Afterbirth: It's What's For Dinner

[Anxious Patient]

Some practitioners believe that consuming the placenta after birth prevents postpartum depression and encourages milk production in new mothers.

A VERY funny article by a new father dealing with his wife's belief in eating her placenta afterbirth.

I had no idea you could hire a placenta chef to come over and cook the afterbirth and then put it in pill form for the mother. Professionally they are called a Placenta Encapsulation Specialist.

A must see vidio how it's done. Filmed by the father, it's a real hoot.
