I have a girlfriend who brings her placentas home and plants them under a new tree. That is then the child's special tree to look after once they are older. It's kind of sweet.

There is a lot of research claiming otherwise. Not trying to persuade, it is just nice for those who might want to try. Animals not only eat it to hide from predators, but they also eat it to stay nourished and replace lost hormones until they feel well enough to eat or go hunting.
Research - Placenta Encapsulation
...After childbirth, a dramatic drop in hormones (estrogen and progesterone) in your body may contribute to postpartum depression. Other hormones produced by your thyroid gland also may drop sharply — which can leave you feeling tired, sluggish and depressed. Changes in your blood volume, blood pressure, immune system and metabolism can contribute to fatigue and mood swings...~Mayo clinicLast edited by fairyfrog; December 13th, 2012 at 07:01 PM.

This one is a little more humorous. The husband is more of the opinion of some of the ladies on here. Wish he would have done an update.
WARNING!!! Don't watch the video if you find placenta gross or are squeamish. Graphic! Shows lady washing the placenta.

This!
Let's break it down.
The only hormone it contains which *may* assist with PND is oxytocin, and this is what many people cite as the reason for placenta eating being a preventative measure for PND.
So lets look at the chemical structure of this hormone.
1. It cannot be absorbed through the digestive tract, so eating it will not make you body absorb it. It may be able to breach the blood brain barrier nasally, but even this is uncertain.
2. The molecular makeup up of it means that it is susceptible to heat, so once you have steamed it, or cooked it in the oven, you will have destroyed the hormone....therefore rendering it useless.
3. The lifespan of oxytocin is very short (minutes), ie its a hormone that is being constantly produced/excreted.
Therefore even if it *could* be absorbed through the digestive tract, you'd pretty much have to eat it straight out of womb, fresh and warm then and there as soon as its delivered, but remembering that it can't be absorbed in the digestive tract (only nasally) means your still not going to get any of it back into your system....even if there was some way of achieving nasal absorption (snorting?) it would only live minutes, so it's affect, if any would be momentary.
As for the iron levels, your average multivitamin would contain higher levels then an encapsulated portion of placenta.Mummy to DS10 who is the light of our world

Oh and I forgot to add that the average orgasm would release a higher dose and concentration of oxytocin then the residue oxytocin that would be found in the placenta.
Orgasm vs eating my placenta? I know what I'd choose!Mummy to DS10 who is the light of our world
