What shall I do with DDs placenta?

[tiredpooky]

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!

It does have a touch of 'je ne sais quois' about it and comes with a built in thingy that sticks out the top of a beret.

OP - what about a nice homeopathic remedy? You only need one millionth of a part to an ocean of water so could keep a sliver and lob the rest.

Or rehydrate it and make slippers?

Wow there are some seriously unimaginative and negative people on this forum.

What gives anyone the right to criticise someone's decision to keep their placenta? Get a life, dull people.

We've kept ours and when I've got the energy I'm gonna dig a deep hole in the garden and plant a tree on top of it.

What a first post to stumble on to dickdotcom!

I have confession . . . in NZ it's a Maori tradition to bury the placenta under a tree. Only I kept forgetting and would sometime have to rummage in the placenta buckets and take out what I thought was the right one.

So are you sure it's yours in the freezer??

You can have your placenta encapsulated and turned into more palatable tablet form - supposed to help your lactation get going, though you may have left it a bit late.

(oh and my friend says that you can keep the tablets to help you through the menopause)

I have met quite a few parents who have kept their baby's cord stump when it fell off . . .one for the keepsake box!

i know this is an old thread (have been reading the classics) i felt i have to say 3breats eating placenta is no different to biting your nails , does this mean if i was hungry i could bite lumps out of my arm? or if i had an organ removed i should eat that too? frame it perhaps?
