I have never heard of this prior to reading this article! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111804 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:33:43 +0000 junebugmama 1111804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually have 3 friends who have done this. It didn't really bother me or smell when I was around them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111793 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 22:27:04 +0000 Penny Lane 1111793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>seems... stinky. haha! not something I would be keen on doing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111688 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:18:59 +0000 sarac 1111688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NOPE. No thank you. This coming from the woman still nursing her 2 year old. NOPE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111491 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:30:27 +0000 Corduroy 1111491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked my doula about it merely out of curiosity. She had attended a few lotus births so I guess people really are doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111477 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:27:11 +0000 MapleMoose 1111477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nurses told us about it at our birthing class because someone asked about it. Sounds gross and unsanitary. Imagine the smell... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111451 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:14:29 +0000 MsMini 1111451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds gross to me as well, and if your baby ends up admitted to hospital for whatever reason (jaundice, etc) the placenta will be immediately removed from them due to infection risk.</p> <p>Also, no animal would ever leave the placenta attached, even dogs will naturally chew the cord off close to its puppies, so why do people think it is a good idea? It boggles my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111440 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:07:55 +0000 runsyellowlites 1111440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heard of it.... a little more <i>natural</i> than my taste. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111438 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:06:13 +0000 avivoca 1111438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds kinda gross to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111422 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:57:56 +0000 MsLipGloss 1111422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had not heard of it before. Sounds too risky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111396 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:36:44 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1111396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard of it before. Sounds like a good way to get an infection if you ask me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lotus-birth-2#post-1111389 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 18:33:28 +0000 Ginabean3 1111389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you heard of this?<br /> <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2432412/The-craziest-birthing-fad-lotus-birthing-newborns-left-placenta-attached-10-days.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2432412/The-craziest-birthing-fad-lotus-birthing-newborns-left-placenta-attached-10-days.html</a></p> <p>This is the first time I've heard of something like this! </p>
