Anyone going to eat their Placenta ????
I saw a lady talking about this in the chit chat lounge and she shared this link:
How to eat your placenta - BabyCenter
She said it helped her avoid postpartum depression.
Has anyone ever eaten their placenta or is anyone intending to ?
I really dont think i could - just looking through that article made me feel sick but it sure does seem to have some benefits !!Mummy to 3 gorgeous Boys and FINALLY our baby Girl

Most certainly not!
The human body really is a magnificent machine, if it NEEDED the placenta, then it would not be expelled, it would be re-absorbed by the body.
The body expels what it doesn't need, everything that is biologically considered waste, our body expels.....urine, faeces, uterine lining monthly, phlegm, etc etc.
With the biological makeup of mammals, it does not make sense that the body would expel something that it needs, or that is of any help, to me, eating placenta would fall into the same bracket as drinking my monthly period, or munching on my poo.Mummy to DS10 who is the light of our world

And yes I know some mammals eat there placenta, but most mammals, especially in the wild, will instinctively eat anything that's remotely edible because they never know where they get their next meal from.

oh gosh I feel a littl blagh thinking about that, Ive heard you can get tablets made of it (not sure if thats right or not) but no I think Lassie summed it up perfectly for me, if I was meant to have it then surely the body would make a way of reabsorbing it rather then expelling.

Er I was thinking of a lotus birth but my husband wasn't on board! Eating it is a hard for me to swallow. I know many cultures still consume it though. Each to there own!
Hoping for a pink rainbow!

Yes, I ate it to prevent PPD. It was a great success. I will eat it again with my next birth.
The body expels what it doesn't need, everything that is biologically considered waste, our body expels.....urine, faeces, uterine lining monthly, phlegm, etc etc.
Some have it dehydrated ground up and put in capsules. In Japan you can actually by it at the local food mart/drugstore.
I personally cut mine into 7 pieces and blended (vita-mix is awesome for this) it with a strawberry smoothie once a day for 7 days. No taste or after taste. It tasted like strawberry smoothie. I did this with my fifth child after having severe PPD with my other 4. I was willing to try anything! I did it and My baby and I avoided PPD and the side affects of antidepressants!
