Hi Bjrose
First let me say don’t worry, if anything was still left in your uterus you would have had some symptoms way before now.
With the injection it is very common for some women not to remember getting it. There is also a good chance that they forgot to give it. A third option would that the hospital you went to do nor routinely give it, although this would be very unusual. Pulling on the cord, although not the ideal way of birthing the placenta, is a common practice in hospitals. Pulling on the cord when you did not get the injection will not cause any more problems than it would have if you did get the injection.
