lotus birth and/or placentaphagy?

[riverundine]

did anyone here have a lotus birth, or is anyone here planning on having a lotus birth? if so, did you go all the way until natural separation or did you cut after 24 hours, or what? what was your experience?
i'm trying to figure out what i want to do...

and is anyone or did anyone eat or cap their placenta for pph or ppd?

I'm due in like 10 days & we're planning to encapsulate the placenta. I've never had a baby before so this will be my first experience. It makes GREAT medicine. Really cuts down on the baby blues, I imagine.

Can anyone link me to a scholarly/reputable article that talks about how placentaphagy helps with PPD?

I don't think this is something that works for me, but I'm interested in learning more about the science behind it in case I'm wrong

Check out the PPD forum - there is a great discussion ongoing about this.
