Cailin, you don't have to answer if you don't want, it's just idle curiosity; what are you doing with your placenta?

Because we homebirthed our midwives kept asking what to do with it (i hadn't put it in the plan as i just didn't think - we knew we didn't want it and they sure don't ask you that in hospital!) and every time i was like "um, put it in a yellow waste bag and take it away?" LOL.

My friends put theirs under a cherry-tree that they planted at the baby's naming ceremony/christening (they kept it in the freezer - she was 3 months old at christening). THere was a programme on once here in the UK where they ate it - very civilised, made it into pate, just looked (and apparently tasted) like Brussels pate. Can't say i'd fancy it, because i'd be thinking "is this a bit of me, or a bit of Smee i'm eating?". Sorry if that put anyone off their lunch!
