retainedplacenta

Retained placenta is when the placenta is not delivered within 30   minutes of the delivery of the baby.  Some facilities or institutions will consider the placenta to be retained only after 60 minutes or even more, but for the majority of locations, 30 minutes is considered a placenta that is retained (stuck). 

There prevalence of retained placenta is about 2-3% of deliverer and can happen in vaginal deliveries or cesarean births. There are several factors that can increase the changes of a retained placenta such as : 

• Previous retained placenta
• Preterm delivery
• uterine anomalies
• previous uterine scar
• preeclampsia
• stillbirth
• small for gestational age infant
• velamentous cord insertion

In the episode, we discuss what to expect in the case of a retained placenta.

Kristen shares her two pregnancy and birth stories, one, a home birth with a midwife, and the second, a planned free birth. Throughout her pregnancies, Kristen was in direct communication with the spirits of her babies on the other side, waiting to come through. In fact, it was they who guided her to make the decision to free birth the second time.

Kristen also shares how she resolved the retained placenta from her free birth naturally at home - something I have never heard anyone do before!

{Trigger Warning: Birth Trauma}

Nearly twenty years ago, Carlee Russell experienced a traumatic birth. Unfortunately, that was just the first of what would be a total of three difficult birth experiences. Carlee candidly shares about this time in life, and how she's processed that season of life in the years that followed. Carlee also answers deeply heart-felt and raw listener questions: Can a traumatic birth be beautiful? What makes birth beautiful in the light of the Gospel? What constitutes strength during birth? Why does sin come in and seemingly ‘tarnish’ some births, while others experience beauty, laughter, peace during their births? Especially for parents who have experienced a traumatic birth, our hope is that when you listen to this episode you will know you are not alone. Our hope is that you will see the heart of God for you during this time.
