| After the child is born, the next and last important thing is the coming away of the placenta, or afterbirth. |
| After a few hours, the afterbirth has come out, and the cow is contentedly chewing the cud while the new calf suckles. |
| After the baby is delivered, the placenta's job is done and it is delivered as the afterbirth. |
| Obediently Olympia sipped a cup of water, and Daphne cleaned up the child and afterbirth. |
| The calf must have been delivered through the birth canal and then both it and the afterbirth were abducted. |
| In Xhosa tradition, the afterbirth and umbilical cord were buried or burned to protect the baby from sorcery. |
