EP 53\ The Placenta: Another Evidence Of God’s Abiding Love For Us! Managing The Third Stage Of Labor God’s Way

YOUR BIRTH, GOD’S WAY - Christian Pregnancy, Natural Birth, Postpartum, Breastfeeding Help

SHOW NOTES The placenta is an amazing organ that God creates in us at the beginning of a new pregnancy and gets rid of immediately after the baby is born. It is the lifeline for the baby and performs a plethora of functions to support the baby's life while in utero. Today we're going to talk about how the placenta forms, what the placenta does, and how to best manage the delivery of the placenta after birth. The medical model thinks that everything about birth needs to be managed because they consider it an inherently dangerous process, but God shows us very differently. In this episode we'll dig in to the beauty of the placenta. Resources:
