Today I did my very first placenta with boss Emma coaching me through! So special and so fun. Can’t wait to get these capsules to this gorgeous mumma tomorrow!
My first placenta was also a special one as it was Partial Circummarginate (variation of normal, characterised by the whitish/yellow rim, no proven clinical significance)! Also what my first assignment for APPA was on – amazing to see it in the flesh!
Feels great to know these “magic” pills will soon be helping another mother like they helped both Emma and I!

This incredible image I took recently. I was in awe of how beautiful this placenta and umbilical cord was.
What I’m showing you is a Velamentous cord insertion, which is when the umbilical cord inserts into the membranes not the chorionic plate of the placenta.
This ‘can’ be a dangerous situation especially if there is an artificial ruptured of membranes, but in this case mum and babe we perfectly fine and in safe, professional, experienced care. The vessels look strong and are also in close proximity to the edge of the placenta.
Needless to say the cord keepsake was spectacular

Unedited, no filter pure placenta perfection. Mum and baby boy are doing wonderful.
This mama had meconium present when her waters broke so you will notice a yellowish tinge where the cord inserts. This photo was taken after I removed the amnion membrane (the membrane closest to baby) so the chorion membrane the outer membrane is what you are looking at here. Not as heavy stained.
Cord insertion is off centre but not on the edge either and this is called Eccentric Cord Insertion.
640g completely intact, this placenta gave mama 146 Traditional Chinese Method prepared capsules a fantastic effort.
@shelbtm is an absolutely beautiful person inside and out.
We shared the birth on my fourth baby and now I can give something special in return. She holds a very special place in our hearts and will forever be grateful she is a part of what was a perfect day for us ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Surface vessels cover the surface like branches on a tree. Or so I once believed…our eggs ‘implant’ in our womb like a seed in the earth. To me Placenta is like the roots of a tree, drawing nutrients from the mother, the cord a Trunk carrying life to the baby. I still adore the tree of life reference
