Would you eat your placenta?

Strange but true: Humans are the only mammals that aren’t known to eat their afterbirth. The act of eating a placenta, known as ‘placentophagia’, isn’t common in the Western world, although it has long been held as an important part of the birthing process in some cultures. Advocates of placentophagia argue that the prostaglandin (a hormone-like substance) content of the placenta can help the uterus contract while the high levels of vitamin B6 can help prevent postnatal depression.
I ate both my girls’ placentas
It was my acupuncturist who first mentioned how amazing the human placenta is and that it’s not valued enough in our society. That prompted me to look into it on the internet where I discovered just how nutritionally valuable it is for a new mum. It seemed a waste to just throw it out so I decided to dry it and prepare it into a supplement.
I told my obstetrician that I wanted to keep it and he was very supportive, as was my husband Brad.
After my first daughter Ivy was born, the midwives put the placenta in the fridge in my room. I had a look and was amazed at just how big and complicated it was.
The next day, my mum came and took it home to prepare for me. She washed it, boiled it, dried it out slowly in the oven then ground it by hand. It came out as little pebbles with a vague, not unpleasant, smell – they were easy to wash down with a glass of water. I did this for four weeks after the baby was born and felt great.
Fifteen months later when I had Andie, Mum tried a different method: slicing the placenta finely before drying and then grinding. This was much more successful because the powder could then be put into gel capsules to take as a supplement. I’d heard of cutting bits off and adding to meals but I didn’t fancy that as I didn’t know how it would taste.
I posted a picture of the capsules on Facebook, and my friends were in disbelief (some probably rolled their eyes) but I would do it again and encourage others too. For Mum it was a special way to help me, and to connect with her granddaughters; for me it was a way of making childbirth more intimate and personal.

之前上产前教育课，最后一个环节就是参观产房和病房，MW带我们去了一个房间有一个冰箱打开都是黑色的垃圾袋上面标有姓名等细节，MW说这个是给产妇拿回家的胎盘！全场老外做呕吐表情，我就看着老公心想，还可以拿回家？

网上有资料说要干净的无病菌的胎盘处理好消毒过才能吃。这边医生会介绍是否干净无病菌么

这个不就是中药中的紫河车吗？自已弄需要些勇气。 好像还有人专门冷冻起来以备后用的。
评论
好吃么？怎么吃？蒸啊炸啊还是爆炒？ 什么口感啊？要是跟鲍鱼一样的那就骗我那是鲍鱼 别告诉我是胎盘就行！ 要不我会反胃的。。。
评论
不敢吃。
但是以前看过一本韩国小说里面说如果妇女怀孕困难，多吃这个可以帮助怀孕？
评论
紫河车据说很补哇，不过不知道自己吃自己的是不是有点那个。。。。。
评论
到底有多少人吃？吃了到底是不是真的大补？反正网上说什么的都有。
我个人目前不太敢，敢家里也没人会做，唯一会做的人生完还来不了，估计也没法保鲜
很多当地人倒是拿回家种在院子里面当施肥了，结果种下胎盘那块地里养什么都长得异常茂盛。
评论
和婆婆争论起来这个 很烦我自己的东西拿回家种着难道不行吗？
评论
我生完医院就一直问我们要不要把胎盘带走，我没敢吃
评论

我看过有人洗胎盘，我因此摸过那期待。虽然觉得很腥，但感觉咬下去的口感应该不查。
评论
邻居吃过很多，据说跟牛百叶差不多。
评论
说是胎盘才会恶心，说是乳牛百叶，楼上的几位恐怕都吃得挺欢。
