Hey Gretchen, when are you going to have that baby? We fully expect you to post on the forum within 12 hours of the birth. Pics, too!
So I just came across my old recipe for Placenta Parmesan. Interested?
Whale!!!!
maybe they'd prefer placenta pizza?
There actually are a some couples who hold the placenta as sacred and have a special ceremony with it - such as planting a tree on it - instead of just tossing it in the trash. Some do even eat it, though that seems a bit like cannibalism to me. Vegetarians who practice this believe that the placenta is the only form of meat that does not involve the slaughter of an innocent animal. They also believe that it contains many valuable nutrients since it nutures the baby all through pregnancy, and some people consider it a rare treat. Consider that mother cats and dogs eat their placentas.
Eat up!
Placenta aside, Gretchen, I hope your delivery goes well - you must be anxious to meet your little berlier!
