Even though theyâre both latex, there are significant differences between our Talalay Latex and Dunlop Latex (Latex Light). Theyâre manufactured using different processes; it takes 14 hours to make a Talalay Latex mattress core, but less than one hour to make a Dunlop mattress core.
A retained placenta occurs when all or part of the placenta remains inside the uterus after child birth. Normally the placenta is delivered within minutes to an hour after child birth. For some women, the placenta doe not deliver naturally and must be physically removed.
The placenta produces two steroid hormones - oestrogen and progesterone. Progesterone acts to maintain pregnancy by supporting the lining of the uterus which provides the environment for the foetus and the placenta to grow. Progesterone prevents the shedding of this lining (similar to that which occurs at the end of a menstrual cycle), which would result in pregnancy loss.
