Absolutely nothing.
I am not an eat-your-placenta OR make-it-into-art kind of girl. I will stick with healthy whole foods after birth to increase my energy and recooperate.

I am in the "whatever the hospital does with it" clan. Last time mine had to be tested for infection. Otherwise I am assuming they discard it in some way.
I have no idea. If we deliver at home as planned we have to deal with it. I'll probably freeze it and then put it out on garbage day. I'd bury it but we have too many racoons and I have visions of it strewn around my yard.
I was pretty grossed out by anything placenta related that people do until I did some research, and while it's still kind of gross I think I will want all the help I can get postpartum.

Encapsulation. The lady we hired to do it also makes an art print of it and dries the cord into a heartshaped ornament. I don't care about the placenta and cord arts and crafts but it is part of her service. I will probably look at it, think it's interesting and throw it out. But I believe in the capsules.
Nothing, hospital disposal. I'm not convinced about it's benefits being worth the cost of encapsulation. So I'm not into that either but to each his own.

Plant it with a new fruit tree.

Hahahahaha so gross.
I'm letting the hospital do whatever they do with it.
Yuck!
Encapsulation.

Excellent answer!
It's culturally common to bury the placenta with a tree, where we are, which is what we did.
MW examined the placenta and showed me what she was looking at and for. It was super interesting.

Just kidding. I don't even want to see it. I see and understand the benefits of encapsulating it, but I'll definitely pass.
