). With my second, I was really out of it (pre-e, failed epi with pitocin-induced labor, hemorrhaging, passing clots...scary), so I don't remember that at all, but I do remember my OB having to do go back in and take care of the clots after the placenta had already been delivered. </p>
