‘I ate my baby’s placenta’

Cheryl Clemens | 04/22/09

My Wednesday blogger is my co-editor, Cheryl Clemens:

Last week Momlogic.com caused a stir when it published an article by a woman
who gave birth and then cooked up the placenta and ate it over pasta and as
part of a panini. And yes, photos were included. Check it out here.

I’m usually not squeamish, and I recognize that eating the placenta is
something done in some cultures (and by most animals). But – wow! – this
really turned my stomach.

Just wondering, has anyone local done this or do you know someone who did? Was it something you had
always planned on doing? Did you tell anyone after and if so, what kind of
response did you get?
