What are the Risks Associated with Placental Delivery?
While the delivery of the placenta is usually straightforward, complications can occur. These include: - Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH): Excessive bleeding can result from incomplete placental separation or uterine atony. - Retained placenta: When the placenta does not deliver within 30 minutes, it may need to be manually removed to prevent hemorrhage and infection. - Placenta accreta: A condition where the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall, requiring surgical intervention.
