Natural Childbirth Tips From Midwives : Placenta Delivery

[2tanners]

I actually enjoyed delivering the placentas, as the babies too!!

at least there are no bones in the placenta.

I'm actually not so worried about the pain of delivering a child but is delivering the placenta painful? That worries me the most. I plan on having a home water birth for my first child is this unwise?

@tamemeifyoucan . Delivering a baby is actually mor epainful then the placenta. You just feel something "ooze" out... Does not hurt at all.... :-)

They probably gave you Pitocin which is the synthetic version of a natural hormone called Oxytocin. Oxytocin is released when the mother breastfeeds; so if you just breastfeed your baby your body releases that drug naturally, and prompts contractions for the placenta to be birthed.

I see there are no other comments here, so I thought I'd leave something. I'm leaning heavily toward and unassissted home birth with my next (3rd) child, and found this video very helpful and informative. A lot of the material I've seen focuses mainly on the birth of the baby and leaves out delivery of the placenta. So thank you for posting this!
