Should I Eat My Placenta?

Whether or not to eat your placenta after childbirth is a personal decision that should be made in consultation with your doctor or healthcare provider. There is some evidence to suggest that eating the placenta may have health benefits, such as reducing postpartum depression, increasing milk supply, and improving iron levels. However, there is also some evidence that suggests that eating the placenta may have potential risks, such as the transmission of harmful bacteria or viruses. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to eat your placenta should be based on your individual circumstances and preferences.
