I personally think this stuff is cool and will be turning my placenta into pills and will do the art as well.
What do you guys think? Is this cool or gross?

It has been proven to have its benefits. I think I read somewhere that humans are the only mammals who do not eat their own placenta. As long as it is in pill form I can take it just don't cook a whole placenta and feed me lunch I could never do that seems gross to me.
Anybody who says it's gross is literally an immature child. Do your research before shaming others... seriously embarrassing.
I definitely agree. It's sad so many people are mom shaming this. Even if they think it's gross why would they care if a mom eats it? And I'm sure almost nobody here has done any research on placenta eating/pills
Exactly. Most dudes probably don't even know what a placenta is, let alone the health benefits it contains

Some animals eat the placenta after giving birth. It's a dense source of nutrition. Having said that, when an animal does this, it is very fresh and safe to eat. I'm skeptical about the safety of meat that have been stored at room temperature though. I'm not a fan of Sodium Nitrite as a preservative either.
Anything goes with art. Nothing wrong with personal expression about things you care about.
I think there is something seriously wrong with them! There is NO WAY that (in the least) would not be considered cannibalism! No she’s not eating the baby, but I love liver! And in humans, if you surgically remove a lobe of the liver… it grows back! So if I just eat human liver am I now NOT a cannibal? OF COURSE I WOULD BE!
And so is anyone who eats part of a woman's body, even after she’s given birth! That was an organ in the woman's body that allowed for the exchange of oxygen and CO2, and passes nutrients to the baby. How could you eat a human organ?
We thought about bringing the placenta home before our first was born but right after the birth when we saw the afterbirth, it just did not look appealing. It looked like a used up liver. But turning it into art would be a pretty cool idea. I just can’t imagine eating it. It already looked pretty used up.
Yeah, that was a while ago for me too. Now that I’ve changed hundreds of diapers, it would probably look pretty cool now. 🤣
I do for sure support the art of it and all and i guess that if she wasn’t a to do pills then I can’t really complain but like that’s like a part of her own body…. I mean I guess I just don’t get it.
My recommendation is you read this. sciencebasedmedicine.org/.../
Is not gross just lacks any proven benefit.
I would check out medical nay-sayers and make an informed decision. Eating the placenta is not backed by science, at least for humans, and part of the reason animals do it is to avoid attracting predators.
Oh, and placenta art is whatever. Doesn't matter to me as long as it's not immorally obtained.
Im thinking about cryo banking my future kids placenta if they later need it
It's not my idea of a good time, but I'm not going to judge.
Any human body part I don't mess with if it was originally in our body I would not even keep a tooth.
Eating placenta is natural, most animals do it instinctively… making art with it is a bit extra but to each their own…
Oh ok lol it’s ok, I can’t judge much 🤪
I embarrassed to say this is the reason I stopped working in the Delivery Room. Are you eating placenta pills or have these decorations?
So what is the point of the placenta pills?
Hmm. Interesting.
She created and carried it for 9 months and went through hours of labor (unless incredibly lucky) The mother can do what she wants.
It seems odd to me but I won't judge. What do the pills do?
I mean, whatever floats their boat. I will say eating placenta can mess up the hormonal balance. It doesn't agree with everyone
I've heard of women having a placenta smoothie after giving birth. Apparently, you can't really taste it, but I doubt I'd want to do anything like that with my placenta. 😂
BUT... I am not a Mom and never will be, so... up to her.
It was never really on my radar, and my wife didn’t seem to think much about it either.
I think placenta are just jammy packed with dietary iron so they would make good pills.
I eat bloody pussy on the regular and this is just gross!
Never heard about it.
I know that cats do that. Have seen cat eat it
