In episode 8 of the Birth Like a Mammal podcast, we explore the topic of placental calcification. This is a topic posed by the community for discussion as there is often many questions and confusion regarding how concerned we should be about a calcified placenta at the end of gestation. Lindsay discusses the connection between mammalian biology and human birth processes, shedding light on how modern obstetrics often overlooks this natural alignment, almost always leading to preventable complications.
The focus is on informing parents and birth workers about the causes, risks, and preventive measures related to placental calcification, emphasizing the importance of a healthy lifestyle and dietary choices during pregnancy. Lindsay thoroughly examines factors contributing to placental calcification, such as smoking, hypertension, and excessive calcium intake, and offers practical advice for expecting parents to mitigate these risks.
