for moms who have already had babys

Ive been watching births on youtube and its making me so nervous for me own...im more nervous for when the doctor takes the placenta out then when the actual baby comes out! My question is did u feel the placenta coming out did it really hurt? If u have the epidural does it numb it so u cant feel the placenta coming out or u can still feel it?

delivered two with epidural, two without. Didn't feel any of it, besides pushing on stomach. The baby is your concern not the placenta. It Usually happens all in swift order.

Doesn't hurt at all, and yes they Usally give an injection for it to come away, I felt mine come out but no pain it's like a relief the same as when the baby comes out.

After actually delivering the baby your body doesn't even notice the placenta.

Am ftm too...I did it naturally and didnt feel a thing. Only felt the midwife's hand searching if there's anything in there left behind. No pain....nothing. Dont fear darling.

I had the shot & majority of the placenta came our but some got stuck. The first piece coming out did not hurt at all but then the midwife had to put one hand on my stomach & the other inside & pull it out so I didn't hemorrhage, that was more painful than giving birth. That's not a common thing though so hopefully yours just passes & won't feel any pain

I have 3 children and never had an epidural. It didn't hurt at all. Also if you want they give you an injection soon as the baby come out, which speeds up the process of delivering placenta. But honestly,  couldn't even feel it. Don't worry :)

With an epidural it doesnt hurt, I know, but I have heard of ppl who didn't get the epidural and it hurt really bad for them - especially if it doesn't come out easily..

When I had my daughter, I don't even remember delivering the placenta. I was just happy our little girl was finally here.  Plus I did it all naturally.

It shouldn't hurt, but you are still contracting to get the placenta out if not on your own, the they give you a shot to help you deliver it. I'm sure some are harder to deliver than others, mine was huge due to a cord knot, but honestly your pretty numb down there after pushing out baby you don't even pay attention what's happening at the end of the bed. I was holding and staring at my new baby, they could have done anything I wouldnt have noticed!

I had epidural but it did not work felt everything. Not to scare you but the placenta hurt mo re than the actual birth. I do believe the reason for that is because my Dr pulled the placenta out instead of letting me deliv e it.
