Which end point defines the placenta stage?

Explanation:
The placenta stage is the period after the baby is born when the placenta is delivered. It begins once the baby is born and ends with the complete delivery of the placenta and the attached umbilical cord. The end point is the placenta being expelled in full. During this stage, the uterus continues to contract to detach and push out the placenta, and you may see the umbilical cord lengthen and a small bleed as the placenta detaches. After the placenta is delivered, assess for hemorrhage and ensure the uterus remains firm through gentle massage as needed.
