ETA: warning in title. Also, I didn't mean to link saving money with eating placenta, hahahahaha. I was just saying that the money bit is why I'm reading this particular blog and then she was talking about this as well.
Okay, so I'm slogging through the archives of under1000permonth.blogspot.com because if you factor in our ridiculous car payment (the mistake that will not die) we are pretty much there and frugality=yay. And I get to this post about "placenta recipes."
I just....I just......
I get that it is supposed to be good for you and all and more power to you if that's what you want to do, but thinking about eating my placenta makes me actually physically nauseous. I can hardly entertain the idea without getting sick, let alone put it into practice.

Re: **WARNING if you have m/s**Oh, placenta.........
DUDE! warnings on posts like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
::runs off to puke::
Tell me, what does a placenta go per pound these days?
lol, and, true.
Hahahahaha. Okay, I just edited the post, but I didn't mean that THAT is why she wants to eat her placenta. Her blog is mainly focused on money, but occasionally goes other places. Like placenta-eating.
when i in school, one of my fellow classmates was doing her thesis on the benefits of eating your placenta. EVERY WEEK she would have to discuss her research. and show pics. and talk in great detail.
and I was pregnant at the time. i ran out of there hurling on more than one occasion....
NOT bashing it. Saying that I don't think I could handle it. Never thought of having it made into capsules--THAT I could probably handle.
OK
I'm just a little on edge from throwing up all night.... Yes, capsules are much less dramatic sounding than actually eating it.
It's cool. I was trying to find a way of phrasing it so that I could get the point across without sounding judgy, but it's hard to do. And in fact I had some pretty awful PPD with D, so I find your capsule idea quite intriguing
this came up on a different board that I'm on and someone found this photo
it makes me LOL
I did placenta encapsulation.
The pills have no taste because you swallow them whole. They are large like a prenatal vitamin, don't look grody, don't smell like anything.
I think they are why I am still able to pump more than DD needs, why I didn't have really bad PPD, and my MWs think it's a reason why I healed as well as I did from a very taumatic birthing experience.
If anyone is seriously interested in this, there is a link to my blog in my siggy and I have links in the taskbar about placenta encapsulation and a link to my posts about the experience.
As a vegetarian, I think there are far grosser "normal" things that people eat. And yep, as a vegetairan I am okay with eating my placenta because it's not hurting another living thing.
My pleasure. You would believe the comments I received while PG, and even in the hospital (had to have it in my written birth plan and even then they were saying I couldn't have it). I have heard it all.
Before I heard of placenta encapsulation and found a specialist in my area, I was going to eat it. I read different recipes and methods online, my sister (bless her heart) even said she would prepare it for me at her house so my house didn't smell like meat.
From what I have read and heard, it tastes and smells like liver. I couldn't stomach liver, even when I was an omnivore so I was SOOO glad to find out about encapsulation. But even if I hadn't, I would rather eat something like liver anf gag the whole time than deal with PPD.
Thanks for the link!!
