Stat: 1/3: Placental-related disorders, such as miscarriage and pre-eclampsia, affect around a third of human pregnancies. Story: The placenta is a temporary yet vital organ that can have long-term effects on the lives of babies and mothers. But it's often discarded and remains an understudied part of pregnancy. In this episode of our “From Lab to Life” series, Geetu Tuteja describes how her lab at Iowa State University is working to better understand the placenta's functions and why placental disorders start. She also discusses how her background in genomics and computational biology informs the way she conducts her research.
Send us a textCynthia and Trisha are back with the March Q&A episode! This one kicks off with a fun discussion on things that our Instagram followers think people should know but don't—like how, when you say you're eating a kiwi, you're actually referring to either a kiwi bird or, worse, a person from New Zealand!In today's Q&A episode, we answer these questions:Do I need to schedule a cesarean at 40 weeks if I'm planning a VBAC? My OB says I do.How do I know when it's time to wean from breastfeeding, and how can I do it without feeling guilty?What are my options if my state says it's illegal to give birth at home after a previous cesarean?In the extended, ad-free version, available on Patreon and Apple subscriptions, we cover:My second birth was only 45 minutes long, and my baby was born in the car on the way to the hospital. How can I prevent or better prepare for a rapid birth with my third baby?Will dropping a pumping session with my eleven-week-old baby affect my milk supply?How long is too long to wait to deliver the placenta, and how can I help it come out more quickly?Finally, in the "quickies" segment, we touch on a variety of topics, including alternatives to Pitocin, botox while breastfeeding, swimming in public pools during the third trimester, finances & family planning, and dealing with the awkward situation of being told your baby can't attend a baby shower—and much more!Remember you can watch all our episodes now in full video format on the Down to Birth YouTube channel!

It is now more commonly known as puerperal sepsis or postpartum sepsis. This condition is an infection that occurs after childbirth. In the past, it was a major cause of maternal deaths related to childbirth, especially before modern hygiene practices and antibiotics became available. Global Situation Today: - Maternal sepsis remains a serious issue and is still a significant cause of maternal deaths around the world. - The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that maternal sepsis accounts for about 10% of all maternal deaths globally. It tends to be more common in areas where many births happen at home, there are not enough skilled healthcare workers, and healthcare systems are weak. Historical Background: During Wollstonecraft's time, doctors often worked in unhygienic environments and did not yet understand germs. Consequently, infections after childbirth were sadly common and often turned deadly. - Peer Reviewed Journal Articles on Placental Sepsis: Cambridge: ; AIMDR: ; Incidences of: -Trigger Warning: Details on MW's death:
Sarah & Charli talk about management of the placenta, called the third stage, and cutting the cord in a home birth. They get a little more into the nuance of what's happening naturally with the placenta after the birth of the baby and how clients and midwives can work together to help birth the placenta and, when the time is right, cut the umbilical cord. --- The Homebirth Midwife Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of midwifery, medicine, or other professional health care services.

Ultrasound assessment of placental volume has been proposed as an important aspect of prenatal care. It involves measuring the size and volume of the placenta, which may provide critical information regarding fetal health and development. Abnormal placental volume can be associated with various complications such as FGR, preeclampsia, and other pregnancy-related conditions. Some advocates suggests the volume and vascularity of the first trimester placenta may be linked to the most devasting adverse pregnancy outcomes which is stillbirth. Social Media posts have been advocating and endorsing the measurement of placental volume antenatally as a stillbirth prevention strategy. Is this evidence-based? It's very controversial. Nonetheless, we have principles from the AIUM. ISUOG, ACOG, and SMFM to guide us here. Listen in for details.

In this week's episode we discuss… Timolol maleate microdrops using the Nanodropper provided noninferior IOP reduction compared to conventional drops, with less impact on resting heart rate and blood pressure. Glaucoma progression was higher in cases of optic disc hemorrhage with proximal location (cup type). Large language models can generate high-quality patient education materials on childhood glaucoma and improve readability of existing resources to a 6th-grade level. Placental factors, including distal villous hypoplasia, severe acute chorioamnionitis, and funisitis, are associated with an increased risk of retinopathy of prematurity.

