Retained placenta?

[Disneybaby4]

This is my forth pregnancy, my last two pregnancys I had a retained placenta. After delivering  my second daughter my placenta tore during the third stage of delivery and I loss so much blood I passed out. I don't know from blood loss or from seeing the doctor shoulders deep inside of me. The next delivery was almost as bad but they could not get the placenta out. It took over an hour with them pounding and pushing down on my stomach. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm 32 weeks and as the date draws closer I'm getting nervous. My  new doctor is pulling all my delivery records and is going to go over them. She said she would talk to me at my next appointment.

Thanks! I'm just worrying, I always have easy deliveries three pushes and the baby's out but the final stage scares me and my husband. I feel sorry for him he about passed out the last two times because of the retained placenta. Looking back on it, the look on his face was priceless when the doctor was all the way inside of me!

I have never had a baby yet, but my mother retained the placenta with both me and my sister. With me they did an emergency d&c on the table, but with my sis she only retained part, and they didn't know, so she hemmorhaged a week later and had to go back in. My midwife knows about it, and the birth center is near the hospital, so I hope everything is fine. My grandmother retained the placenta for two of her pregnancies, and she has seven children, so maybe it won't happen for you this time around. Good luck.
