Do you think women should eat there placenta?

Question

I've heard this has become popular. I am not going to do it but I just wanted to hear why people are doing it and what are thoughts on it. Would you eat yours afterbirth?

Answer

I think people have watched how a lot of mammals eat their placenta and knowing it's full of nutrients makes them want to put it to good use, but no serious scientific research has shown any benefits. On top of that, it's risky because the folks who prepare it (usually they make it into tablets) are unregulated and there have been quite a few cases of moms and babies winding up with food-borne illness from eating it. Most adults wouldn't suffer much, but if you passed it along to your newborn through breastmilk they could get really sick or even die. There was a really thorough story about it on NPR recently if you want to research further.

Answer

I wouldn't but I have nothing against someone who does.

There's recently been research showing woman getting seriously sick from doing this. Why on earth would someone want to eat that. It's the girl who ate her period blood all over 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Answer

I heard that there's been no scientific evidence that it does anything and that most people get the placebo effect from it! I wouldn't do it but I wouldn't judge someone either!
