    I cannot find out this info anywhere online so hopefully someone can clear this up for me.

    I push out baby a. Does baby b come next or baby a's placenta? I know this sounds weird but I am really curious lol

    For me, it was Baby A, then Baby B (6 minutes later), then placentas. I don't know if that is always the case or not. I never really thought about it, good question.

    For me it was also Baby A then 3 minutes later Baby B and then it took awhile for the placentas to come out, and when they came out it appeared to be 1 big placenta instead of 2. (They had fused).

    I think there are rare instances where a placenta comes out between births. But not with me. My placentas had fused so, Baby A was born, break Baby B's water, Baby B born, then the monster placenta came out (with a little traction.)

    Loved my vaginal birth and great recovery. Good luck with yours!

    Same as above...don't worry about "weird" questions...I actually asked the Dr this after we found out we were delivering that day!:) Mine was A born, broke B's water, 54 mins later B was born, and then a fused placenta that hurt worse than the babies! But like Gena22...I loved it and can't wait to do it again!!!:) Good luck!

    Baby A then B then placentas. I can't remember how they secure the umbilical cord of A, I think they the leave clamp on so it remains outside.
    For me they didn't break Baby B's water and he soaked all the doctors. :laughing:
