I didn't know i could ask to be the one to bathe and dress my baby first- silly me

sorry for my dumb question, but
How would you keep the placenta, do you have to freeze it? will it be like a keepsake?

i will use it to make prints and then dry it out for consumption in the from of tablets you can take it home and freeze it to put under a plant or what ever you want

I'm super excited to make prints this time! Last time I had an ob and little backbone. I had asked for it, he looked at me and said no and I left it at that.... Now I have a midwife and a backbone and even if I need a hospital birth for whatever reason I AM bring home my placenta. I know my rights! and my placenta belongs to me!

it sure does, you grew it yourself

Sounds good...

I am a firm believer in not having a birth plan not sure why probably because I have seen a lot of people disappointed when it does not go to plan for whatever reason.

This time around I want

homebirth
no pain meds (including gas and air i hate it too)
no cutting cord until it stops pulsating
vit K but nothing else


thats about it really happy to go with the flow and remain relaxed about it all.

Good for you though being so clear and concise.

Sounds great, very clear, this helps me with my own birthplan which will have similarities to yours! thanks and good luck!

wow, I've just checked out your placenta photos, I didnt realise how big it would be! Are there health benefits in taking a placenta capsule?

I hope you washed that collander well
