Hi Julie,

That is very interesting, yes there is a lot of pressure to get it out quick! My midwife said i might need to go off and have it surgically removed... Which i didn't want saying that they'd give me a block and get it out which i really didn't want to have done as i had just had a completely natural labour, lights off, my daughters and husband massaging and loving me in the birth centre. I didn't even have panadol to get my placenta out!

What is the longest you could wait before becoming concerned then? After reading your reply it seems as if mine was rushed..

Your way sounds beautiful, right up my alley. : o )
