The statement that the placenta and umbilical cord are delivered during Stage 2 of labor is false. In fact, they are delivered during Stage 3, after the baby is born.

During labor, the delivery of the placenta and umbilical cord occurs in Stage 3, not Stage 2. In the stages of childbirth, Stage 1 involves the thinning and dilation of the cervix. During Stage 2, the baby is expelled from the uterus. It is after this, in Stage 3, that the afterbirth occurs, consisting of the delivery of the placenta, umbilical cord, and remaining fetal membranes. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is False.
