    Its a marketing ploy by Pampers. Soon they will start selling diapers with placenta/cord pouches on the front. Just you wait!

    carrying around a baby and a container or Placenta would be gross and wrong in my opinion

    I've heard of it before. There's some legit reasoning behind it. 

    If it's not for you it's not for you.

    I've also had a friend encapsulate her placenta and felt that it was helpful. She plans on doing it again for this pregnancy. &nbs

    I have heard of it, it is not for me. Super gross IMO. I would also never eat my placenta or encapsulate it

    I've heard of delayed cord cutting so the blood can have time to reenter baby's body but this is weird.

    When I was pregnant with DD, the lotus births were a hot topic of debate. One of the ladies was planning on doing one, but she never posted after she delivered.

    It is supposed to be more gentle or something. No idea there. I imagine it would

    I plan to delay cord cutting until the blood stops pumping if possible. But after that stops what would be the point? And on top of that carrying around the placenta in a jar!?! Gross

    I just have  to say that I love this line....

    "No mother would be running errands during that time anyway...hopefully not until at least the fourth week after giving birth!" she says.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but when I had DS

    Wow.

    Yeah, won't be doing that. I'm fine with my placenta and cord going to some medical disposal system. I imagine its like a garbage disposal for organs? Yummy.

    That's about as much honoring I can muster.

    I've heard of "delayed" cord cutting but not of leaving it on until it falls off itself. I can't see this smelling good.

    I am just not crunchy enough to carry a jar full of what looks like chum, encapsulate my placenta, or anything else along the lines of honoring a organ that feeds and filters. And I totally LOL at a new mom possibly "not going anywhere for four w
