Join Measure the Placenta
June 1st for placenta health awareness and appreciation

Measure the Placenta declares June 1st to be Placenta Health Awareness Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about the vital role of the placenta in healthy pregnancies and stillbirth prevention.

June 1 (6/1) reflects the ideal fetal–placental weight ratio of 6:1 at term, a simple but powerful reminder of the placenta’s critical role in fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes.
