Birthing the placenta during c section?

clabrecque

Hey everyone,

I ended up having an emergency c section, I was at least 8 cm when I went to the OR and I guess they pulled out my baby, sewed me up, and pushed my placenta out vaginally.... I haven't had my 6 week appointment yet, and I wanted to ask my doctor then, but I'm really curious. Does anyone know the reasoning for this? Has anyone else had this done??

I've never heard of that! How strange. maybe there's a benefit of delivering the placenta vaginally?

That's really odd to me.... but im not an expert by any means only speaking by experience from my own c/s they removed mine through the c/s incision not vaginally.

Me too last time and dr said that is what he will do this time.

So strange! I am curious why they would do this. My OB definitely removed the placenta while I was open and told me that he likes to make sure everything in the abdomen is very 'dry' before he sutures you back up. Very interesting though!
