What are the risks associated with delivering the placenta?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bleeding: Rarely the placenta does not seperate easily and can lead to bleeding. Also, sometimes after the placenta comes out the uterus does not contract as it should, and you can have excessive bleeding.
