I had a very straight forward water birth, Elliot arrived after only 4 hours pushing for 25 mins of that. However my placenta proved to be difficult- it took 40 mins to deliver and we were very close to considering theatre (I had the injection)
I decided to have the injection and do delayed cord clamping (DCC didn't happen in the end I didn't remind the MW)
I had to deliver the placenta 'on land' as my hospital don't do it in the pool.
What are the chances of me having difficulty again? Is it something I'll be prone to or is it random, just wondering if people who had experienced similar or worse had the same again or not?
