Hi everyone,

DD1 placenta was delivered with no issues at all within 20 mins..

DD2 placenta took over an hour with me initially trying to push it out, then standing up and myself giving the cord a tug at the same then the needle in my thigh still nothing then the midwife put in an indwelling catheter which drained my bladder and the placenta just fell out... So i and the midwife put it down to obviously my bladder being so full it blocked the way for the placenta to exit. (during hospital time delivery, 1 hour, i managed to drink almost 1 litre of water)

And this yr DS i was very conscious only to have very small sips of water during the time i was at hospital (6 hours ) as i had thought that maybe it was my full bladder that blocked the cervix.. Tried to push again no luck so consented to the needle again...after almost 2 hrs still nothing...Me pushing, 2 separate midwifes pulling then the surgeon came and had a look he gave it one last try before sending me off to surgery and managed to get it out....most HORRIBLE experience....

Anyway, i'd like to have another baby in the next 1-2 yrs and thats what is on my mind!! What if that happens again? Apparently the chances are quite high....boo!!

Anyone had any experience with it??

I thought this time i might ask them not to give me the jab as i read that it can make the cervix close too tightly and that's why the placenta cannot get out....

Peace and Love...xoxo
