I'm sure you all (well the females) have an interesting story to tell.

And the Fathers too!!

But this one !!! OMG did you even consider this

http://style.uk.msn.com/social...bout-placenta-eating

"If consuming something that came out of your body can reduce the risk, why wouldn't you go for it anyway?"

Now - i'm gonna say this is a type of brainwashing of fragile Mums into doing something nature is telling you not to do.

I wouldn't drink my pee-pee if life depended on it - never mind cos its full of vitamins. I can get them in Boots!!!

I wouldn't fancy it but don't a lot of animals do it? I don't think that's brainwashing - it's sort of instinct isn't it?

ermmm yeah... in nature, we would would eat it! Its full of iron & other nutrients. (not wee.. its not a giant kidney)

Nobody ever suggested I eat the placenta after having either of my kids - though the midwife I had when having the girl did say something about Olay using them as part of the ingredients in their skin care creams (dunno how true that is.. I was still off my face at the time.. and I don't think mine got carted off to Olay... the girl was 3 weeks late & it was all ready pretty degraded apparently )
