Would have been kind of cool to see but I don't think I would have taken a pic, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta/page/2#post-932620 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:49:22 +0000 edelweiss 932620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband asked to see it but i didn't even think about it--not because i have a problem with it, i was just zoning out after the whole labor process! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta/page/2#post-932590 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:43:37 +0000 Caly 932590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: oh yes!

The image is forever (and I mean forever) burned in my memory. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta/page/2#post-932549 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:37:46 +0000 autumnlove 932549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: Touching it is my goal for my next birth! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta/page/2#post-932528 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:35:03 +0000 mrs. 64 932528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend showed me a pic of hers, not that I requested it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta/page/2#post-932512 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:30:36 +0000 skibobrown 932512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No pictures, but I did ask to see mine. DH and my sister were in the room with me, and they asked why I wanted to see it. I told them that my body grew an entire organ, and I thought that was pretty cool. I wanted to see it before it got thrown away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-932495 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:27:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 932495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really not terribly interested in it. If they hold it up, sure I'll look at it, but it's not something I've thought about at all. And DH is definitely not interested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-932412 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:13:45 +0000 Vegmama 932412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a birth photographer, and my clients like for me to photograph their placentas. Usually, the midwives 'review' it with them, but they like seeing it later. I really love watching the providers analyze it (cord length, etc.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931180 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 06:22:01 +0000 Dandelion 931180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw it with DS, but no pictures. With S, I didn't see it, didn't want to. They didn't even offer, cause they had to get it sent down to the lab. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931138 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 03:27:52 +0000 Sweet T 931138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't. I didn't even want to see it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931125 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 02:25:56 +0000 loveisstrange 931125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell no. Ewww... Although, in hindsight, I should have. Next time, I will, to make sure for myself that its intact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931108 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 00:57:17 +0000 sunny 931108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't occur to me to ask to see it! They had to take it to pathology so maybe they were focused on bagging it up for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931104 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 00:45:38 +0000 Corduroy 931104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was covered in meconium like everything else. That reinforced my tentative plan to not encapsulate. My midwife showed it to me after they rinsed it off. </p> <p> I was surprised that it was bright red. My friend's husband told me how silvery and weird looking his wife's was. So that's what I was expecting. She's a smoker though so I guess that might be the difference? But no, I didn't take a picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931098 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 00:27:44 +0000 lemondrop 931098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had a photo of it! I did ask to see it and did touch it, it was really cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931094 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 23:59:39 +0000 MRSMOMMY 931094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I did, too!! But from what my husband tells me, I'm not sure if it would have been a good idea to see it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931077 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 23:16:36 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 931077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: bahahahhaha ;) I saw enough that day.

I was just so over it by then, plus pretty new baby to hold.

They took him to check his head trauma right as I delivered it, so I was a mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931043 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 22:28:10 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 931043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: WTF, NO!<br /> That never even crossed my mind, like at.all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931039 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 22:25:35 +0000 Arden 931039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course, I was taking photos while DH was encapsulating it for me. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931026 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 22:18:40 +0000 Pepper 931026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I asked to see it after I delivered LO! Pretty cool to see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-931021 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 22:13:26 +0000 MusicaV 931021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH took a picture of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-930920 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:12:45 +0000 betsyboop 930920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I was pushing for so long that once lo was out, I was too tired to even think about the placenta! DH saw it and said it looked like an organ. I really wish I could have seen it! But probably wouldnt have taken a picture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-930918 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:12:07 +0000 tysonja 930918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahah i asked to see it so they held it up for me to take a look, but i never thought of taking a picture!! hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-930916 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:10:58 +0000 Beehive 930916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doula took one (the OB held it up for us to see). It was kind of cool to see it, but definitely didn't make it into the album! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-pictures-of-your-placenta#post-930912 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 21:09:33 +0000 doodlepoodle 930912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never occurred to me to look at it...?
