What did you do with your placenta?

[jensha]

Hey, can you still eat / encapsulate your placenta if you delay cord clamping?

Hmmm this thread is giving me something to think about.

For those who have had the smoothie or the capsules, did you feel better, more energetic etc?

Thanks for the links, motherearth. I read through the instructions and I really want to do this, but I'm honestly not sure I can stomach it. I don't entirely know why -- I'm not squeemish! It may be because I haven't eaten meat in over 12 years.

I know this is different, it's not animal flesh, but I just took a look at it in the freezer and it looks like a piece of steak. I wonder whether I would be able to physically handle it since some people have problems eating meat again after their bodies become used to not digesting it for so long.

I didn't have any PND, I'm taking iron supplements (floradix) for the blood loss I sustained, but I have plenty of energy. Will it still be super helpful to eat being 5 weeks PP? Any vegetarians/ vegans ate their placenta and felt fine?
