I think the choice comes down to the person who produced it; the mother. If she decides she wants to ingest it, then that is her choice and it has very little to do with any of us. As long as it doesn't do any harm to her, there's no reason for any of us to question it. We're entitled to our opinions but we shouldn't judge anyone who chooses to eat placenta.pregnancy scanshttp://www.ultrasound-direct.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-53520130074378094402011-06-07T09:14:12.290-07:002011-06-07T09:14:12.290-07:00Not even one post from a woman who ate it?

Cannibalistic? Yes.<br /><br /> I used to be vegan- nobody I knew back then including myself would ever do this. And I would much rather eat a dead animal than part of MYSELF.

But then I'm the opposite of being all into the earth mother thing. I would quite happily have missed the whole experience and let my husband bear and deliver our daughter if possible! Not because I don't adore my girl, but the whole thing is surreal enough without eating human flesh. Thankfully, my doctor knows me and didn't offer or even show me, fatigued and freaked out as I was after 20+ hrs labour and a surgery! I think c-section might be part of it too, since then you are in the hospital for a few days and can't do anything with it anyhow.kittenpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05215443551546036909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1140630413331659652006-02-22T09:46:00.000-08:002006-02-22T09:46:00.000-08:00good God, woman.

No problem presented as a result of said investigation...
