Yeah, you are right, Tootie. I was meant to say that aswell!

Juliette - I have no idea about the placenta either. But now I wanna know! I imagine because the procedure is so quick, they must just cut it out. Hmm... All I know is that mine was "gritty". I only know that because it was written on the form that they stapled in my infant welfare book. Sorry to hear that you feel ripped-off for having a caesar. I didn't really mind with mine but that's because I wasn't fussed about a natural labour to begin with (because of history of still-birth in my family during natural labours). I hope that you can have a successful VBAC next time tho
