Unreal. Also, placenta in German translates to “mother cake” in English!

Here are Friday Fun Facts about our Friend, the Placenta! ・・ ✨💕The Placenta💕✨ 🤰🏻The side of the placenta that is attached to the mother is called the “maternal side”. The placenta is attached to the uterine wall by small units of tissue and blood vessels. These units are called “cotyledons” and they are responsible for stabilizing the placenta, as well as facilitating the exchange of nutrients and oxygen. 👶🏼The side that the umbilical cord attaches to is called the “fetal side. The fetal side is covered in two layers of membranes; the inner layer is called the amnion and the outer layer is called the chorion. These membranes go around the developing baby and contain the amniotic fluid that the baby develops in. When a woman’s water breaks it is really the membranes breaking and releasing amniotic fluid.💕✨ #placenta #placentafacts #placentanerd #anatomy #placentasrock #birthart #placentaart #placentamom #funfacts #sacramento #placentaencapsulation #placentalove #placentaspecialist #Repost @student_midwife_studygram (at Folsom, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Zg9SVJATb/?igshid=skje95w3z954

Placentas are RAD! 👍👍👍 #Repost @binibirth • • • • • • Let’s talk placentas! Placentas are an organ that your body grows during pregnancy, just to take care your of your baby! It is responsible for providing nutrients and oxygen to your baby and removing any toxins from the baby’s blood. It attaches itself to the walls of the uterus, and it from here that the umbilical cord arises. If you have a vaginal birth, you will also deliver your placenta naturally, often called the third stage of labor. Recently, placenta encapsulation has also become a common practice, as many claim the potential benefits this brings, such as decrease in postpartum depression levels and an increase in milk production. 📸 @thelanguageofbirth #placentaart #placenta #placentafacts #placentanerd #placentasrock #placentamagic #placentalove #placentamom #sacramento #placentaencapsulation #placentatime (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5RwnbxJ5hs/?igshid=ekm45x1q9o42

The placenta is mysterious but mighty. The only transient organ in the body (meaning it grows, then leaves), belonging to both the mother and the fetus, the placenta is a major part of our little corner of class Mammalia. The organ grows in the uterus and hooks into the mother’s body to provide the fetus with oxygen, blood, and nutrients. Although scientists have plenty of questions about it—there’s no way of studying it as it develops—what we do know proves how amazing the placenta is.

Passing on this great informative post since I ❤️ #placentapower 💪... P L A C E N T A❤️ the only temporary organ, a multifunctional organ, acting as baby's lungs to supply oxygen, kidneys to filter out waste, and as gastrointestinal and immune systems by delivering nutrients and antibodies. • MATERNAL SIDE: attached to uterine wall • FETAL SIDE: connected to baby via umbilical cord ✨The placenta detaches from the inside of the uterus after the baby is born, this leaves behind a wound 6-8 inches in diameter that needs time for healing to ward off infection and hemorrhaging—at least 4-6 weeks for the wound to completely heal. One of the many reasons birth givers need lots of rest and community care to recover & heal✨ #Repost @viviandoula #placenta #placentalove #placentafacts #pregnancy #birth #postpartum #humanplacenta #placentanerd #postpartumbody #afterbirth #firstfortydays #4thtrimester #placentamom #sacramento #placentaencapsulation (at Sacramento, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1FS9tgJHDb/?igshid=1iu02fge9n7hb

Oh, the amazing placenta! Here are some fun facts! #placentasrock #placentapower #placentanerd #placentafacts #placentamom #sacramento #placentaencapsulation #placentalove #placentamagic #Repost @placentaplus ・・・ • The sperm is responsible for creating the placenta and umbilical cord. So, technically, the placenta is *his* organ- growing in your body, supporting the baby you both created. How beautiful is that? • A placenta is typically about 1/6th the weight of the baby (1-3 lbs). • A baby can send stem cells through the placenta to heal its mother's organs if they are struggling, including the brain, liver, kidney and lung. The placenta also creates cells to protect the mother’s heart and fend of breast cancer. • The placenta preforms the duties of a lung, liver, kidney and its own endocrine system providing all the hormones for both mama and baby throughout pregnancy. #placentapills #placentacapsules #sperm #conception #newborn #pregnancy (at Vacaville, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/By3gL7VAmYB/?igshid=11y59saiv13p3
