Yep, I've heard that it helps to prevent PND, can stop PPH, is very rich in nutrients and can help post birth recovery.

Not sure it I'll go there - I'll talk to my midwife about it. she might be able to help prepare it in a way that seems not too disgusting (ie capsules). I know people who have and will ingested their placenta - they are normal people, not freaky, but all trying to make use of natural resources to help them and their babies.
