Re: oxtail

I wonder what is going through a womans mind when shes eating a recently 'shed' placenta, hows about "i must be mental, maybe my brains come out with the afterbirth"....

Re: oxtail

its supposed to help you get better after the birth and some think it prevents post natal depression..

Neil	11-12-2008 17:51

Re: oxtail

Eating human flesh is illegal in this and most other countries so I would expect eating placenta, even if it is your own is as well.

Re: oxtail

i watched something about eating your placenta not long ago on telly, it actually has no benefits for your body whatsoever

Young wives' tale

But there has been a longstanding belief among some new mothers that eating the placenta can yield benefits.

One supposed reason is that it can reduce the incidence of post-natal depression. It has also been claimed to have nutritional properties needed by women after childbirth.

But consultant obstetrician Maggie Blott dismisses the post-natal depression theory. In fact, says Dr Blott, a spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, there's no medical justification at all.

"Animals eat their placenta to get nutrition - but when people are already well-nourished, there is no benefit, there is no reason to do it," she says.
