I know there are some expecting parents in our midsts here. I recently became a father and while we were expecting, we took a birthing class taught by a doula (she was amazing) She mentioned that some women like to eat their placenta as a way to nourish themselves after labor. Apparently it helps with postpartum blues as well as increasing breast milk supply etc. -this just seems uber creepy and canabalistic to me (I'm not judging, just my initial reaction).

Do any of you have any experience with this?

By the way some women encapsulate the placenta.
