There’s options around birthing your placenta. Talk with your doula, midwife, or OB.

There are a number of different approaches to the birth of the placenta.

Some women birth their placenta naturally.

Some have their placental birth medically managed.

There are pros and cons to each option.

If you have certain other types of intervention, such as induction or augmentation of labour, your options may be more limited, but you still have choices.

To answer a question that we get asked by many women: your placenta belongs to you.

It is always a good idea to get informed
before you decide what's right for you.

If you'd like information about the birth of the placenta, we have an information hub on www.sarawickham.com/byp which links to some free blogs posts, articles and information pages as well as my book on this topic.
