What is the placentas role?

The placenta provides your developing baby with a supply of blood, oxygen, and nutrients vital to a healthy baby! The placenta is fully developed by your 18th week of pregnancy. The placenta also carries waste including carbon dioxide away from your baby. The quality of function of your placenta is dependent upon how healthy you are, this is why it is important to keep your blood and oxygen as clean as possible especially during pregnancy (which is why you should not drink or smoke during pregnancy). The placenta keeps harmful materials away from your baby including infections but the body does not always recognize these harmful substances which is another reason you should not drink,smoke or take drugs during pregnancy.

YOu will find that your baby has tests to make sure his/her kidneys are working properly.
