 | | A mortar and pestle can be used or a hand grinder. | | | While it is difficult to say that the placenta is responsible, there are physiological reasons that may be at work. | | | Raven Lang, a midwife who studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, advises the use of placenta during the postpartum course to aid in recovery from childbirth. |

| | Placenta (open learning) |
| | The placenta is an essential part of that relationship, lying as it does at the interface between mother and baby. | | | In some cultures, it is believed that the placenta has an emotional or spiritual affinity with the baby, and must therefore be disposed of in a suitable way. | | | Over the years, we have moved from the view that the baby is essentially a sophisticated parasite growing within the mother at some considerable expense to her, towards a view of pregnancy as a co-operative process, with both partners in constant communication with each other to harmonise their needs. |

| | A placenta previa of any form means complications that are usually far greater for the baby than for the mother. | | | Most importantly, treatment for a placenta previa safeguards the baby from an early birth. | | | A complete placenta previa carries the most risk and poorest outcome. |
