Keypoints:
- The placenta is an essential organ that helps the baby grow inside the uterus.
- It can take on various shapes, but it's typically round and about the size of a dinner plate when a woman is full-term pregnant.
- The placenta is a disposable organ, meant to be discarded after birth, and it connects to the wall of the uterus, transferring nutrients and waste between the mother and baby.
- It is responsible for producing hormones that support the pregnancy and trigger changes in the mother's body, such as breast development and adjustments in heart, kidney, and blood vessels.
- The placenta plays a vital role in ensuring an optimal environment for the baby's development, including regulating the mother's immune response to prevent rejection of the baby.
- At birth, the average placenta weighs about a pound, and it is significantly larger than the baby during early pregnancy to support the baby's growth.
- Stem cells from the baby can cross the placenta and target sites where the mother has had injuries, potentially aiding in her healing even years later.
- Exploring the placenta post-delivery can offer a fascinating insight into its function and structure, as well as its ability to sustain the baby for nine months.
- Encouragement for mothers to ask their healthcare provider for a peek at the placenta to understand its role and significance in pregnancy and childbirth.
- Upcoming podcast episodes will discuss secret mom hacks and the topic of giving birth on your back.
