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
