  Chapter 3. Sympathetic Magic Page 12
The mother buries the afterbirth at the root of a plantain tree, which then becomes sacred until the fruit has ripened, when it is plucked to furnish a sacred feast for the family.
Thus in many parts of the world the navel-string, or more commonly the afterbirth, is regarded as a living being, the brother or sister of the infant, or as the material object in which the guardian spirit of the child or part of its soul resides.
Thus the beliefs and usages concerned with the afterbirth or placenta, and to a less extent with the navel-string, present a remarkable parallel to the widespread doctrine of the transferable or external soul and the customs founded on it.

The afterbirth consists primarily of a placenta, connected to the fetus by an umbilicus, and also includes amnionic and chorionic membranes and a large quantity of fluid.
The Shilliuk, apparently practicing symbolic ingestion of the afterbirth, buried the placenta at the roots of a fruit tree, then during the next season ritualistically ate the fruit or drank tea brewed from the fruit.
Certainly, the intense attraction to the afterbirth manifested by mothers during delivery can not he predicted from the behavior of virgins toward the sub stances, since, at least in rodents, the majority of virgins not only do not eat placenta, but behave as if it were strongly aversive.

 Afterbirth definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
Afterbirth: The placenta + the fetal membranes that are normally expelled from the uterus after the birth of the baby.
Hence, the "afterbirth." The placenta is of course the organ that joins the mother and fetus and permits the provision of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus and the release of carbon dioxide and waste products from the fetus to the mother.
As humanity only disposable organ, the placenta is disk-shaped and at full term measures about 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter and a bit less than 2 inches (4 cm) thick.

 Ingestion of afterbirth appears to promote maternal behavior in mammals
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A behavioral neuroscientist at the University at Buffalo holds that the ingestion of afterbirth by a mother, a feature of pregnancy in nearly all non-human mammals, not only relieves postpartum pain, but optimizes the onset of maternal behavior by mediating the activity of specific opioid activity circuits in the brain.
POEF is found in amniotic fluid and afterbirth.
The new study, whose subjects will be mice, will test the hypothesis that it not only modulates pain, but operates on two specific brain centers to influence the subsequent emergence of maternal behavior.

 Placenta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This results in increased transfer of these nutrients to the fetus and is also the main cause of the increased blood sugar levels seen in pregnancy.
When the fetus is delivered, the placenta is delivered afterwards (and for this reason is often called the afterbirth).
After delivery of the placenta the umbilical cord is usually clamped and severed or may be left attached to fall off naturally which is referred to as a Lotus Birth.

 Skeletons: Life and the Afterbirth: Pitchfork Record Review
It's a mysterious package, this album: Just a fl envelope with a red profile of a revolver glued to the front, slid into a clear plastic outer casing that contains a card listing only the artist and album title in a simple courier font.
The strings finally force their way back into the picture and the song rides out on fuzz-addled guitar and bass, closing with a meditative guitar ostinato.
For its breathtaking peaks, though, Life and the Afterbirth has a few unfortunate holes, most notably tracks 6 and 8, the former being a low, ambient hum and the latter a far too deep forest of fluttering static and bell tones.

 The Stage | Reviews | Afterbirth
That a paedophile can be played as a troubled soul and one who indeed is likeable and a father figure who clearly feels some kind of paternal love for the child whom he has been abusing, is a brave move that shows Moriarty’s (and writer Dave Florez’s) understanding of the human condition.
Surprisingly, from such an experienced director - Deborah Paige is former artistic director at Sheffield’s Crucible - the stage is not always used to its best advantage, with many scenes played in the aisles where they can only be seen by a minority of the audience.
That aside, Afterbirth is an extraordinarily powerful play by a new writer with an extraordinarily strong and original voice.

BabyNature's AfterBirth Drops are formulated with four natural, herbal ingredients chosen for their ability to re-energize, speed up delivery of the placenta and begin the process of recovery after childbirth.
AfterBirth Drops are also wonderful for promoting production of breast-milk and calming and enhancing mood.
The excitement of holding the new baby often eases women through the delivery of the placenta, although many find that they are tired out by the time the baby has been born and find it difficult to summon up the energy to deliver the placenta.

Eating the afterbirth is a natural process and must not be discouraged because the afterbirth serves as a valuable source of nutrients for the cow.
Where cows do not eat the afterbirth or leave pieces of it behind, these should ideally be buried to prevent the spread of disease.
If long pieces of afterbirth are hanging out and are in danger of being trampled on by the cow, the pieces hanging down can be cut off at the level of the hocks.
