Your placenta is your organ, created by your body and contains your natural hormones. With up to 80% of women experiencing a postnatal mood disorder, many women believe that reintroducing your bodies own estrogen, progesterone and testosterone back into your body within 11 days of delivery helps aid in avoiding “baby blues” and postpartum depression. Symptoms of baby blues include weepiness, moodiness, anxiety and fear. Such a high number of women experience these symptoms after birth it is not even considered a true illness.
