Maybe we should be composting them for the hospital's community garden or something. But NO eating and NO keepsakes!
Oh god, I wish I hadn't eaten breakfast already.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

My squick is less over the teddy bear and more over the casual assumption that most right-minded eco-friendly women are going to eat it, rather than letting the hospital staff dispose of it along with all of the other bio-waste associated with giving birth.
Planting is the other option that's popular. I think my sis-in-law planted hers. I, on the other hand, asked to see mine so I could remember its face when I SAW IT IN HELL.
Ahem.
I had issues with my placenta, clearly. Fucking bed rest.
Oh god, I wish I hadn't eaten breakfast already.
Just dying for a nice slice of fried placenta and onions? I bet it tastes like liver. Mainly because it looks like liver.

I don't remember seeing any of mine. I can't say that I mind.

It looked shockingly innocent for such a pain in my ass. All glossy and smooth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Even my crunchiest home-birthing friend didn't eat her placenta, although she thought about it....

Okay, here's something less squicky but equally bizarre - Gay man tries to poison lesbian neighbors after stealing their three-legged cat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I think I can see what the first problem was.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Oh, serious WORD. No, no, no, and in a word, NO. I'm with Aims-- "Thank you and off you go to the bio-hazard wastebin."

If her placenta was crunchy, she has bigger problems than deciding whether she could finish a whole one.

And this is why it's so important to cut the umbilical cord.
Edit: Oh, look. Post 13,000. That's a slumbernut I can get behind.
