Cyathea, I am increasingly leaning towards eating it next time too as I had PND, bad milk supply and insomnia last time round. The only thing is I'm personally not sure if I could eat it raw.
I'm a vego, so I feel your pain!

The first bit after birth will be raw (yuck) but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do I guess!

The rest of it my lovely doula said she will cut into small pieces for me which I will then freeze, and have a piece a day, or when I feel I need to have it.

All the best with it, it takes some getting over the 'ick' factor at times
