I use to be grossed by it. Today I am totally in Love! And I have my humble respect 🙏 💗 It’s so beautiful🌹, so amazing💝, magical✨, important💪, natural🌳... It truly is a tree of life! I wish 🧙‍♀️every mom 🤱🏻would get her natural, normal by standard, totally acceptable postpartum gift 🎁 -> a jar of encapsulated placenta. Because... when I finally, with my last child, tested the theory about the effects... it totally blew my mind! It gave me much much more from what I expected or knew. It was for the first time I actually was able to enjoy my postpartum time, my time with a newborn, with a baby. All thanks to encapsulated placenta. Priceless!!!! 😍🤩🤟 #willmafied #magic #postpartum #placenta #baby #newborn #placentaencapsulation #respect #natural #normal #Repost @bodywise_birthwise with @get_repost ・・・ ✨✨✨ After the birth of the baby the placenta continues to function for a short while. The blood may take up to 2 hours to stop flowing through the umbilical cord, which will then collapse. Our ancestors believed that a part of a child’s soul stays with the placenta. Even after the placenta was born it performed it’s function as a root, as thallas (Greek for storage) and as fertile soil. This is why it was never to be taken to far away from the child. The tree planted on top of it had to be in the immediate vicinity of the house. ✨✨✨ . .

PLACENTA MAGIC. look hard at this gorgeous photo by @elliana_allon AND think hard about the mindblowing truth shared by midwife @laughing.moon ::: “Lets talk about OCC or Optimal Cord Clamping (often referred to as delayed cord clamping.) There are dozens and dozens of benefits but right now, I want to shine the spot light on just one. Just ☝🏼 tiny but absolutely life changing bit of info. So ya know about stem cells right? Like, that super shiny, well advertised meaning behind Cord Blood Banking. Save those stem for the future cause your kid may get a rare illness and could possibly be saved with the stem cells harvested from their plump, pulsating umbilical cord. Okay, so let that sink in. Umbilical cord stem cells are all the rage in science right now. They are being used to intravenously rejuvenate old, failing bodies. Even Mel Gibson took his 80-some year old father in who had failing vision and hearing and was wheel-chair bound to receive this miracle, fountain of youth medicine. His papa began walking and almost had 20/20 vision shortly after the miracle trip to receive these umbilical cord stem cells. Do you know the purpose of stem cells? They are the repairers, the makers. If it’s hurt or broke or sick, stem cells can become ANYTHING the body needs. They can become nerves, skin tissue, muscle. Now let’s think about birth. A tiny fragile being with a skull that features overlapping bones passing through the tiny bony pelvis of its mother. No matter how physiological the birth may go, there is inherit risk of birth trauma due to the actual physiological factors of human birth. Those umbilical cord stem cells are suppose to go to the newly born baby. They are suppose to be free flowing from the placenta to the baby. They are suppose to be in large quantities to move throughout the entire body looking for any areas that may need repair, or healing, or a boost. That is their PURPOSE. Imagine, imagine if we actually really researched Optimal Cord Clamping. Just imagine.” ❣️ ##BLOODMAGIC #optimalcordclamping #delayedcordclamping #stemcell #umbilicalcord #doulalife #iamdoula

Do you want your baby to keep 66% of or 100% of their blood at birth? 👣 That may seem like a no-brainer, but after a baby is born it's common for their umbilical cord to be immediately cut. 🚼 Did you know that 1/3 of your baby's necessary blood is still circulating through the cord to the placenta at that time? It only takes a few minutes for the blood to return into baby's body. You can tell by looking at the color of the umbilical cord: When there's blood still flowing through it, the cord is dark and plump. Once that transfer is complete, the cord becomes white and limp. Don't watch the clock, watch the cord. 👍 WAIT FOR WHITE. ⌛ • • • #optimalcordclamping #delayedcordclamping #waitforwhite #bestforbaby #birthisbeautiful #birthinginstincts #healthybaby #cutthecord #newborn #newdad #newmom #birth #pregnancy (at Doula Heidi Duncan - Expecting New Life Birth Services)
