Detailed explanation-1: -The third stage of parturition starts after birth and ends with the delivery of the afterbirth (placenta and membranes). If the doctor takes an active role-including gently pulling on the placenta-stage 3 typically takes around five minutes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The third stage of labour is when your placenta and the bag that held your baby and the amniotic fluid (the membranes) are delivered. You may not know you’re in the third stage (or what’s going on) as you’ll be busy getting to know your baby.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once the placenta is out, your practitioner will examine it to make sure it’s intact and, in some cases, it’ll be sent to the pathology department if you experienced any complications during its delivery. If you’re planning on taking your placenta home, now’s the time to speak up (more on that below).

Detailed explanation-4: -After your baby is born, the placenta also needs to be delivered. This is called the third stage of labour. You may choose to ‘actively manage’ this stage of labour. Meaning that you will receive an injection of Syntocinon (a synthetic version of the hormone oxytocin) to help your uterus contact and birth the placenta.

Detailed explanation-5: -The placenta is an organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy. Placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the inner wall of the uterus before birth. Placental abruption can deprive the baby of oxygen and nutrients and cause heavy bleeding in the mother.
