S1E4 Birth Untethered - Physiology After Birth; Skin to Skin, Breastfeeding Placentas, Cords and Blood

In this episode, Shellie and Kemi discuss the physiology of the immediate time after birth, the benefits of skin to skin and breastfeeding, protecting the birthing dyad in these precious and vitally important moments. We talk about placentas, umbilical cords and blood in both mothers and babies. What causes haemorrhage, what can we do naturally to help prevent it, manage if it does happen. We explore medical lack of logic in determining what a haemorrhage is in and out of the birth space, how keeping cords intact saves babies lives and promotes their long term health.If you would like to explore the further resources that we have available for deeper learning, join us over on patreon.https://www.patreon.com/c/birthuntethered/membershiphttps://www.patreon.com/c/birthuntethered/membership
