No one told me that delivering the placenta would be so painful. The doctor had to yank it out of me.

I’m thinking delivering the placenta could feel worst because you are already exhausted. I just remember when the midwife touched my belly I almost screamed.

Omgg the contractions when the placenta is still inside is ROUGHHHH!!! I thought I was still pushing out the baby lool

For me it didn’t hurt what had me sitting there crying and begging for my life was the PRESSURE I felt like I couldn’t breathe my lord 🤣 that pressure was heavy and it had me thinking I was pushing for nothingggg I swear I thought I would need a c section if I stopped pushing so I just kept going but yes it was definitely the pressure

I had a tear in my urethra and the dr thought the placenta wasn’t fully out and that’s where the bleeding was coming from and she shoved her entire forearm back up after my epidural wore off. That was SO much worse than anything before that🥴😅

I don’t even remember delivering my placenta, so maybe the baby? lol

I’m also laughing at the steak for the placenta emoji. That’s hilarious

I experienced zero pain delivering the placenta and I didn’t have an epidural.
My midwife did wait 1 hr after baby was born to have me push the placenta out.

I felt the placenta slide out like 10 seconds after my daughter. I didn't push, it just fell out. It was honestly such a weird feeling lol. I had an epidural so none of it hurt, I could just feel a huge pressure difference

I didn’t feel pain! It felt more gooey and soft than delivery my baby 😂 especially while having my baby in my arms!

I dont love the tummy massage to make sure everything is out after birth but my first i needed surgery cause they didnt do it enough so 🤷♀️ placenta didnt hurt to me but all my boys were kinda big it just feels weird.

I honestly didn’t feel a thing after I gave birth to my child. The midwife gave me a shot so the pacenta gets removed by itself and they just pulled the cord slowly. I don’t remember any pain.

I wish i had experience something. Tht epidual liter had me feel absolutely NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOT A THING. I dont know wht was happening down there.

I thought it was a good substitute. 🤣

indeed 🤣

First time I had an epidural so didn’t feel a thing.
Second time I had a water birth with no pain relief. I didn’t even notice any contractions after my baby was born, I stood up a few minutes after giving birth and the midwife told me to push and my placenta came out with the help of gravity, hardly felt it

both time without epidiural,first time alhmost didnt feel anything..second time felt a bit pain when came placenta,but nothing comparing with pain when delivering baby❤️

My doc actually yanked mine out for me without me trying to push. Turns out, they do that if you’ve lost too much blood…. I had an epidural though so it just felt super weird.

In theory delivering the placenta should be painless compared to the baby it’s much smaller and should just slide out whole but for my second baby my placenta came out in shreds and the midwife had to shove her arm up me to claw the rest out I was in AGONISING pain I was clawing at my husband it hurt so much but she kept saying “I just need to get the last few pieces out or you’ll have to go to theatre” so I gritted my teeth dug my nails into hubby and screamed “GET IT ALL OUT NOWWWW” omg the way I hear him retelling the story I think he was more traumatised than me lol. He could see her hand bopping up and down inside my belly 😵💫

similar thing happened to me🥴😅 I remember one of the nurses came over and covered my daughters ears because she was on my chest and I was screaming so loud
