Hi Beadette, just wanted to say as you might find it of interest. Often placentas that are described as you have above, this could be because of an undiagnosed partial abruption where the placenta had partially seperated previous to birth, therefore resulting in the blackness of the unattached part. Of course this isn't an issue when labour, baby etc goes well. Placentas that come out like this are usually just documented in the notes. So she may have not realised, just a thought.
