(2015/01) Jan 2015 Mummies


I went for my for Wk 31 +/- yest, bb weight 1.8kg. Again gynae say bb head already down keep asking me to walk less no shopping etc. If not i sure will have early labour. Nw will be 3 wks later for my next checkup. So stress now. my EDD should be end Jan to early Feb. Look like my bb cant wait to see me soon....hahahaha
 
Placenta - I've learnt in the antenatal class, we need to decide if we want to keep the placenta too!!

Are you guys keeping?? Anyone going to make into pills etc????

Early jan is good also or mid jan .. So that will not crush with cny season when the fishes , and everything is soooooo expensive ... I did my confinement for #2 starting from 7 days before cny... Gosh ... Super expensive ingredients.

But just let your bb choose which day bb want to come out can Liao .. It's all 'fated'

My edd for #2 is the 1st day of cny but she wants to come out early and share the same birthday as my mum .. :)

Me too. Haven't decided on the company yet though. If I don't make it into pills, hubby is going to take it anyway to make smoothie or soup, and I think pills are less gross.

i went for her talk and someone happen to ask this qns and she mentioned that placenta is an organ so there is the dirty part as it remove waste as well, so unless you can find someone with capability to clean it up else you will be consuming the waste portion as well... something along tat line...

Some mummies eat their own placenta in the (scientifically unproven) belief that it will reduce postpartum depression, quicken weight loss and enhance BM production. The very brave ones will cook their placenta (as they would a piece of meat) as part of a dish (pizza, soup etc.) or blend it raw with a smoothie to drink. Unless you've come to a decision how you want to consume it, it's probably not worth bringing it home, lol. Drying it into capsules is the only way I can ever imagine myself eating it, lol.

Ic, thanks. But don't all animal products we eat have waste too? Especially the organs like liver, kidney etc. Even muscle/tissue produces waste matter, and I don't think you can get the butcher to remove the "waste" before selling it to you. Even plants, as with all living things, produce waste. Unless we only eat non living things, we cannot avoid eating waste, but I believe the body has its way of getting rid of waste that we eat. Anyway, I can only trust the company who makes the placenta pills to know to remove the inedible part of the placenta. :p

Haha yeah, I should have figured that out too. I'll pass on girl stuff for now. Not buying any more small bibs and instead, saving up for the big ones.

The placenta acts like a filter, preventing toxins from getting to the baby and it is not good to ingest those toxins.
Are you sure that the preparer is able to properly get rid of the toxins (e.g. heavy metals)? I doubt it. The heavy metals cant be eliminated simply by baking alone since the temperature isnt adequately high

I just called SCBB and they just confirmed to meet me next Friday at TMC as well. The call is quite fast (less than 10 minutes), they just asked for your details and some medical history based on the eligibility list, then they scheduled an appt to meet up with you for the signed consent form.

There is no sample collection box to bring to hospital, just need to bring the original consent formand the gynae will take the cord blood and also 28ml of maternal blood on the day of delivery.

I will pass on this info to my hubby as he was very keen to eat my placenta, and see what he says. But my question is, how did the "heavy metals" get into my body in the 1st place? You don't mean essential minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium, potassium etc, which is needed by the baby anyway? Are you saying that by ingesting the "toxins" from the placenta, instead of my kidneys getting rid of them as they would with all toxins, I risk passing on the "toxins" to the baby thru BM?

In case I cannot persuade hubby to throw away the placenta, at least processing it into capsule form will prevent him from bringing the bloody organ home and preparing it in the kitchen (with the blood all over the kitchen counter and floor, sorry for the gory detail), lol!

heavy metals from environmental pollutants. essential minerals are not heavy metals.

and..i fail to see any reason to re-ingest toxins that have been passed out...
 
and not to mention... the placenta could also have bacteria, e.g. sometimes women defacate while giving birth... or baby passes meconium...are u sure u want that?? gross!

I guess it depends whether you believe the nutrients and minerals stored in the placenta to nourish the bb outweigh the amount of toxins it filters out to protect the bb. Due to the lack of scientific studies either way, it's really hard to say.
