What are the consequences of not severing it? I imagine you’d have the weirdest bellybutton on earth if nothing else.

    The placenta is not pleasant to look at, so I can imagine pills make it more palatable. I don’t think a lot of study has been done on the effects of eating placenta after birth, but it’s technically a separate organ that belongs to the baby.

    So no matter how you spin it, they’re eating baby organs.

      Doesn’t actually belong to the baby, it’s a hybrid organ that contains DNA and tissue that comes from both the mother and the fetus.

      Pop that sucker into a blender and you don’t have to worry about how it looks. Mmm Mmm placenta milkshake.
