I visited my friend today who just had a baby. She chose to have her baby in her home with a mid wife, which I thought was really great. The natural way, you know? Well, after giving birth to the baby, the midwife asked my friend if she wanted to keep the placenta. My friend thought that it was a little strange. What was she going to do with the placenta? Well, apparently it is becoming more popular to keep your placenta. Some people eat it. A lengthy discussion followed. I couldn't believe that mothers would eat their own afterbirth. But it's true. There's recipes for placenta lasagne, spaghetti, stew, and more.
