But, no no no, I will not ever ever ever eat something like a placenta. I'm already sick at the moment (naussea) cause I'm almost 9 weeks pregnant and reading this does not make me feel better ;)
While I have not yet consumed my placenta, I wouldn't write off it's benefits too quickly. 'Eating' it makes it sound like you sit down to a plateful, pour over a nice gravy and dig in. No wonder it elicits repulsion. I think encapsulating it would make it seem more clinical than cannibalistic. Hey, if it's been a nutrient rich, life supporting material to another human being, I can appreciate why some women are choosing not to waste it. Still, I'd have to do a mighty amount of research before I'd sign on personally. I'm just keeping an open mind, that's all.
Ah girls you all gave me a right giggle tonight reading your replies!! And no it's not something I would dish up either. Xx
:agree: - lol. I am not an animal!Quote:

Man, I think the idea of this makes the majority of us sick, no matter how far along we are!!
If you delivered at the hospital can you imagine explaining to the doc and nurses to save it..for you. OMG.
I have heard of some people taking it home and burying it in their garden and planting a tree on it so it grows with the new baby. I guess they just put it in the freezer for you till you leave the hospital.
yes you can ask to take it home but you would put in a cooler to keep it fresh:) I have burried 3 of mine but they were homebirths so didn't have to ask anybody:)Quote:
