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.

ultrasounds are totally harmless! they're not like amniocentesis for god's sake

In the 1850s, the infant mortality rate in the United States was estimated at 216.8 per 1,000 babies born for whites and 340.0 per 1,000 for African Americans, but rates have significantly declined in the West in modern times. This declining rate has been mainly due to modern improvements in basic health care, technology, and medical advances. In the last three decades, infant mortality overall has also decreased considerably. In the last century, the infant mortality rate has decreased by 93%. Overall, the rates have decreased drastically from 20 deaths in 1970 to 6.9 deaths in 2003 (per every 1000 live births).

Ha, I forgot saying that. Carl, we need to save the placenta for 2 days to make it to the first home game after the birth.

Since the stupid placenta is part of the problem, we can throw it onto Lake Shore Drive and watch the cars grind it into the asphalt for all I care.

Oh this is fun.
To save money while eating "healthy":
Tip 4: Forage wild food for free; go to your local woods, park or even your neighbour’s front gardens where you will be surprised at how much is growing, even in the city.
aka steal food from your neighbors. Cheap! Also apparently serve turds on a plate: http://mamanaturally.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/img_0649.jpg

Below I have taken a selection of common childhood imbalances from Louise L. Hay’s book ‘You can heal your life’ and given their mental invitations/thoughts that have manifested the illness.

I don't want to even address that shit seriously but even if you believed in it couldn't you see how simplistic it is? Fevers are the manifestation of anger, because they both involve "burning up." Come on. Use your imagination at least.
