It has been in the freezer for a year now and I am starting to feel too proud of it to plant it and allow it to rot.
I dont suppose I can make it into something? I guess a necklace/bracelet wouldnt work.
Or maybe she would like it when she is 18?
Will it be alright in the freezer next to food for the next 17y?
I am afraid I am being serious - its such a special thing!

You are statistically very likely to have a prolonged powercut, unnoticed freezer breakdown or house move in the next 17 years and then you will have to throw it out at the spur of the moment. So if you want to do sonething with it I would do it sooner rather than later.

Don't have any other suggestions, for me the thing had done its job when ds popped out and that was that.

Actually I think a placenta necklace would be fab.

What did you originally think you were going to do with it? Why did you put it in the freezer?

Could you not try to think of it as something that was special and useful but has now served its purpose? And can therefore be allowed to rot?

I really can't think of anything else sensible to do with it. Even if eating it seemed like a good idea to me it wouldn't be after it's been frozen for a year.

Sorry but that's just gross, and I'm sure she wouldn't thank you for giving it to her for her eighteenth birthday!
