Across nearly every Indigenous culture around the world, the placenta has been considered sacred, powerful, and deeply connected to the child’s soul, the Earth, and the spiritual world. NOT waste

Modern Western obstetrics often treats the placenta as medical waste, unless it’s being sent to pathology, pharmaceuticals, or biotech.

It’s routinely yanked out, discarded, and disrespected even though it’s the literal organ that kept the baby alive.

Indigenous people did not treat the placenta as waste.

Western medicine did.

And that mindset, the one that views powerful parts of birth as disposable, is deeply colonial.

Things you can do with your placenta:

🧶 Bury it
• Often done with ceremony or intention (under a tree, with a blessing, or near home).
• Common in Indigenous cultures worldwide to symbolize connection to land and ancestry.
🧶. Honor it with ritual
• Paint with it (placenta prints), offer prayers, include in naming ceremonies, etc.
🧶. Keep it with the baby (Lotus birth)
• Allowing the umbilical cord and placenta to remain attached until it naturally detaches (typically 3–10 days).
🧶Placenta prints
• Using blood or paint to make a “tree of life” imprint on paper.
🧶Preserve the cord
• Dried and shaped into a heart, spiral, or word like “love.” A keepsake of connection.
🧶Dry and encapsulate it
• Steamed or raw-prepared capsules consumed postpartum (believed by some to aid recovery, mood, and milk supply).
🧶Make a tincture
• Alcohol-based extract for long-term emotional or hormonal support.
🧶Turn it into jewelry
• Using dehydrated, powdered placenta in resin to make beads, pendants, or rings.
🧶Plant it under a tree or in a garden
• Fertilizes the earth and marks the child’s life with growth and rootedness.
🧶Compost it
• If burial isn’t an option, composting returns its nutrients to the soil.
🧶Examine or photograph it
• Some people keep it short-term to study its structure, appreciate its form, or teach others about placental function.

❓Cervical Dilation: Why Does It Happen?

It’s your body’s way of preparing for birth

The cervix softens, shortens, and opens

Dilation lets baby pass through the birth canal

Happens gradually—from 0 to 10 cm

10 cm = fully dilated = time to push! 💪👶

Your body knows exactly what to do. Trust it. 💛
