Our second placenta encapsulation
That's right. Just like with our second child, we again encapsulated the placenta with this birth. I'm not going to type too much about it this time, as the journal entry about the last one has all the info about it.
So, without further adieu... here are the pictures. BIG WARNING! These are GRAPHIC pictures of a once-inside-me organ being cooked up, sliced up, and ground up into a powder that is then put into pill capsules for me to consume. If you are sane (unlike me, haha) and don't want to see these pictures, I'd highly advise clicking the red "x" button in the upper right corner of your browser window. ;-)
Gwyddion steaming the placenta:
The side of the placenta that faced me (when it was inside me):
Side of the placenta that faced the baby:
This picture seems like it belongs in an Alfred Hitchcock movie scene:
Mmmm... chopped up placenta jerky:
Ready to be ground up:
Placenta powder:
Filling the pill capsules:
Finished product! Voila, my placenta pills!:
There ya have it. We did this about two days after Brigit was born. The first couple pictures have the wrong date on them, btw... but I was too lazy to go back and change them, lol... oh well.
