Bipartite (or tripartite) placenta image?

[tree_hugger]

Does anyone know where I can find a photograph of a bipartite placenta? I am studying the birth doula course from CBI and their student website doesn't have one, but I am really curious to see what one looks like!

I'm not having any luck googling.



PS I feel a bit weird now, being interested in placentas!

here is one site with pictures, illustrations and ultrasound pictures as well as descriptions - Succenturiate & bilobate placenta

Is there another name for bipartite placenta? I've found this website (placental pathology) pretty useful with my studies but I didn't find the term bipartite. Hope this helps.
