what a surprise!

So, DH and I were at a hypnobirthing childbirth class. I was asking about PPD and hypnobirthing since the principal is about your mind and relaxation. Was wondering if there are any theraputic benefits to it. So instructor started talking about bringing placenta home, and ultimately turning it into pills. I thought DH would be really weirder out. Not so!! He loved the idea. He looks at me and says, oh we are definitely doing that!! LOL what a surprise. Been with him almost 12 years, and he just surprised me!!

That's wonderful! I blended my placenta into smoothies after the birth and I'm so glad that I did. It helped me so much.

That's great! I dried mine, but didn't put it in capsules. I took some with a spoonful of yogurt for the first month. I think it helped tremendously, if for no other reason than the act of handling the placenta grounded me and helped me transition from the self-care of pregnancy to the self-care of motherhood. YMMV

My dh was also cool with it. He was a little squicked at first, but got used to the idea when I showed him some research on it. Now he brags to people about it. Ha!
