UM, absolutely NOT! I'm all for natural things, bu that's a bit much for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth#post-104138 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:10:35 +0000 MsMini 104138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard about it but all I can think about is the risk of sepsis from leaving a chunk of meat attached to your baby to rot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth#post-104132 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:07:58 +0000 chopsuey 104132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. Definitely NOT something I would do.. :P So weird.<br /> That means you'd have a dried up placenta and cord attached for.. 10-14 days? Eek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth#post-104112 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:55:31 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 104112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lotus birth is when you leave the placenta and umbilical cord attached to the baby until it falls off naturally. Has anyone ever heard of this or done it? I came across it on a forum a couple of days ago. It's definitely not something I could do! </p>