In episode 8 of the Birth Like a Mammal podcast, we explore the topic of placental calcification. This is a topic posed by the community for discussion as there is often many questions and confusion regarding how concerned we should be about a calcified placenta at the end of gestation. Lindsay discusses the connection between mammalian biology and human birth processes, shedding light on how modern obstetrics often overlooks this natural alignment, almost always leading to preventable complications. The focus is on informing parents and birth workers about the causes, risks, and preventive measures related to placental calcification, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle and dietary choices during pregnancy. Lindsay thoroughly examines factors contributing to placental calcification, such as smoking, hypertension, and excessive calcium intake, and offers practical advice for expecting parents to mitigate these risks. Through expert insights and personal anecdotes, this episode gives listeners the power and confidence to navigate their pregnancy and birth experiences with knowledge.Key Takeaways:Placental Calcification: characterized by excessive calcium phosphate mineral deposits in the placenta, somewhat affecting its functionality and potentially leading to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.Factors Contributing to Calcification: These include unhealthy lifestyle choices, such as smoking and poor diet, prenatal stress, excessive ultrasound exposure, and certain medications.Preventive Measures: Emphasizes the critical role of diet, stress management, and reducing exposure to environmental toxins and unnecessary medical interventions, before and, during pregnancy.Empowerment through Knowledge: Encourages parents to be well-informed about their pregnancy, questioning conventional obstetric practices that may not align with the natural process of mammalian birth.Community Support: Highlights the importance of community and shared experiences in navigating the challenges and uncertainties of pregnancy and birth.Quotes:"More than lifestyle choices, it's about understanding and respecting the natural process of birth as designed by our mammalian biology.""By addressing the root causes of complications like placental calcification, we can shift towards a more natural, less interventionist approach to childbirth."Questions?Looking for further support during pregnancy?Reach out at join@birthlikeamammal.com for birth support and other resources.

In this episode of Healthful Woman, Dr. Nathan Fox speaks with Dr. Andrei Rebarber regarding placental abruption. This uncommon yet serious pregnancy complication occurs when the placenta partly or totally separates from the inner wall of the uterus before delivery. This can decrease or block the baby's oxygen and nutrient supply, and cause heavy bleeding in the mother.
Get ready to be captivated. This week, we had the privilege of sitting down with the incredibly resilient Emily, a mother of five and soon -to-be six, who shared her riveting journey through pregnancy and birth. Emily's raw and honest recount of her first birth experience, a sudden placental abruption at 36 weeks leading to an emergency C-section, will leave you on the edge of your seat. But it's not just about the drama; Emily's story is a testament to her strength, a whirlwind of emotions, and the overwhelming relief of finally holding her newborn daughter.But Emily's story doesn't stop there. She also walked us through the struggles and anxieties that came postpartum. The emotional roller coaster of a NICU stay, the fear of not being able to bring her daughter home immediately, and the subsequent pregnancies and births that each came with their unique challenges. Emily talks about her desire to have a VBAC and the tranquil joy of welcoming each new life into her ever-growing family.As our candid conversation with Emily unfolds, you'll gain profound insights into her journey with multiple pregnancies, the mental and physical changes that come with each one, and the importance of seeking help. Emily openly shares her struggles with postpartum anxiety, the strength she found, and her trajectory towards a positive mindset.

Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE), a subset of neonatal encephalopathy, is the most common neurological condition in term born infants. It is known that a range of acute and chronic placental pathologies are more common in infants with HIE. However little is known about how differences in utero-placental function might contribute to varied outcomes in these infants.In this episode of Pediapod, we speak to Early Career Investigator Dr. Jeffrey Russ from Duke University Medical Center, who retrospectively analyzed whether acute versus chronic placental pathology were differentially associated with outcomes in patients with presumed HIE.Read the full study here: The association of placental pathology and neurodevelopmental outcomes in patients with neonatal encephalopathy | Pediatric Research (nature.com) Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Janine La Salle from UC Davis about her work on differential methylated regions in autism spectrum disorders. In our discussion, Janine LaSalle highlights her work on the placental epigenetic signature, which offers insights into the impact of fetal exposures and gene-environment interactions during the perinatal period. She emphasizes the placenta's value as a surrogate tissue for understanding human diseases. Her research on DNA methylation in the placenta across different mammalian species reveals consistent patterns in partially methylated and highly methylated domains. She explains the critical role of higher methylation levels in specific regions for gene expression and how this knowledge helps trace the placenta's developmental history. The conversation then delves into Dr. LaSalle's research on the link between placental DNA methylation and autism. Through epigenome-wide association studies, she discovered a novel autism gene and explored the effects of prenatal exposures on DNA methylation profiles. Additionally, she discusses the impact of maternal obesity on offspring neurodevelopment. Ultimately, the goal of her research is to contribute to precision public health and preventative healthcare with epigenetic signatures offering high potential for predicting and preventing future health problems.

