RE: Why Every Woman Deserves to Give Birth At Home

in #birth7 years ago

It was pretty crazy cutting the cord 😮 It was really thick and meaty and it just feels wrong holding a sharp thing to a baby... The midwife asked me if I wanted to cut it and I was like 😅 “oh yeah” lol... But yeah it was all natural and she’s eating her placenta in capsule form to get all the nutrients and hormones out of there while her pituitary gland gets started up again. Thanks so much @matkodurko!

Haha man I dunno anything about this :D I just read once it's healthy..that being sad..who's eating it? :D Mum or Anjel?:D Ignorant question but I really don't know haha :D

The placenta is dried up and then put into capsules so the mother can eat them :D don’t worry, I thought it was very strange at first also. It’s dried out, so it’s not necessarily the blood she’s eating, it’s the tissue I think.

So basically during the pregnancy, the brain stops producing hormones in the mother, and instead, the placenta makes the hormones during the pregnancy. So once the baby and placenta come out, the mothers hormone levels start to crash lower and lower, and the placenta pills are there to help keep the hormone levels balanced so it’s not a huge shock to the system.
