Afterbirth period

After some time, you will feel a contraction in your uterus again. It’s like a “half contraction” and it will cause the placenta to detach. Push one more time and the placenta will be born, usually without much effort. After the birth of the placenta, we will check whether you need to be stitched up and if you are not losing too much blood. We always stitch under local anesthesia, even at home.
