Placenta!

[Toothache]

A query that was raised on another thread by Chloe55.

Have any MN'ers eaten their placenta.... or know anyone that has?

Just wondering...

baulk< >vom<
(this has much the same effect on my stomach as a conversation about mooncups )

Now I sound like I want to eat it! Hee hee

NO
eugh the thought

Didn't Miriam Stoppard?

some people bury them in the back garden or give them to the cat (not me btw)

burying is supposed to be good luck (is it?)

Yeah.... but does anybody know of anyone who actually ate it!.... or buried it?

and again.. >spew

np can you ask the midwife for it back

I watched a birth program the other day about a woman who planned to use it for something or other and she defrosted it in her microwave - it looked disgusting.

Doormat - I don't think the midwife will still have NP's placenta..... unless she's a freaky stalker with a weird fetish (deep freeze full of placentas).

oh just HAD to click on this
NOOOOO!
Will have one available for Xmas, so if anyone wants one ....
brandy and holly on top?

ninah well they do resemble xmas when they are wrapped up

xmas puddings sorry

well then, a flaming placenta (sounds like a cocktail)
will they notice?

I bet my dog would love it - he'll happily eat pig ears, giblets, cat poo (oh and tampax in the past )

do you think my placentas are in a freezer somewhere just incase i have a notion for them one day?

i had a wierd experience when i had dd2 - the sac (or whatever its called) she had been swimming about in for the past 9 months came out before she did

i had been pushing, thinking it was a baby, when the midwife shouted "push!" and i felt something come out, very warm wet and slippy. "thank god thats over" i thought. but nope, the midwife continued to tell me to push, and had to ask "have i not given birth?" in a confused manner

she said "no its the babies sac, you need to get the baby out now"

i looked down and dh was green, the midwife held up the 'sac' for all to see and dh exclaimed "its like a big PLOOK!"

and it was - all yellow and bloody

its something i wish i could forget

anyone know what they actually do with them
I heard all the oil of ulay stuff
but is that an urban legend

ninah I think they would notice when they bite into a blood clot

oh gross dm
what with that and the plook ... I KNEW i should've stayed away!

NP - what the hell is a plook?

chloe don't ask ...
just send your dog round at Christmas!

a big white/yellow-head spot (like what teenagers get on their faces)

I know I brought up the subject Toothache but did you have to give it it's own thread - I do actually feel physically sick. I have never heard a zit called a plook - PMSL! And unfortunately the dog would love that too I'm sure. Jesus my dog is so digusting!

Yum yum yum

at 3 day old placenta

Thats me not needing to buy cat food for a few days in January then.

Did see a programme where they made placenta pate.

A friend of mine did bury her placenta in the back garden but it was beside her fathers ashes and for her was a very special and spiritual experience.

However ..... I know of someone else who cooked her placenta for a dinner party ...
and didnt tell the guests ..... till after!
Nobody was amused!!

oooooooppppsss!!!!

ps Thankfully I wasnt a guest at that particular event
