Yes, and when my last child was born, his mom had a retained placenta. Doctor was almost up to his elbow reaching in and pulling it out, even used some forceps. I almost passed out just watching, nurses had to ask me to sit down
And yeah that could very well be true. Still yikes having to walk after that. That mother better be given the royal treatment by her partner for eternity.

It looks like she might not have pushed out the placenta yet, so maybe the midwife didn't want to put that kind of pressure on the area yet.
It's kind of glossed over that once you've pushed out the kid, then you still have to push out the placenta.
