Retained placenta

[GirlMama99]

I'm nearly 1 month PP, had DD 6 weeks early due to an infection in the placenta.
After delivery my placenta came out no problem, no one checked it had all came out. For 5 days following i passed a clot of placenta. Then the clots stopped passing. I had a scan and sonographer says there is still a lot of placenta left behind. They sent me home and said come back in 3 weeks for another scan to see if it's naturally passed but my scan is tomorrow and I've not had a single clot since.
Is it likely when the scan shows retained placenta that they will give me the tablets there and then? Or is it another wait and appointment? Terrified as I have a toddler and prem newborn that I don't want to leave again 😔

Might they manually remove it? That is what they did for me under local anaesthetic but that was the whole thing and directly after birth 2...I would think they wouldn't want to delay getting it out if it hasn't passed naturally due to risk of infection

I had a hysteroscopy and manual removal under general.

I had a manual removal under local with both my births. Long time ago now my DC are 25 and 30.

Yep manual removal for me too, with a spinal block. Was immediately after labour though once DD was born, and it became apparent that I had ‘ragged membranes’ and a significant part of the placenta hadn’t come out.
