What Is a Placenta? - DIY Placenta Tour

The Earthbound Parenting Podcast and DIY Birth dive into everything pregnancy, birth, postpartum, partnership, and parenting—with an emphasis on taking radical responsibility at every step.

Ever wondered what the placenta actually looks like and how it works? In this DIY Placenta Tour, we walk through placenta anatomy and physiology, and how placental transfusion supports your baby after birth. Learn about variations like velamentous cord insertion and bilobed placenta, plus the powerful role this temporary organ plays in pregnancy, birth, and newborn transition.
