Dear Anja! I appreciate your comments and questions. Indeed, we are planning to work with placentas from healthy uncomplicated pregnancies. This includes that women do not take medication during pregnancy. Nonetheless, there cannot be a guarantee for complete abstinence because data will be based on the self-report of the women. Anyway, minor medication will not disturb the main goal of the study which is the comparison of bioactive hormones in the fresh placenta and its preparations.