I've been encapsulating placentas since 2015. A little back story… I started researching placenta encapsulation when I was first pregnant with my son in 2015, but it was hard to find someone in my area who did placenta encapsulation (at that time I lived in rural mid-missouri). Therefore, I researched how to do it myself, I checked out a few books, I read a million blogs (at least it feels like it), watched hours of video tutorials, etc. I bought all the needed supplies (empty capsules, pill/capsule press machine, nutrabullet, dehydrator, stainless steel pot, etc.) and once my son was born, I encapsulated his placenta right away and I was astounded by the effects. Throughout the next few weeks, I could literally tell a difference in my mood and energy level when I forgot to take the capsules. Then, I was hooked. I started telling every pregnant friend and family member about it! Since I was telling everyone about it… people started asking me to do it for them. So, I casually encapsulated placentas for a friends and family members over a few years, and then again for myself when my daughter was born in 2017. Since opening, I encapsulated over 400 placentas for so many lovely mamas from all walks of motherhood. Other than that, I'm a stay-at-home mom with four ‘littles' and a super supportive husband. I truly love anything to do with pregnancy, labor, birth, cloth diapering, baby wearing, houseplants, and of course placenta encapsulation. I'll be thrilled to work with you if you move forward with placenta encapsulation.
Young moms aren't usually seen as high risk, but 23-year-old Jerrika Latham experienced numerous complications throughout pregnancy that she suspects was due to her endometriosis. By 28 weeks, she started to dilate, went into labor at 32 weeks, and stopped it until she needed to be induced and then sent for an urgent C-section at 35 weeks. Her daughter will be 9 months on April 30th and is doing great given the circumstances surrounding her birth.In this episode she shares how she advocated for her herself and her baby, and wants all moms going through the birth process to know that it's okay to ask for help.Connect with Jerrika on Instagram: @jerrikaluna_Connect with Jerrika on TikTok: @jerry.babyc Support the showConnect with Lina on @linaforrestal on InstagramFollow the @newmamaspodcast on InstagramRead Lina's Blog: www.linaforrestal.comSupport the Show: Buy Me a Coffee (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/newmamaspodcast)
This episode subject was requested by Emily, one of our podcast family members. She has noticed the reporting of “large placental, venous lakes” on antepartum ultrasound. Placental lakes are enlarged spaces in the placenta filled with maternal blood. These spaces are also called intervillous spaces because they are found between the placental villi the finger-like projections of the placenta that contain fetal blood vessels . The placental villi float in the intervillous spaces and absorb oxygen and nutrients from the maternal blood. The blood-filled placental lakes appear nearly black on ultrasound because they do not reflect soundwaves back to the ultrasound machine. Placental lakes can be seen within the placenta or on the fetal surface of the placenta bulging into the amniotic cavity. Slow swirling blood flow may be seen within the spaces, and the shape of the spaces tends to change with uterine contractions. These features may help to distinguish a placental lake from a thrombus. Well, why is this even supposed to be an issue? How can venous lakes affect the fetus, after all…maternal blood is normally found in the intervilluous spaces between the chorionic villi which house the placental vessels for gas exchange. Well, the theory is that these large placental lakes may affect blood redistribution in the chorionic fetal vessels, leading to increased incidence of placental growth abnormalities or fetal distress in labor. Are these placental sono findings a harbinger of bad things to come or are they simply benign findings? Let's look at the data!
The placenta, a remarkable organ facilitating the vital exchange of nutrients and waste between mother and fetus, exhibits incredible diversity in its structure and composition. Beyond the conventional placental configurations, such as the discoid shape, several intriguing variations have been discovered. In this blog post, we embark on an enlightening journey to explore and understand four distinctive placental anomalies: circumvallate placenta, balltledore placenta, vasa previa, and accessory lobe placenta. Join us as we delve into these fascinating adaptations and uncover their implications for pregnancy and maternal-fetal health. Circumvallate Placenta: Unraveling the Ring of Mystique The circumvallate placenta, a captivating anomaly characterized by a raised ring around its periphery, captures our attention first. We delve into the etiology, prevalence, and potential complications associated with this unique placental variant. Additionally, we shed light on the diagnostic methods employed to identify circumvallate placenta and the impact it may have on fetal growth and maternal well-being. Balltledore Placenta: Peeling Back the Layers of Complexity Intriguing and enigmatic, the balltledore placenta exhibits an unusual lobed appearance, distinct from the typical discoid shape. We embark on an exploration of the developmental mechanisms underlying this fascinating variation. Moreover, we examine the potential ramifications of a balltledore placenta on maternal health, fetal growth, and the overall progress of pregnancy. Vasa Previa: Navigating the Precarious Pathways Vasa previa, a rare and potentially life-threatening condition, captures our attention next. We delve into the anatomy and pathophysiology of vasa previa, highlighting the presence of fetal blood vessels crossing the cervical os or lying in close proximity to it. Through an in-depth analysis, we emphasize the critical importance of early detection, prenatal monitoring, and timely intervention to mitigate the potential risks associated with vasa previa and safeguard the well-being of both mother and baby. Accessory Lobe Placenta: The Unseen Intruder Our exploration of placental anomalies concludes with a closer look at the accessory lobe placenta. Often concealed and unnoticed, this variant manifests as an additional lobe attached to the main placental mass. We unravel the diagnostic challenges associated with identifying accessory lobe placenta and shed light on its implications for maternal health and fetal development. Furthermore, we explore the potential obstetric complications and management strategies that healthcare providers employ to ensure optimal outcomes in pregnancies affected by this hidden intruder. Placental lakes, intriguing pools of blood within the placenta, form an enigmatic feature worthy of exploration. These fluid-filled spaces, ranging in size and distribution, arise from the branching and coalescence of maternal blood vessels within the placental tissue. Placental lakes often appear as dark, irregularly shaped areas on ultrasound scans, and their presence can indicate underlying placental abnormalities or complications. While small placental lakes are usually considered normal and benign, larger or extensive placental lakes may raise concerns regarding impaired placental function and potential risks to fetal health. In-depth monitoring and evaluation are crucial when placental lakes are detected, as they can serve as indicators of underlying conditions that require appropriate management to ensure a successful pregnancy outcome. Placental anomalies, such as circumvallate placenta, balltledore placenta, vasa previa, and accessory lobe placenta, serve as captivating reminders of the incredible intricacy and adaptability of the human body. As we uncover the mysteries surrounding these unique variations, it becomes evident that each holds profound implications for pregnancy, childbirth, and maternal-fetal health. By increasing awareness and understanding, we empower healthcare professionals and expectant parents to navigate these distinctive scenarios with confidence, ensuring the best possible outcomes for all involved.

