At Stork Helpers, we spend a good amount of time talking about the power of the placenta and the health benefits it provides both before and after labor. Why? Because it is powerful!
The placenta is the organ responsible for the transfer of nutrients and oxygen to your baby during pregnancy. Additionally, after birth, the placenta can be processed and consumed to reduce the negative impact of postpartum depression and help make milk production easier for mama.
The placenta is home to many astounding substances made for giving a body a boost.
This is no surprise considering that the placenta is a key organ in the development of a newborn baby.
