I did it with my 4th didn’t see a difference
I don’t see any reason
I don’t see anything wrong with it 
there is some evidence that it can help reduce blood loss, increase milk supply and oxytocin, which in turn can help regulate mood and help mama sleep and eat better. Personally I won’t pay the money to get to encapsulated but if I could afford it I would probably do it. Every other species of mammal eats their placenta

One of the main jobs of the placenta is to discard harmful wastes. I don’t understand why anybody would want to eat a placenta. Wouldn’t recommend it… crazy people.

The benefits arent exactly scientifically proven due to lack of study but they have been coming mainstream derived from vietnamese culture. I would say if she is looking for benefits then to look up delayed cord clamping.
I’m scared for your sister to be a mom with a crazy mind like that. F*CKING GROSSSS .

I donated mine to research. I know a lot of moms who were interested in this sort of thing, but the idea just grossed me out.
Why not just let her do what she wants with her own body?

I’ve heard there is. I’d ask a doctor though. I had a friend who wanted to do this. I’m not going to lie. I thought about it too. She at first wanted to go hard core with it and put it in her food. I was thinking more along the lines of having it dehydrated, crushed up, and put into capsules. I ended up not doing it though. Like I said, ask a doctor. There’s a lot of claims about there being benefits. I don’t know if there is any truth to them. But honestly……I mean other animals eat their placenta. It’s not unnatural. I mean is it really going to hurt her trying it? If the answer ends up being no. Then I would say just let her. I know some may think that’s really gross. But in my opinion, if it’s not going to hurt anything. Then just let people do what they want and think what is best for them/their families. This whole parenting journey is kind of odd and difficult as it is sometimes. I think as long as everyone is healthy and happy. Then just be supportive even if it’s not your cup of tea. You don’t have to be all for it. But I wouldn’t discourage it if it’s actually harmless and someone really wants to do it.
I’ve heard that in other countries the father has to eat the placenta. Never researched it to see if it’s actually a thing or not. I however couldn’t imagine eating it or having it put it capsules

The placenta is sent to the lab after birth unless she delivered at home. Totally gross. Don’t know how it can be digested due to it being full of blood. Some third country stuff here.

My initial thought was that it seemed animalistic. The practice of eating placenta, or “placentophagy,” is common in the animal kingdom. It is believed that most non-human mammals with a placenta consume their “afterbirth” — as the placenta is otherwise known — as a way of eradicating the scent of their newborn and protecting them against predators. I would not risk becoming ill from a health fad or “claim” without real evidence of it’s benefits especially when I need to be caring for a newborn. Take a multi vitamin and get some sun instead, it works. I feel if it were truly beneficial, everyone would do it. If it were good and natural, we would all have a strong instinct to do it and wouldn’t consider not doing it.

There’s zero scientific data to support the idea that it’s beneficial. If anything, there’s a risk of viral or bacterial infection for a breastfeeding baby or mom.

We’re past the point of giving birth in the wild where we have to conceal the fact that a birth has taken place at a particular location. Also, there are other ways to get the benefits of consuming organ meat without eating your placenta. I would suggest fixing up a batch of chicken livers. The iron is what you’re after I believe. I’ve given birth twice. There’s nothing especially appetizing about a placenta. Skip it and go for fried chicken livers, potato wedges, and corn on the cob.

…so, yes and no?
The whole thing is silly both ways.
On the one hand placenta eaters make you feel like there are magic nutrients you can’t get any other way and you’ll be worse off permanently if you miss out.
They’re wrong, obviously.
On the other hand, my dog ate her placenta (we didn’t think to get it away from her because we were busy with the puppies). It seemed totally natural and kinda makes sense that you wouldn’t want a bloody, rotting mass attracting predators near your young.
Plus, of course it has nutritional value, it’s meaty and although the consistency grosses me out it shouldn’t be gross in an unsafe way. It was evidently a common practice before modern ideas of sanitation, and shouldn’t be covered in germs or anything since the uterus was a sanitary environment. (It’s a closed system up until birth; there shouldn’t be any more germs than you’d get on your food.)
SO, all that is to say that you’re welcome to ask her not to involve you or offer you any, but it’s silly to attack the idea or try to stop her.
I didn’t eat mine.
ETA - I didn’t realize it was a waste filter point.
It really may be that the instinct in animals to eat it is a maternal sacrifice to protect the babies from predators and not about conservation of nutrients invested in it at all…that said, we live in a world of plenty and don’t need the nutrients anyway…

Who cares, animals have been eating their placenta since the beginning of time, it’s not going into your body so why try convince her not to do it? While it’s not my cup of tea. Who cares if your sister wants to do it. She obviously feels it’s going’s to benefit her, so support her.

This became a huge thing when the Kardashians done it although it had been done before that in other cultures as well… let her do it if she wants, her body her choice right?

It’s a placebo effect there’s no actual scientific study saying it has any benefits
There’s absolutely no nutritional value or effects from consuming the placenta I think you’re just looking for justification for the fact that you’re just curious and you just want to because you’re interested lol just say that And Bon appétit… It’s not that big of a deal after all there’s no nutritional value in eating ass but people eat ass every day
I have never understood why some mothers do this. It just seems revolting to me.

I had a patient who suffered from severe post partum depression with her first child. She learned ingesting the placenta had helped others with PPD. Had it professionally finely ground and put into capsules. She said after baby #2 she was great. Normal newborn stressors, no PPD. So she kept the placenta and was doing the same baby #3! We put it on ice in a cooler for her!

The placenta is a filtration system for all bad things going into and out of the baby. It is not a good idea to eat a filter from the body. Its stupid uneducated Kardashian that have no medical background of any sort. They are only banking on people stupidity to make money. Tell her if she’s mother, time to learn how to do research from a source medical site vs celebrity 90210. They are nothing more but brainless idiots running around town trying to make a buck off of anything.

There are studies from 2018 (that are located on the National Library of Medicine) that show there is not enough evidence to support that it offers health benefits. Many people believe it does. I would honestly mind your business as it does not directly impact you.

No.
Just a massive waste of money and effort.
Animals consume it to hide their babies.
There’s no true backing that it ever gives nutrients or pacifies PPD. However, if people wanna believe it and have the placebo, have at it lol. Personally, no thanks. It’s being dumped. I’ll take a multivitamin.

Didn’t one of the Kardashians cook and eat their planceta? I’m sorry for me it’s so but it’s also your sisters choice so I would mind my business
I’ve known many many women who have encapsulated their placenta. Every single one of them has said it helps avoid the PPD and they didn’t have issues with iron or anything afterwards. There is no down side to it. With it being encapsulated it’s literally just taking a pill. It’s a very common thing to do Now days for humans and has shown several benefits from it. If you aren’t the one ingesting it, maybe just stay out of it. Or be supportive of whatever decision is made because again, you are not the one ingesting it so who cares what someone else chooses to do.

I would ask her who is encapsulating it for her and what is their cleaning process between placentas… lol— it might make her think twice.
There are a lot of things in the placenta that a little dawn and hot water isn’t going to kill, so she will most likely be consuming leftover bits from someone else’s placenta too.
Also, if she is strep B positive and has a vaginal birth, she can pass the strep B onto the placenta and then pass it to her baby when she breastfeeds once she consumes it.
I agree it’s her body her choice- doesn’t make it less gross or dangerous, but yeah.
