Placenta

After you give birth to your new baby, you will go into the Third Stage of labor and deliver the placenta. The placenta will usually come out about 5-20 minutes after the birth of your baby.

Normally the placenta comes out completely. Sometimes there may be a problem and the placenta may tear or partially come out of the uterus. The doctor may have to remove the remaining placenta by hand. If removal by the hand is not successful, you may have to have the placenta surgically removed. This will be kind of like a cesarean incision.

This calculator predicts ovulation dates based on the date of your last period and the length of your menstrual cycle. It provides approximate dates only. Having intercourse during the few days before ovulation will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Since sperm can survive for several days, keep in mind that these are not the only days to become pregnant.

Remember: If your periods are irregular, this calculator is not a good way to predict your ovulation dates. Speak to your doctor about other ways to help you identify when you can conceive.
