TBH I find it quite rank and I dont believe in the spiritual side of things with 'energy' and all that jazz. I'll be doing delayed cord clamping but no way in hell would I do a lotus birth.

I wouldn't do it if you paid me, I think it's disgusting. And it can't be particularly hygienic!

You keep the placenta in a bucket beside them I think. I'd be terrified of hurting my Lo though.

I wanted to delay cord clamping with my son, but as he had some complications they needed to take him away quickly, otherwise i would have delayed. As for lotus, not for me.

I get anough of a reaction for extended rear facing my 19 month old, lol, imagine the reactions you would get from lotus births lol! here is my son? oh and his placenta.

So what about eating your placentas? Would anyone do that? There were a few people planning it when I had my son, again not for me, although I understand that a little more, dont think i could stomach it though :S

yeah, what would happen if you caught the placenta or something. or the umbilical cord. surely it would cause a major bleed or something.
