Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for women to be impacted by either postnatal depression (10-37% of pregnancies) or the more common: postnatal anxiety (27-54% of pregnancies). The good news is that awareness and our understanding of these issues is growing. However, it remains a complicated issue. Some research has…
Chances are you know what the placenta is. The crucial organ providing nutrients and survival for a growing baby. However, new research is revealing there is MUCH more to this crucial organ’s role.
