25.01.2022 Maybe you're glad to have a placenta to feed your baby now?!

24.01.2022 PLACENTA RESEARCH UVI of oxytocin solution is an inexpensive and simple intervention that could be performed while placental delivery is awaited. However, highquality randomized trials show that the use of oxytocin has little or no effect. Further research into the optimal timing of manual removal and into UVI of prostaglandins or plasma expander is warranted. https://www.cochranelibrary.com//14651858.CD001337.pu/full

20.01.2022 Life-giving miracle

19.01.2022 After giving birth to her son Hart, who she shares with husband Evan Spiegel, in May, the 35-year- old had her placenta freeze dried and then not only encapsulated into pills, but made into a tincture. Ive found it to be really beneficial. I felt really good every time I took the pills especially, says Kerr.

18.01.2022 PLACENTA RESEARCH Researchers have developed a microfluidic device that mimics that placental barrier, paving the way for a better understanding of how infections are linked to preterm delivery. Read more at the link

15.01.2022 While your body may eventually morph back into it's "traditional" size and shape, the truth is that it takes time and more and more changes will take place before you get there. After all, your body has just done something monumental, so it needs a while to re-calibrate and find its footing again

13.01.2022 Summary "Placental tissue is a source of natural hormones, trace elements and essential amino acids the ingestion of raw or dehydrated placenta could influence postpartum convalescence, lactation, mood and recovery. The risk of intoxication from individual intake appears to be low in terms of microbiological contamination and the content of potentially toxic trace elements. However, the mother should be advised that the processing and use of the placenta is her responsibili...ty and that the transmission of infections cannot be ruled out."

13.01.2022 Placentophagy Placentophagy is the medical term for when an animal eats their own placenta postpartum. It is an extremely common and natural phenomenon, with ne...arly every single placental bearing species partaking in this fetu-licious feast. The notable exceptions are camels (too sandy probably), seals, whales, and dolphins, but thats about it. Even humans, and all other primates are considered placentophagic too. So why do cows and other animals eat their placenta? I have heard of several old wives tales about this act, with the most common being that the placenta is nutritious and full of vitamins and minerals. That seems like an ok theory, so I looked it up and it turns out that the nutritional profile of raw placenta is a protein content of 6%, fat content 0.78%, and high levels of iron, calcium, phosphous, sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, and copper. Hormones detect include b-endorphins, 11-Deoxycortisol, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, 7-ketodehydroepiandrosterone, aldosterone, allopregnanolone, androstenedione, corticosterone, cortisol, cortisone, dehydroepiandrosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, estriol, estrone, melatonin, progesterone, and testosterone. So it is highly nutritious, even with some added hormoneshow naughty. In humans, placental consumption has anecdotally been attributed to a variety of health benefits including a reduction of postpartum depression, increased maternal bonding, decreased recovery time, alleviation of hemmorhage, and much more. In animals, placentophagy has been shown to improve maternal-offspring bonding, and promote endogenous opioid release for an analgesic effect postpartum. I think there is some evidence to confirm at least mildly positive health benefits for this practice. But like many things in animal behaviour, there are likely other reasons afoot. Placentophagy has also been suggested to be a predator defence mechanism. Essentially the theory is that by cleaning up any trace that a birth has occurred nearby, predators will not be as attracted to the vulnerable newborn. I think this theory has a lot of merit, and believe it plays a big role in the instinctual drive. Births are messy, and a big piece of placental pie, just laying in the middle of the pasture, could attract a lot of attention from Mr. Wolf. So overall, I think placentophagy is multifactorial. A combination of maternal bonding, healing, defence, and nutrition. In the veterinary and cattle rancher communities, I have noticed a recommendation to ranchers to remove the placenta from the cow, immediately after expulsion, in order to protect the cow from consuming it. The rationalization is that if a cow consumes her placenta, she becomes at risk for choke or GI obstruction. Many ranchers will have experience with a story of having a cow choke on her placenta, and have what they believe reason enough to justify the effort of collecting up placentas and disposing of them. To others, this will be news, and another many experienced ranchers will have never heard of or seen a placental choke. They will advocate that nature knows best, and to leave the placenta available for the cow to consume. Regardless of opinions, Ill leave the comments open to debate, and hopefully this gave everyone something to chew on!

