Silly question...

[elisesmum]

I'm having a homebirth (hopefully) so bought a bucket for the placenta but where does it go after that? I definitely don't want to keep it, will the midwife take it or will I have to get rid and if I do can it just go straight in the bin? Sorry for the daft question but I'm very new to this homebirthing xx

My friend had a home birth and they took it away with them and all the clinical waste so she didn't have to worry about any of it!

I had an unplanned homebirth and they will just take it away hun. they had to check the placenta when I gave birth to Joshua. They check to make sure there are the correct amount of vessels and veins I think it was. Good luck
