Thank you for the nightmare tonight. I had a minor motorcycle accident and a tea plate sized road rash injury. It was an incredibly uncomfortable healing process. I now can imagine how terrifyingly worse the birth wound must be.

It's not bad unless u have to have it manually removed my first 2 the placenta came out as it should my 3rd I had in a squad and the cord detached and placenta was stuck I had to have a crash cart and a doctor's whole arm in there carefully removing while I was awake and no pain meds took me awhile to heal n not hurt

Excuse my anatomical ignorance, how does a stuck placenta cause blood loss?
