KittyK when I did it it was on my birth plan and reinforced verbally when I gave birth that my placenta was to be saved and stored. It was put in a fridge and then the next morning (DD3 was born just before 9pm) my DH took it home and then into our fridge. My "placenta lady" then came to our house and collected it, took it home and did everything there. We then picked up the end results the next day when I went home. My DH was pretty grossed out by the whole idea of cuddling my placenta while he walked back to the car, but it was "discreetly" packaged by the hospital. Take a big icecream container or something so that your DH can put it in its bag into that, and then he won't even have to feel it.

I can't tell you how glad I am I did it. TBH the whole concept made me physically ill when I originally heard of it, but that was when I was reading about actual raw placenta consumption, as opposed to in a capsule form. Then I went on and had severe PND so I was prepared to get myself past the ickness of it all if it was going to stop me going down the same road again, but in all honesty after the initial capsule I didn't even think of it anymore - just popped my happy pills every day like I would any other vitamin.
