sorry if tmi!!!
right been updating birth plan notes,, and like on a diffrent thread i said that i have only made notes on pain relife,, and that i dont want to be told if i tear or need to be cut as it will only worry me,,
but...
after the baby is out,,
how long is it before the placenta comes out?? i know some people have an injection to speed it up and does it hurt?? i have been told that this hurts more than the baby coming out as you still get contractions to froce it out
any info or advice if to have the injection would be great
thanks and sorry if tmi!!!

Karys, 23 weeks.
she said her first two that the midwife just pushed down on her stomach and asked her to cough and that it didnt hurt but that because of the painfulness of her thirds contractions she had the injection and it hurt like hell. Her other two were complicated births andshe didnt want me to tell them cause she thinks people tell too many scary storys that only happen one in a million.lol shame she had to tell me. ewwww lol
the injection was just like any other, and hardly noticed.
i think you can choose to not have it, i dont know what happens if you dont have it, maybe it takes longer to be delivered?
in any case i dont remember having contractions after baby was born, or if i did they werent sore.so i think maybe a combination of the mwife pressing my stomach and pulling the cord helped deliver the placenta.
hope that helps.
