The placenta is a temporary organ that grows during pregnancy to filter oxygen, blood, and nutrients to your baby. After you give birth, you will also deliver your placenta shortly after. Sometimes all or part of the placenta stays in the womb. This is called a retained placenta and it can have serious side effects.
