Normal placenta?

[marusempai]

Zelda had a doe and a buck this morning!



My question is, she's got two amber colored bubbles hanging out of her now, along with the expected ropey bloody stuff. That's normal right? She also had an empty bubble come out before the first kid, freaked me the heck out! It was just dangling from her butt making me wonder what on earth was going on in there! But the babies are up and nursing and making adorable baby noises, and Zelda is taking good care of them now that she's figured out what the heck is going on.

Probably just the remains of the gestational sack... There isn't another kid in there, is there? Placenta looks 'meaty'. What you are seeing is prob just other goop

(edited: because another word for goop, with k on end is evidently a bad word... Oops &#128563

Here's good pic of that placenta.

The first "bubble" that comes out is the amniotic sac. That is immediately surrounding the kid, inside the placenta. Once the kid(s) has been born, the placenta comes out. The placenta is thicker tissue (good description earlier of "meaty") and has cotyledons on it, which "button" the placenta to the uterus. They're dark, roundish looking dots. Sometimes amniotic fluid gets caught in the tissue and can make "bubbles" after the kid is born.

Yeah, it's normal. If you want to get it out of the way and/or hurry it along, you can tie a knot in it.

Sounds like it was normal then, just trapped fluids maybe... everything came out and she seems to be doing fine!

That first bubble wasn't quite like that though - it was completely empty, and just hung there! The next couple pushes there was a big gush (not the dangling bubble), and the first kid came out over the top of the first bubble, as it were. Maybe a little Jacob and Esau action and they switched places at the last possible instant. Everybody seems happy and healthy though, hooray!

I've seen an empty sac before the first kid bubble before.
