Placenta?

Question

When I have my baby can I tell the hospital I want to keep the placenta attached to baby for nutrients ? I’ve been looking into it and it is sooo good for the baby.

Answer

I would type up a birth plan and give it your OB so they can look it over. I let my midwife look over mine and told me what was allowed and what wasn't allowed. I have to have a hep lock IV line even tho I won't be connected to an IV just for my safety, I can't have a tens machine because its considered medical equipment, I can only have clear liquids and ice chips during labor and they don't do water births but I can labor in the water as much as I want. So I would just type out a birth plan of everything you want and add a backup plan on there and give it to your OB to look over.

Answer

I would speak to your doctor ahead of time to see what options you have. That way it’s established in your plans not just an idea in the moment that honestly you may forget about or not mention due to having a baby! 
Always best to discuss intentions ahead of time
