🌳The incredible placenta.🌳
A temporary organ grown during pregnancy, the placenta forms alongside your baby and becomes their life support system for nine months.
It delivers oxygen and nutrients, removes waste products, produces essential hormones, and acts as a protective barrier between mother and baby.
Despite doing the work of several major organs the lungs, kidneys, digestive system and endocrine system it is created by the body just for pregnancy and is born shortly after the baby.
An extraordinary organ with an extraordinary purpose.
