I had my both my girls at Coffs Harbour Health Campus & with both of them I was given the injection straight after birth & left to push the placenta out with my next contraction. I actually think it took 2 contractions with DD2.

When I had DS I had him at a different hospital & wasn't given the injection at all. Wasn't even offered it. Then the MV grabbed the cord & just started pulling at it. I could feel it & thought it wasn't right. I started pushing even though I hadn't had any contractions yet & forgot about it as I was a bit pre occupied with my son.

I later had a massive clot & when I got a nurse to come in she said 'Hm...looks a bit like placenta doesn't it?' Just flush it & walked out. ???

It would've been about 15 - 20 cm long & about 10 cm wide & around 5 cm thick - so pretty big.

When I told a friend about it last week she was concerned & told me to get checked out. I did have light bleeding til 9 weeks which I thought was odd, but it stopped & there's been nothing else.

What do you think?? Should I get checked out?
