Its popular with Home births I know that, Im not sure if hospitals allow you to take them home or not.

Cherie, I hope you get tonnes of Limes from your tree and another little blessing is not far away

[Trillian]

Cherie, that would have been a very moving moment for you and Gareth. I was wondering what tree you would eventually pick

awsome! sending u lotsa baby dust!

[feeb]

What a lovely thing hope u get yummy limes from it!!

Hospitals cant stop you taking it home (unless something wrong with placenta and they have sent it to pathology for testing) just be careful what you plant it under as some plants can die from the nutrients in the placenta.

Hospitals check them and then put them in a bag and then in a big bin where they go to be burnt.

I think most do. Mine was not only a hospital birth, but a caesarean birth too. My OB said nobody had ever asked him before, but also said "well, I don't want it, so I suppose you can keep it" lol.
