Ask a Mum who ate her Placenta - Page 3

Vicks · Mar 14th, 2010, 03:27 AM

Now this thread title definitely caught my attention! I've heard of this, but don't know any other information about it....I'd really like to know what the other girls have asked, why and also what it tasted like?

Did you research it alot before you decided to do this? I'm not sure if thats a silly question, but just wondered about it, as I don't even remember talk of the placenta when Joe was born, but he was born by c-section.

amazingly interesting, i would like to know if you knew if you always wanted to eat it? or was it a late decision, and what made you make that decision, did your partner eat it too?

There was once a woman on Come Dine With Me who had her placenta in her freezer

I can see the interest to be honest. I wouldn't eat it myself but I was desperate to see it - it'd been keeping my baby alive for months! The thought of it just being binned makes me a little

This definately caught my attention lol

Same questions as everyone else plus was it difficult to eat it? Sort of did you find yourself thinking I can't do this or anything?

i think (it may have been someone elses...) but i read a home birth story that went amazingly & she ground hers into pills too...i cant remember if i found it on B&B or not though!

BUT are there any medical implications to this? Is it dangerous at all - for example, not cooking correctly etc. I imagine it carries some risk?

i encapsulated it, this envolves steaming the placenta with spices, and then a long process of cutting it into thin strips and drying it out in the oven on a very low heat. i then went on to grind it up and put it into empty capsuals.
