I took about 40 mins to birth the placenta. It wasn't coming in the pool before it started to cool too much. I had no contractions at all after DD2 was born but getting up and going to the toilet made it just fall out. I'm sure it was just me holding it in until then. I then moved to the couch for a rest, baby's checks and mine. After a little while I popped upstairs to bed. My muscles were sore the next day but I still managed up and down the stairs, albeit slowly! Never actually occurred to me that that might be an issue.

Worth pointing out that my labour was quick and I didn't lose much blood. I was very much on a post birth high. Tired, but it was about 2am before we went to bed. Lucky I'd had a nice long nap in the afternoon.
