Lotus births.

Maybe you could hang them upside down in the window to dry them, then paint them with shellac and hang them on a pretty ribbon cord for her to wear to the prom.

OMG! I can't believe someone would do that! What a bunch of weirdos. Isn't there SOME kind of change that takes place within the infant's body at birth when the cord is cut?

I think that woman's children are good children because of how she raised them...not because they were allowed a transition time with their placentas.

And if it wasn't natural to cut the cords...then why do other animals do it? Like cats...after they give birth they eat the placenta and cord...hey NICU nurse...maybe that's why the cat wanted the placenta so bad!

Oh, this thread has been an immense source of laughter this afternoon.

Thank you everyone!

You do have a point though, most animals knaw through the cord after birth and eat the placenta, it is believed, to regain lost nutrients.

Maybe she should have cooked up the placenta for dinner, it was allready salted.

Oh great! I predict a rash of addendums to the 5 page birth plans!

CoffeeRTC, BSN, RN · Oct 7, 2003

YUK! I read somewhere, maybe around here...some people (not animals) actually eat their placenta!

which was perfect for the red velvet placenta bag that I had sewn.

Long gone the days of sewing beautiful bonnets and blankets for little ones...Now expectant grandmothers are sewing placenta bags. Wonder where she got the pattern? :rolleyes:
