  • If you had severe PPD you may change your mind. I got mine put into capsules this time. If it may help I'll do it...it sucks having PPD. And I feel great this time so maybe it worked! It is gross if you think about it to much but I just fig

  • I just threw up in my mouth a little. 

    In many cultures in Peru, the placenta gets buried under the front door of the house or under the fireplace, depending if it's a boy or a girl. But it's not gross.

  • I don't think it's that strange. I wish we had the money to encapsulate mine after this birth.
    It's spelled 'disgusting' by the way.

  • I never considered it, but I if I had had PPD I probably would have tried it.  Especially if you have it encapsulated, I don't think that's gross.

    Well, I guess here is my FFC. I ate my placenta in smoothie form with DD in January. It would have been about $200 to encapsulate it and I figured I'd just go for it. DH cleaned it and chopped it up and we froze it in ice cube trays. Then I'd stick a f

  • Makes me wanna throw up thinking about it honestly. I do not want to eat my after birth.... We are human's not dogs. It's a human organ that eliminates waste as part if it's function. I make a point not to eat anything I push out of my body.

  • I will be doing it next baby (encapsulating that is). My midwife thinks it will help my milk supply and I'll be damned if anything stops me from breastfeeding next time around.

  • I got my placenta put into capsules to take like a daily vitamin, I still take them 13 months later and am planning to have it done again for baby # 2 due in Oct.

    It really helped with my moods after and feeling overwhelmed.

  • I think it's nasty, encapsulated or not, but that's just me. Not saying I wouldn't try it if I had PPD, or would think negatively on anyone else who did it. 

    The thought makes me shudder.
