It usually takes till the babies nurse or you milk her for it to come out.

I wouldn't worry too much unless it takes more than a few hours. Mine usually expell within about 2 hours. You can give small doses of oxytocin to help the placenta pass if it isn't coming. Sounds like all went well, though, congrats.

If it's there 24hrs after labor, I start antibiotics. That's very unusual, however, most will come out within a few to several hours. Don't pull on it.
