My cat just gave birts to 2 kittens but they were born without their individual placentas. They are fine. The big one where all the kittens are in didnt come out either. Should I worry????

She probably ate the placenta's ( they often do ) but you should get her examined by a vet to make sure all of the kittens came out as well as the placenta's. Then please get her spayed ( there are too many unwanted kitties in the world suffering ).

your cat may have delievered the placentas and eaten them before you got to her .. if the kittens were born and she severed the cord before the placentas were passed you shouldn't need to worry too much they will come out given time..
not sure what you mean by
The big one where all the kittens are in didnt come out either.
each kitten has its own individual sac and the queen licks that off at the moment of birth .. there is nothing else that needs to be passed except for the placentas..and these are quickly eaten.

There is no big one. Each kitten had it's own "sack", and placenta. Usually, the mother eats them. If you think there was not a placenta for each kitten, call the vet. A retained placenta can cause severe infection.

I would call your vet and ask if you should bring the mother in.
