I can't imagine eating it! Ewww, I caught a glimpse of it while they were stitching me up & wanted to puke just seeing it. Lol- but to each their own.
It is the best thing ever! Doctors don't prepare it. Usually a doula. I would Google placenta encapsulation in your area.
I had my girl 9 weeks ago and it never crossed my mind to want to try this at all. But everyone's different. There's also been reviews where people have done it and had adverse effects too. I do wish though that I'd saved stem cells for my daughters, sadly the thousands of dollars it costs is what stopped me. Good luck!
I meant placenta!!!!! Not umbilical cord!