12.01.2022 This study compared neonatal outcomes (hospitalization, neonatal intensive unit admission, or neonatal death in the first 6 weeks) between placenta consumers and nonconsumers (n = 23 242). Placentophagy was NOT associated with any adverse neonatal outcomes!

11.01.2022 Statement from Placenta Services Australia Inc regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic.

11.01.2022 Its Australian Food Safety week and this is a reminder that a good hand wash can go a long way when it comes to minimising your exposure to dangerous bacteria. #AFSW2018

11.01.2022 We are still collecting responses in our on-going placenta consumption survey. If you have consumed your placenta whilst living in Australia and are yet to fill out the survey, we'd love to hear from you. Please share with your networks as more responses give us stronger data <3 https://placentaservices.com.au/psa-data-collection/

10.01.2022 Hilary Duff got theis it ok to eat your placenta debate started again when she revealed her decision to not only ingest her placenta in smoothie form but to have it preserved into ice cubes for further use.

10.01.2022 Scientists found that the cells surrounding suppressed tissue communicated with the placenta, which then signalled the rest of the organisms tissuesincluding the other hind legto slow their growth until the hindered limb caught up

10.01.2022 Thank you sooo much @the_nurturing_root for this incredible photo of the umbilical vein and arteries ! . It contains 1 vein, which carries oxygenated,... nutrient-rich blood to the fetus, and 2 arteries that carry deoxygenated, nutrient-depleted blood away. Incredible! . #umbilicalcord #placentaart #midwifery #anatomyandphysiology #anatomydrawing #medical #medicalassistant #midwiferystudent #midwiferynotes #midwiferycare #anatomyandphysiology #anatomystudy #umbilicalcord #umbilical #pregnant #pregnancy #birth See more

09.01.2022 The Placenta The placenta contains a complex network of blood vessels that allow the exchange of nutrients and gases between the mother and the developing... fetus. The blood supply of the mother does not actually mix with that of the fetus; this exchange occurs by diffusion of gases and transport of nutrients between the two blood supplies. The transfer of nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the fetus, and waste products and carbon dioxide back from the fetus to the mother, allows the growth and development of the fetus throughout pregnancy. Antibodies can also pass from the mother to the fetus, providing protection from certain diseases. This benefit can last for several months after birth. ~ In addition to the transfer of substances, the placenta has two other main functions. It can act as a barrier between the mother and the fetus, preventing some harmful substances in the blood of the mother from damaging the fetus. However, it cannot exclude all harmful substances passing to the fetus. For example, alcohol can cross the placental barrier. The placenta also acts as an endocrine organ, producing several important hormones during pregnancy. These hormones work together to control the growth and development of the placenta and the fetus, and act on the mother to support the pregnancy and prepare for childbirth. #placental #midwiferycare #midwifery #obstetrician #midwives #placenta #placentalove #studentmidwife #midwifery #midwifelife #midwiferystudent #childbirth #childbearing #childbirtheducator #endocrinology #endocrinesystem #placentaart #vein #arteries #humanbody#humananatomyandphysiology #anatomy #anatomyandphysiology #humananatomy #humanbiology #doula #doulas #childbirtheducation #biologiahumana #biology #biomedicalscience #biomedical #biomedicina #obstetricsandgynecology #doctor #medicine #juniordoctors #juniordoctor

09.01.2022 "Dr. Melendez is now recommending the pills to his patients, "Out of the more 1,000 patients that Julianne has taken care of with the pills not one of them had a bad adverse reaction everyone said all good things including breast milk production, decrease chance of postpartum depression and just the energy that patients need after having a baby," OBGYN Dr Melendez said."

08.01.2022 If you consume your placenta are you still vegan? What's your perspective?

08.01.2022 The rates of placenta praevia and placenta accreta have increased and are likely to continue to increase as a result of rising rates of caesarean births and the use of assisted reproductive technology, such as IVF.
