How is placental abruption diagnosed?
Diagnosis of placental abruption relies heavily on the patient's report of her symptoms and a physical examination performed by a health care provider.
Why would you eat your babys placenta that's absolutely nasty?
The placenta is packed with many important nutrients that are beneficial for you after giving birth, as that is a time of great change for your body. Also, if you are breastfeeding, it is important to put many of the nutrients that you may have lost during birth back in your body.
There are different ways to "eat" it... I have heard of it being dried out and processed into a powder and then eaten with milkshakes. Another option is to have the placenta dried, powdered, and put into capsules and take them like vitamin supplements.
Really, it's not that nasty. It is something your body made, and something that helped sustain your baby. It is totally natural and totally unique and yours. And the nutritious benefits are significant for postpartum women.

Do sextuplets share a placenta?
Only identical (monozygotic) multiples share a placenta (and not all of those). If two or more of the sextuplets are monozygotic, those may share a placenta, with their fraternal siblings having their own. If by some astronomical odds a monozygotic - sextuplet pregnancy was possible I cannot imagine the pregnancy surviving long enough to deliver viable babies with only one placenta supplying all their needs - in addition the risk of cord accidents would be extremely high.
Describe how the placenta chorionic villi and allantois are functionally and structurally related?
. All three structures are involved in the transfer of
nutrients and waste products between the fetus and
mother. Blood vessels originating from the allantois
(one of the four embryonic membranes) extend into
the chorionic villi. The combination of the chorionic
villi and the portions of the uterine lining into which
they extend is called the placenta.
How do you pass a methamphetamine umbilical cord test?
don't use meth. other than that you better pray to god none are done because you're busted. but look at it this way if you are using during pregnancy you should seek help for your addiction and now you can get that help for free from your states child protective servises. I didn't use meth, I took a ritalin tablet in May 2013 that was prescribed for my 6 year old because I wanted to see the effect it would have on him. In retrospect, I realize what a stupid thing it was to do. My labor with my new baby girl set in very quickly & by the time my mom got to my home to take care of the boys, it was too late to get to the hospital. So with the help of 911, my mom delivered my precious girl on 09/08/13. Because of the home birth,the cord blood was tested several hours later. It came back positive for meth, however,my baby did NOT test positive. I'm looking for causes of this FALSE positive. She's a healthy, happy, content baby who sleeps great, she's gained a pound & grown 1 1/2 inches already. This is my 4th, & last, child & I would never do anything to knowingly endanger my children. This was a momnetaary lapse in judgement, but I certainly was not tyring to get "high".