In this episode we talk with Emily Chandler and Taylor Washburn, EBB Childbirth Class graduates about their experiences in the childbirth class; their informed and empowered hospital birth; and how they navigated an extended hospital stay for newborn jaundice. Emily, is a marine scientist, and Taylor, is a teacher and rowing coach in the Boston area. Together, they love hiking, biking, rowing, and taking advantage of the great outdoors. And they're also very busy taking care of their baby. While pregnant, Emily dove headfirst into learning about pregnancy, birth, and the state of maternity care in the United States. Emily and Taylor took the Evidence Based Birth Childbirth Class with EBB instructor Chanté Perryman. Emily and Taylor share their experiences in the EBB Childbirth Class and how that informed many of the decisions they made regarding their birth plan, including Taylor being both inspired and empowered to “catch” their baby. They also share how they used the advocacy skills learned in class to better communicate with their providers and each other. After experiencing the birth they desired, complications arose when Emily experienced difficulty breastfeeding and inadequate lactation support. Difficulty was further exasperated when their newborn was diagnosed with jaundice leading to an extended hospital stay.

Meghan Murray and her husband decided to have one more baby. She'd already experienced beautiful vaginal births with her first two boys and, like so many women, she mentally went through all the things she could do this time around to get things just right. In preparing for her dream birth, Meghan hired new midwives who practiced outside of a hospital setting and seemed perfectly aligned with her wishes. She remained fit, practiced Spinning Babies and learned relaxation techniques for a comfortable physiologic birth. She savored her pregnancy knowing it was her last, and excitedly planned her first water birth. At 36 weeks, Meghan suddenly heard a pop and assumed her membranes had released. But instead of amniotic fluid, she saw blood -- and lots of it. As she and her husband left immediately for the hospital, Meghan knew a placental abruption had occurred.Meghan is more than a year out from her birth, and talks to us about her journey of processing what happened. In particular, what it was like having a very traumatic birth her last time around, when her hopes and expectations were at their highest.

Liz talks about the joy of finding out that she was pregnant. How the pregnancy was a "perfect" pregnancy. The horror of having to go to the hospital to find out that Aaliyah had pass. Liz talks about what she has done to advocate for more education in the medical field and more awareness about stillbirth in the community.

Today on the show, I'm talking with my friend, Sylvie. Sylvie's first birth with medical midwives left her unpacking the dynamic for months, and questioning her capacity as a mother. Supported by The Free Birth Society Community Membership, she committed to her own healing. Sylvie joyfully welcomed in a wild pregnancy and freebirth with her second baby. In this episode, we discuss physiological placental birth, intuition, and how birth has the capacity to leave us feeling deeply renewed and reborn.
