What a great site, just got on and found this, quite amazing that the two can be related. My son Ethan was born July 1, 2007 thus he is now 11 weeks old. He has a hemangioma on his left shoulder/back area which has now ulcerated. At birth my placenta would not come out even with traction/oxytocin thus we needed an ob-gyn to come and physically remove it with her hands (we had a midwife delivery at the hospital). Once removed all attending examined it and said they couldn't believe how mangled it was, came out in chunks, the attachment where the umbilical cord was itself was completely off center, it just didn't look like a healthy, "normal" placenta and chocked it up as that and they discarded it. They never sent it for pathology or anything. I am wondering if possibly this had something to do with his hemangioma now? What do you think?Sarah
