as a piece of engineering, it is an amazing organ. but im afraid i wont be eating or keeping mine. if the hospital want to use it for research purposes they are very welcome to it. there are some things that just dont go in my mouth, this included.

Sorry, no offense to anyone but......



I'm usually very liberal about most things, but the thought of touching this (let alone eating it) grosses me right out!

yeah......i usually can stomach about anything. i'm a nurse and nothing really gets to me. but the thought of this...errggh...

and i know there's supposed to be good reasons to do so, but i wouldn't use the excuse that "animals do it" because they also eat feces, breed with their siblings, drink urine, etc etc....ick...

not to offend anyone!! just my opinion!!

The thought of eating it as in having steaks is a bit icky (despite OH's comments...and he's seen one!! He saw the one from his little sister), but I'm all for grinding it up really tiny and putting it in capsules That way I don't have to think about what I'm taking and it will be beneficial.

But then there's the factor of will I be bothered? I'd be more than happy enough for someone to do it for me though...

you can pay for it encapsulating but it's dead easy if you want to DIY!

At what stage (i.e. how long the placenta has been out for) would I wanna do that, out of interest? I'm fascinated And if it's meant to prevent PND I'm all for it

You can pop it in the fridge till you get chance but ideally the sooner the better - a few days is fine though.

Google placenta encapsulation for loads of info. If you OH isnt bothered he could start the process for you.
