Bummer I just ate lunch.

Isn't your baby/child enough of a souvenir of your pregnancy? Do we really need to wear organ jewelry now?

[cincodemayo]

Oh. God. WHY?!

[biogirl21]

I wish I could post the little puking smiley, because yuck.

YES, exactly.

Liking wasn't enough, I needed to quote this.

OMG blood spatter

My boy has a crown and sceptre made from Up&Up formula. He is my prince.

I still think all this shit is a hoax.

I don't believe any milk or placenta is actually included.

Me, too. Or that's what I tell myself to avoid contemplating random etsy jewelers handling all this placenta and breast milk.

[havarti]

They wouldn't let me keep my placenta!     Now how will I compete?!?!

[rootbeerfloat]

I do wish I'd had the opportunity to see my placentas. I'm sure they were gorgeous, lol.

[aspentosh]

Well. That's disgusting.

I asked my OB to see mine and he was super excited to show me and point everything out.  It was pretty cool, but I didn't exactly want to wrap it up and take it home.

It was, however, the only moment in my entire L&D that my husband turned gray and had to excuse himself.

DD made us promise to take pictures of the placenta when I had DS. I had DH do it with his phone because, while it was interesting enough to look at the placenta once, I didn't want to have to scroll through those photos on my own phone in the future.

Btw, DD was kind of disappointed in what it looked like.

I asked this time to see it. It looked like a squid to me - lol! It was interesting. My Dr was excited to show me!

[pinotgrig]

Huh. It's literally a push present. Nice.

[matildasun]

I am pretty open to odd things, and really like breast milk jewelry, but no to placenta jewelry. Ick.

edited for over sharing.

[mcfelix]

Slightly off topic, but when they were about to deliver my placenta, the nurse said "time to deliver the ugly twin!" Ahh that still cracks me up!

[redheadk]

I made my ob promise to not show me the placenta. In fact, I am pretty sure I mentioned to both a nurse and the ob who delivered the placenta that I did not want to see it. I'm sure they thought I was crazy but the nurse that taught our birth class was big on seeing the placenta so I was extra careful to make sure they knew that I didn't want to see it.

[whitepicketfence]

I was curious one time and asked to see the placenta. Never again, man. Never again. :::shudders:::

I had planned to sneak a peak and forgot - giving birth distracted me - so this makes me feel better.  



Can’t say I ever considered having jewelry made out of the darn thing.  I feel so uncreative.

I saw my SILs when I was in the room for her delivery. It was actually different then I expected.

[MamaMaui24]

So no-go on the foreskin pandora bracelet "bead?"

[meltoine]

Oddly enough, I'm not into birth related jewelry at all, but I'm really into that thing where they take cremains and squish them into diamonds. I seriously considered it when my dad passed.

Bah. I actually gagged a bit reading this and I am not squeamish at all.

I'm in the camp of "looked at the placenta, pretty amazing" but hell no I'm not gonna wear it. I carried that thing around inside me for 8-9 months and am happy to be rid of it.

What a cool kid! I love that she was so interested in the placenta.

FTR, I was fascinated by mine and saw them both times. Both doctors were so excited to have someone who cared that they gave me guided tours of them :-). I did not, however, have any desire to take them home or preserve them in any way.

I guess this would be the place where I say I have a dehydrated piece of the umbilical cord from each of my children. Ace's is actually really cool, because she used the part that was knotted.

You're going to keep all their teeth, aren't you?
