My sister came over on Saturday for dinner and to work on a craft project for our nursery. While she was helping me make spaghetti I started to tell her and John what I had just read on BabyCenter just a few days earlier. Upon first reading the BabyCenter discussion board about "placenta recipes" I thought everyone was just joking when they wrote things like stewed, casserole, and deep fried. Rachel quickly set me straight and said that those people were not joking, they really were going to eat it.
While the placenta may have much nutritional value and animals might eat it instinctively, it is something I never want to try. There is a reason there is a garbage bin underneath the delivery bed and that's where it's going. Gross!
I'm sorry if I've offended anyone or knows anyone who might have tried this. I was completely taken back when I found this out. There is no amount of money that someone could pay me to eat what is now inside my body.
Actually Karen, they take it away and examine it to make sure everything was normal with it before they throw it away. You can touch it if you want haha!
