Congratulations! Who's eating the placenta?

[Aussie Dasher]

Perhaps Mrs. Heinz could bottle it...

I want to kick you...

I was halfway through a nice bagel with cream cheese....

I need to lie down now.

Damn you for stealing my punch line.

According to many midwives, the placenta has an amazing high nutritive value, which is why this practice is encouraged. It's similar in value to eating a super-vitamin meal, and it supposed to help restore the body's depleted resources expended during childbirth. Many animals in the wild do it for just this reason.

I am the proud mother of 3 beautiful babies; had post-partum with 1 of them, never considered the placenta meal.

Then again, folks rave about the benefits of eating liver. Yuck!
