Afterbirth

Afterbirth is the placenta, umbilical cord and fetal membranes that develop in the mother's body during pregnancy. After the baby is born, these structures must be removed from the uterus. However, sometimes the afterbirth can remain in the uterus, which can lead to serious complications for the mother and baby.

The placenta can remain in the uterus for various reasons. For example, if the child was large or had some developmental problems, the afterbirth may remain longer than usual. Also, if the birth was difficult or lasted a long time, the afterbirth may also remain longer.

If the placenta remains in the uterus longer than expected, this can lead to various complications. Firstly, it can cause an infection, since the placenta is a habitat for bacteria. Secondly, it can damage the uterus, leading to bleeding and other problems.

To avoid complications associated with leaving a placenta in the uterus after childbirth, you must follow certain rules. After delivery, the doctor should check that all fetal structures have been removed from the uterus. If the placenta remains, the doctor should remove it.

In addition, after giving birth, a woman should monitor her health. If she has any symptoms, such as bleeding or abdominal pain, she should see a doctor immediately.

After birth, as after conception, the placenta (placenta) and umbilical cord are key elements in the baby's development process. The placenta is a layer of tissue that is attached to the walls of the uterus and performs the function of metabolism between mother and child. It also provides protection and nutrition for the baby. The umbilical cord, on the other hand, connects the placenta to the baby's body and carries nutrients and oxygen from mother to baby.

After birth, the placenta and umbilical cord must be removed from the uterus. This can be done manually or through surgery. Removing the placenta and umbilical cord may take several hours after birth, but is necessary to prevent possible complications and infections.

Removing the placenta and umbilical cord may also cause some bleeding and pain for the mother. However, these symptoms usually go away within a few days. It is important to remember that removing the placenta and umbilical cord is a necessary procedure to ensure the health and well-being of the baby.

Aftermath - the fetal umbilical cord, placenta and membranes. They are needed to nourish and protect the child in the womb, but when released, they are separated from the woman’s body. In case of multiple or premature pregnancy, the obstetrician-gynecologist can remove only the placenta as the umbilical cord from one of the children, which will inevitably lead to the development of diseases such as Hirschsprung's disease (the inability to empty the rectum independently), delayed mental and physical development. This is why women are so afraid of a caesarean section - they are afraid of losing their children. The afterbirth is a protective membrane that is removed from the body a couple of hours after the baby is born. Its loss is accompanied by severe bleeding; placental abruption often occurs prematurely, which harms both the mother and the newborn. In girls, a detached placenta greatly complicates childbirth. A cervical episiotomy will be done to remove the placenta due to the possibility of rupture. Some cases lead to the death of a woman in labor and her newborn baby due to the fault of a poorly performing obstetrician-gynecologist. Without an umbilical cord, the baby dies by the first day of life. For this reason, such an operation is performed only when there is great need and there is a personal desire of the woman in labor. Removal of the placenta prematurely due to labor, the so-called manual separation, is possible with significant
