"The placenta is our second mother. It is Mother Nature nurturing us with her perfection" - Marjan de Jong, a mother in Holland

What is the placenta??

What a miracle organ the placenta is. It knows when there is a need for iron, signals the mothers body to provide more iron in the blood, chooses the element of iron from the mother's blood and knows how to use it for the baby. It is created at implantation of fertilized egg into the uterus. It transfers nutrients and oxygen to the baby while transferring the waste from the baby back to the mother, allowing her body to process it appropriately.
