I was driving to work this morning listening to my usual radio morning show. The DJ has been sharing stories about his wife’s pregnancy. They went to a birthing class last night, and someone brought up eatting the placenta. So weird. I couldn’t believe the coincedence! He didn’t have any good ideas either though :)

I really know very little about all of the above though, so please leave a comment if you know more about it! Thanks!

Of course we all hope no one will ever need it!!!! But who knows what medicine will be able to do in the future!? I can’t believe people really eat it!
