As is well known, the fetus obtains nutrients through the placenta in the mother's body. Once the fetus develops and matures, it will be delivered, and the placenta seems to have little effect. Some mothers are very concerned about where their placenta has gone after giving birth and are curious about how to handle it. Is the placenta still useful for babies after birth?
The placenta, as a tissue organ that delivers nutrients to the fetus from the mother, completes its task after the fetus is successfully delivered. Moreover, the placenta loses its oxygen supply ability after normal delivery, so the placenta is useless after the fetus is born. Under normal circumstances, after delivery, the hospital will handle the placenta uniformly, and there is no need for the mother or family members to handle the placenta.
However, the hospital also seeks the opinions of family members. Some mothers believe that the placenta is the link between themselves and the fetus and do not want to leave it in the hospital. In this case, they can handle it themselves. If the mother is willing to take the placenta away, she can take it away for treatment. When taking away the placenta, protective measures should be taken to avoid carrying bacteria.
There is a saying in the folk that the nutritional value of the placenta is high, and some people with serious illnesses may improve their immunity by eating human placenta. Therefore, after the fetus is born, some mothers will bring the placenta back. In fact, the human placenta does not have magical effects and is not suitable for consumption. Don't blindly believe rumors.
