True! Well in most normal circumstances anyway. One of the placenta's jobs is to make sure blood from the mother and fetus never mixes. The placenta acts as an exchange surface between the mother and the fetus. Nutrients and oxygen are passed over by diffusion only. If the mother's and fetus's blood mixed, it could have a negative impact on them both if the blood types are different. . . . . . . . . . #empowermentthrougheducation #doulagem #pregnant #empoweringmoms #midwifemarley #prentatal #birtheducation #pregnant #birthisbirth #kfollowers #maternalhealth #icpawareness #medical #mfm #placenta #doula #doctor #birth #icpcare #bloodtransfusion #blood #support #motherhood #mindfulness #cholestasis #birth #antid #educate #safebirth
