Hello, from the history you have given, well placenta is usually disposed after the delivery, after thoroughly checking it and making sure that no cotyledons of the placenta are left behind, inside the uterus. Generally no hospital will preserve the placenta unless there is some pathology and if required for histopathological purpose. Hope i was helpful to you.
