This beautiful umbilical cord was 81cm!!! I had to twist it around itself, weaving it into a smaller final shape. It was magnificent. Creating a cord keepsake is something that I LOVE to do. The connection of baby to placenta, placenta to mother and often the partner/co parent will cut the cord, releasing baby from one world and guiding into the next. There are many traditions and beliefs when it comes to baby and placenta finally separated and all are absolutely perfect

All that time maintaining a pregnancy, supplying baby with everything it needs and after the ‘birth day’ a placenta can still offer so much. It may help balance you emotionally in your postpartum recovery, may help to increase your breastmilk supply, mothers have also reported little to no afterbirth pains after subsequent births
