My 8th grade science teacher claimed he ate the placentas from both his children's births. This makes absolutely no sense to me. I've also heard of women drying theirs, grinding it into a powder, and taking it in capsule form to treat PPD. This makes only slightly more sense to me. I guess if anyone is gonna eat it, it should be the mom, but I've never been that hungry... and I can't see how eating my own internal organs would cheer me up.
