The placenta is delivered between 5 and 30 minutes after delivery of the baby. the midwife/nurse checks it to make sure it is complete and it is then usually consigned to the medical waste. Some women eat it, it is reputed to be full of vitamins to replace the ones used during pregnancy. It is also supposed to be very good for roses.

∙ 7y agoWhen the baby is born, it is still attached to its end of the umbilical cord. It is still connected to the placenta. You will continue to have contractions until the placenta is delivered, or the doctor will remove it. Once expelled, the placenta is frozen and often sold to medical research labs, or it is incinerated as medical human tissue wastes. However, lately, many people want to claim their baby's placenta, either because of myths they heard or for cord blood.
NOTE: The placenta is considered human medical waste. That means it MUST be disposed of properly. For example, it cannot just go into the home trash bin if a couple decides they really did not want it. Also, state laws may govern whether hospitals can release medical waste to the mother and father.
