I deliver placentas in squatting at 5 minutes postpartum, so when the delivery is delayed, it is noteworthy. I delivered a woman who got pregnant with IUD in place. The placenta did not separate for 50 minutes, even pushing in squatting. So, while in squatting i pulled quite hard and even on the cord and finally it started coming down and delivered. The IUD was not in the placenta but in the sac and I think it was stuck into the uterus and that is what made it hard to deliver. Anyone else have this experience?
