With my first birth, I don’t think I even noticed the placenta. With the second, I was determined to pay more 
attention to this wonderful organ that nourished J for 9 months, so asked to keep it. It is still in the freezer, having come with us when we moved house. I think we may make it part of the foundations of our new extension. With the next baby, though, not only do I want to see the placenta, I’d also like to have something prepared to do with it. Some people plant a tree on top to commemorate the child’s birth, or you could send off for one of these placenta art kits.
Fab and brill, I ate mine, so did a few other people at my birthday party and I am proud to say that the story was on Home Truths and John Peel himself said ‘prettily put Lisa’ when I said I only wanted to eat the thing so I could tell people I made it myself!
You can dry them out and use the resulting powder to ward off post natal depression apparantly. As a pate it was pretty gross, the cat didn’t want any but my vegan friends chomped into the stuff.

I planted mine underneath a cherry blossom tree, that flowers every year early April, which is when my son was born.
