✨ The Placenta: The Unsung Hero of Pregnancy ✨
At Whispering Lotus, we honor every part of the birth journey — including the incredible placenta, your baby’s first lifeline. 💫
Throughout pregnancy, the placenta works around the clock — delivering oxygen and nutrients, removing waste, and producing essential hormones that help your baby grow and thrive. 🌿 It’s truly a miraculous organ that connects two hearts in one rhythm. ❤️
After birth, we practice delayed cord clamping, allowing the baby to continue receiving oxygen-rich blood and vital stem cells for several minutes while transitioning gently to life outside the womb. This supports stronger iron stores and smoother adaptation for your little one. 🌸
We also believe in physiologic (natural) third stage management, allowing the placenta to birth in its own time — without unnecessary interventions — guided by the body’s innate wisdom and your midwife’s calm, skilled support. 🌺
Every birth is sacred, and at Whispering Lotus, we trust the process, the physiology, and the power of nature. 🌙
