Just heard about this today. It freaks me out. Anyone else heard about this or know anyone who's done it?

    Not cutting the cord. Carrying around the cord and placenta until it naturally falls off. Gross right?

    That's gross. And I see no benefit to that. What do they claim the benefits are?

    If that's your thing, more power to you.  No judgements here.

    Yeah... I always say I'm having a suedo lotus birth because we aren't going to cut the cord until after the placenta is delivered... but I don't get the point of walking around with it for 2+ weeks...

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

    Apparently it take 3 to 4 days to fall off. And it's supposed to be a spiritual and emotional thing. Not really a health benefit. Still, it gives me the willies.

    We are doing delayed cord cutting too! But I don't see a physical benefit to lotus birth for me or baby.

    We're doing delayed cord clamping, but for me and my family, I feel a lotus birth is unnecessary.  But for anyone who wants to do that and feels it's the right thing, then they'll get no judgment from me!

    I have NEVER heard this !! I don't think I would want to deal with anything hanging out 4 days after child birth. People try some interesting things !

    I'm doing delayed cord clamping (probably 10-15 min) but lotus birth seems pointless and strange.  Even cats chew off the umbilical cord.  With lotus birth you keep the placenta attached and store it in a bowl, wrap it up in cloths, put herbs and stuff on it.. lol

    Here's a website about it - https://www.sacredbirthing.com/lotus-birth

    I saw it in a movie with Jennifer Aniston. 

    We're doing delayed clamping but that just sounds like such a hassle lol.

    I'd always wondered what that was, interesting. I'd be surprised if you find anyone on here who's done it, but there's got to be a blog somewhere by someone who has.  Try offbeatmama :-)
