Hi. I had an 'emergency' C/S for Hailey and was given an epidural after a 12hr failed induction and am finding I have gaps of knowledge in all the why & how of procedures that were done throughout the labour & c/s (if you don't know, you don't know to ask but I'm certainly becoming more informed for the next time round). Anyway, I was just reading another thread about syntocin and using it to deliver the placenta when I suddenly thought I wonder how they treat removing the placenta in a C/S? I know it might sound like a dumb question but do they just pull it out or wait for it to come away from the wall of your uterus? Why don't OB's de-brief you on all this stuff?
