For whoever is interested, my twins' placentas were dried and ground and I had 1 teaspoon twice per day, mixed with my other powdered herbs. There was quite a bit to get through but I firmly believe that my recovery (from very long, twin prenancy with significant haemorrhage during emergency cs) was vastly aided by doing so. The taste was "meaty" and at first it was best to not overthink it. Eventually, like all new tastes, I got used to it. But I felt very strongly that it was the right thing to do for my body and breastmilk supply.

I've kept some in reserve for homeopathic uses later, if required.

If anyone is thinking of taking home their placenta's, be clear about this with the hospital staff. There was definite reticence to hand ours over and initially we were told that we couldn't have it.

The preparation was quite involved so it's important to get good advice as to how to do this as you don't want to ruin it!

I've not told family and friends as it's very private and hard for people to understand. It's great that this forum has these types of discussions - valuable tools for us all.
