I'm doing a smoothie immediately PP and then will encapsulate the rest.

For the mamas who've done it before....what is the taste in a smoothie?? Can you taste the iron-y blood? Or is it totally covered up.

I really want to, but I'm not sure if I can. When I first started reading I was thinking, of course I'm going to. The more I think about it, the harder it gets!!

no

I think its cool if you choose to eat it, but I'm not going to. I'm going to plant a tree or a rosebush or something (I'll decide after the baby is born and see what seems right to me then) because I think that would be neat. More for me then the baby really, I would enjoy watching it grow.

I might. I need all the help I can get with PPD. I hemmorhaged last time too, but only because doc didn't want to wait for the placenta.
I am vegetarian, but don't consider placenta non-vegetarian because no one had to die for me to eat it.

I voted that I'm considering it. I would have, but really had a great transition after his birth, I didnt feel the need.

I would if it was beneficial, for hemorrhage or the like.

I'm planning on it. I'm really skeeved out by the idea, but I like the potential benefits. I think I'll have some fresh and frozen in smoothies and dehydrate and encapsulate the rest.. I may end up having to prep the fresh bits myself. Dh is completely freaked and won't even discuss the idea He's got a few months to come around.
