Animals also eat the placenta because leaving a big plop of raw meat lying around is a great way to attract predators when you have vulnerable newborns. Unless there's a pack of dingoes in your maternity ward, this does not really apply to humans.

Something you can do with the placenta is take the placental and umbilical cord blood and tissue from a newborn baby and place it in cryo storage so if the baby gets a blood or immune disease sometime in the future they can use the stem cells to beat it. Another thing you can do with the placenta is eat it. Potato, Pahtaho.

You can also eat raw placenta, usually in smoothie form

you're not supposed to eat raw placenta if meconium (poop!) was in the amniotic fluid
― dayo, Friday, 6 April 2012 21:47 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, only eat it if it's completely filtered any extant poop.

As someone whose child would die and who might also die right along with the child if I decided to let nature take its course w/r/t this pregnancy, I have a whole new perspective on this, which is basically, go ahead and give birth alone in a pile of leaves if you want but don't preach about how it's the only way to raise a healthy and happy child.

I was researching what ails my pregnancy on the internet the other day and came across a midwife message board in which one midwife was questioning whether she should recommend that all of her patients undergo ultrasounds (which is how this complication is diagnosed) because she had a client who had been diagnosed with said complication, and if she hadn't had the ultrasound but had proceeded to labor, consequences would have been dire indeed. Anyway, there was a lot of back and forth and finally one poster went on at length about how the important thing is for women to trust themselves and to trust nature and not to rely on the medical establishment or technology, and that she would never recommend ultrasounds, or even talk to her clients about them, because this undermines our own innate wisdom and any deaths that resulted were a small price to pay for reconnected with our intuition. The original poster decided not to let fear guide her decisions and to continue to tell her clients about ultrasounds but not to recommend that they get them.
I don't know what happened after that because I got so angry I blacked out.
