eating your own

Placenta. Would you do it. Its becoming more and more popular. There's even a cook book on ways to prepare it. They say it helps with ppd and lactation and post birth healing. But i think i will pass on eating it. Dogs eat there's but i would not eat something that has been inside of me keeping my baby alive for 9 month's. What about you???

Its def not for me!!! When my dog had puppies the vet told me to try and not let her eat the afterbirth, it could cause infection. I don't think there is any way i'd be able to do it.

People in japan dehydrate it and season it with herbs!!!! Ewwwww.

I don't know why but I am extremely amused that you put this post in the food category.

Ahh, no way!! After I delivered my placenta my doctor showed it to my husband and me. He was pretty much giving us a lesson on it. This was my third baby and I never saw my other ones up.close like this. It was amazing...but also soooo gross! Lol I cant believe people eat it!!

feb2012mommy

I think its funny that somebody would eat it. Blah

Lets have a placenta eating party. Everybody bring your owndish. Lol

I possibly could do it, I can stomach some of the nastiest things you see and hear and read about lol and I have eaten some pretty disgusting things. I have thought about taking it home with me and planting a tree of some sort over top of it. But I don't think I could convince John to kiss me for a year at least after I did it! we already talked about it in detail LOL.


But my question is... Wouldn't it be slightly considered cannibalism??? Considering, its basically a part of the human body and what not?

I am donating my placenta to my doula who is learning how to do placenta encapsulation I won't be eating the pills she makes but she is just using it to learn how to do it correctly and safely. she is giving me a discount on her services because I am donating it. and it helps her out with learning something she is very interested in, so it's a win-win situation.

Oh lord no! I can't eat basic foods. No way I could eat my placenta. And that Teddy bear is terrifying!
