Placentas are a vital part of the pregnancy and birthing process and those involved in the pregnancy process should have the proper tools to educate people about it. The placenta makes a great anatomical model for birthing classes or as an addition to a midwife, doula, or doctor’s educational toolkit. Whether you are making one for yourself or for someone else you’ll love the finished product you come up with!
