After the placenta is expelled from the body, the uterus immediately begins to shrink down to it's pre-pregnancy size.

The uterus should be rather hard as it is contracting to normal size, but it may become soft, or boggy, and the nurse will massage the uterus until it becomes firm.

What is it called when the placenta is birthed before the fetus?

This condition is called Placenta Previa. With placenta previa, the placenta grows on the lower part of the uterus partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix. The placenta should form at the top of the uterus, above the baby. With a normal pregnancy, the baby would be born first, then the placenta. With placenta previa, the placenta would be delivered first. Women with placenta previa require a c-section because as soon as the umbilical cord comes into contact with oxygen, the baby will automatically breathe with his lungs. Delivering the placenta first puts the baby at risk of suffocation in the womb.

Where placenta is located?

In normal pregnancy, the placenta is located at the top of the uterus, above the baby. So the placenta would be delivered after the baby. Placenta Previa is when the placenta forms in the lower part of the uterus, partially or totally covering the opening of the cervix. In this condition, the placenta would be delivered first during a vaginal delivery. Women with Placenta Previa require delivery by cesarean section, because as soon as the umbilical cord reaches oxygen, the baby will automatically use his lungs to breathe. So, if the placenta were to be delivered first, the umbilical cord would reach oxygen and the baby would be in the womb suffocating because the lack of oxygen.

My placenta is located at the top of the inside of your bellyDoes it matter?

Yes, it matters. Your placenta should always be in your uterus, and I find it quite concerning that it is in my belly instead. If it's at the top and front of your uterus, I am pretty sure it's okay. The problem comes when it is located too low, in which case it blocks the baby from passing through the cervix when its time to give birth. This won't cause problems if you are being followed by an OB, but you will most likely have to have a C-section.


How many weeks would you be if your uterus is 15.4cm long?

The answer varies depending on how many children the woman has had, whether she is having multiples and maybe a few other things. Doctors measure the uterus by using a tape measure on the centimeter side. The start at the top of the pubic bone and end at the top of the uterus. Measuring 15 centimeters at 15 weeks is typical, but in the case of women who have had large families, their uterus at 15 weeks could be up to their belly buttons. And multiples have their own set of difficulties in measuring. Ultrasound is the most effective way of determining the gestational age of the baby.

What happens if the afterbirth is not removed?

Risks from a retained placenta include hemorrhage and infection. In birth centers and attended home birth environments, it is not uncommon for care providers to wait for the placenta's birth for up to 2 hours, but in a hospital setting most health care providers opt for a manual extraction if the placenta is not expelled within 30 minutes of delivering the baby. Breast feeding, massage of the fundus (top of the uterus) and an injection of oxytocin are all helpful in assisting in delivering the placenta (afterbirth).
