I think we always do our cords as a love heart because we LOVE our jobs, we LOVE placentas, we LOVE women, we LOVE birth, we LOVE babies, we LOVE breastfeeding and hopefully in most cases the reason this placenta exists is because a special kind of LOVE made it 💜🤱🏻🤰🏼
Dropped this beauty of this morning to a gorgeous new mama! 💜
Cord keepsakes, capsules and a beautiful print all inclusive of our basic package
@mymonkeysandmecraft made these super cute placenta studs! A perfect accessory for a placenta nerd
🤓 I did a happy dance that would put all happy dances to shame when I took this tremendous cord keepsake out of the dehydrator🤓
Tree of life indeed
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
I have just added this to my birth plan for my imaginary baby number 9! Home birth, water birth, siblings involved, birth photography, partially lotus birth, consume raw piece of placenta straight after birth, LICK BABYS HEAD CLEAN, crochet cord tie, cord burning, Encapsulate own placenta, oh if I knew back then what I know now
When your LadyHusband just…gets you ❤️❤️❤️ I love you so much beautiful woman thank you for being my life mate
Look @moggy1080 it’s us!!! 🤣🤣 i really want to do the thing that you told me to stop and think about🤣🤣 love you
Is there anything nicer than a wood fire on a cool evening
