I don't recall there being any drama around it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2127473 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 21:33:36 +0000 photojane 2127473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an amazing epidural, so I didn't feel it at all. I didn't push... the doc just pulled it out. My vag must've been hella stretched out. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2127458 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 21:16:58 +0000 catlady 2127458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I barely remember it. I think it was just easy compared to what came before it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2127453 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 21:13:41 +0000 mamimami 2127453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not good. I don't know if it broke or something, but I remember thinking I was done with my unmedicated labor and being like WHAT IS THIS?!?! I'M NOT DONE?!?! It was painful and there was like pulling and massaging and rummaging around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2127307 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 19:45:42 +0000 youboots 2127307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pushed a placenta out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2127245 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:26:37 +0000 Orchid 2127245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have to push and if the midwife hadn't held it up for me to see, I would have forgotten about it. It was cool to see it, it weirdly made me feel so proud, like ... "Look what my body made!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2127238 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 18:20:17 +0000 sapphire 2127238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 2 seconds of pulling/pain. No big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2127149 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 16:31:43 +0000 Smurfette 2127149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally forgot about the placenta till hours later. So I guess it just came out. I never pushed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like/page/2#post-2126918 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:16:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2126918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hurt like hell and I was too tired to push. The contractions were just as strong, which surprised me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126917 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:15:50 +0000 Anya 2126917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126916 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 13:11:19 +0000 avivoca 2126916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember them massaging my stomach (which HURT), but the actual pushing of the placenta felt weirdly good. Like, it soothed my vag in some way. It was weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126862 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 12:37:42 +0000 cascademom 2126862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember the massaging and pain from it. I think I pushed once and came out. It looked gross from what I could see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126853 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 12:28:08 +0000 sweetooth 2126853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: It was totally like jello! I'd even give it a sound effect of "bloop" - that's what it was like for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126798 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 11:38:31 +0000 Jess1483 2126798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember it at all. I had no idea what was going on down there...too focused on the babe. So it can't have been too bad (though I had an epidural). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126793 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 11:35:11 +0000 Mrs. J 2126793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to get a shot of pitocin in my leg for the bleeding (I was basically hemmoraging). They pushed on my abdomen to get it to come out...it was all super uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126745 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:53:38 +0000 littlejoy 2126745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The placenta was right there ready to come out. I did a tiny push and it came out. No big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126712 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:34:11 +0000 LAZB 2126712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it just kind of fell out? I remember it coming out, but don't remember pushing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126656 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:21:15 +0000 Cherrybee 2126656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It hurt! I felt the most tremendous pressure on what i think was my pubic bone as it squeezed out.... then it plopped out. So weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126633 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:08:45 +0000 Rubies 2126633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For both times there was some pushing on my tummy but I also had to push out my placenta. With D2, I had to push and I felt it come out as if I had delivered another baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126626 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:04:34 +0000 Peasinapod 2126626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember doing it... But my husband said he saw it after so it somehow got out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126618 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 10:00:02 +0000 mrsjyw 2126618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing that I really recall. Aside from a lil pushing on my stomach from the nurse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126614 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 09:59:27 +0000 .twist. 2126614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126529 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 09:18:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2126529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they t old me to keep pushing and kept pushing hard on my uterus (ouch) and I *think* I felt something slide out like jello and a bunch of liquid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126433 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 08:18:36 +0000 Alivoo01 2126433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't recall! I think once the baby was out, that's all I focused on! I knew it was out because the OB was inspecting it and telling me about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126369 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:42:00 +0000 mediagirl 2126369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I blocked it out because I don't remember. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126365 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:39:45 +0000 twodoghouse 2126365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both placentas were removed during Blake's C section. I remember it taking forever and my dr had a hard time getting everything out. There was a lot of weird tugging and stretching going on. Sometimes with twins the placentas can fuse, but I can't remember if that's what happened with mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126360 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:35:06 +0000 meredithNYC 2126360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, after giving birth I barely had an awareness of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126359 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:34:59 +0000 Finfan 2126359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember at all. I know the OB said I had one of the thickest umbilical cords she had ever seen. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-was-pushing-your-placenta-out-like#post-2126353 Mon, 30 Mar 2015 07:29:36 +0000 Anagram 2126353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, I'm a weirdo, I guess because I remember REALLY needing to push my daughter out. And then I was like, I still need to push! And they told me it was my placenta and I pushed it out. But then I was like, But I still need to push! And they said no, I was done, haha.</p> <p>I just had this crazy feeling of still needing to push. But they said it was just a residual feeling and would go away. </p>
