Placenta

-A dream while I was pregnant in 2022

“I am in the country, and laying on the ground. My baby has been delivered, but I am waiting for my placenta to emerge. There is a midwives office near by; it is an old wooden building with an old sign. I do not need them to help me, although there is pressure to.”

In the recent birth of my daughter I made up an unbearably strong brew of red raspberry leaf infusion for keeping my uterus strong. I made an infusion for the birth of my second son in 2017, freezing it into ice cubes and sucking and chewing them during labor. If you refer to Susun Weed’s book ” The Childbearing Years” pg. 69, she says, “Use Raspberry infusion to help facilitate placenta delivery. Chips of frozen raspberry leaf infusion sucked throughout labor help keep the uterus working strongly and smoothly“.

Ten or so minutes after I delivered my daughter in my hands the nurse midwife was feeling an urgency for the placenta to be delivered. She took the cord into her hands and said that she might have to pull it out. Right then I had a contraction, and the placenta emerged.
