Nope. I prefer not to see my own internal organs if at all possible... Even if it's one that comes out!
-
I did! It was huge! Well, a lot bigger than I thought it would be!
-
First time, no.
Second time yes!! It was pretty amazing. -
Yes, my on and I were talking about how cool it is!!
-
Yes both times.
I have photos of both too
-
I saw it all three times. They're fascinating!
-
I deliver babies so I've seen lots and I honestly can't remember if I saw mine!
-
I've seen one before, and I think I saw mine. But I was a little too out of it to remember much!!
-
@Ree723: I didn't realize you were expecting again. Congratulations!
-
The nurse asked if I wanted to do "anything special" with the placenta and I said no, and then later realized I should have specified I did at least want to look at it. I very briefly saw it being carried away in a bucket. I wish I had gotten a better look.
-
I saw it (and have pictures) for LO1, but I only took a glance after labor with LO2. I encapsulated both times. I find them cool in a gross sorta way!
@littlejoy: ha, I have those hearts too! I'd feel weird about throwing them away, but I need to finally get them out of the fridge. Maybe I should bury them when we finally buy a house?? What are you planning to do?
-
@sometimesshesings: Ours is just in a little silk bag. It's in my LO's keepsakes box. Funny enough, my mom hassle piece of mine in my baby book. Weird, but kind of cool to know its there.
-
No, I didn't see mine, but I've seen someone else's when I was in school. It was really neat!
-
No I never asked! I think it was packaged up and sent to a lab for analysis so I don't think they could have showed me.
-
Yes! The midwives gave us a 'tour' both times- showed us the parts of it, where the cord attached. I didn't expect it to be so big!
-
Yep, both times. I had a velamentous cord insertion with my first, so my doctors and I geeked out big time with that one. Its kind of funny because the first photo my husband took after I gave birth was of the placenta. The second time I had to look at it so I could see what a normal placenta and cord looked like.
-
No, I had a c-section so I missed a lot of that type of stuff, which is fine because it probably would have freaked me out a little bit.
-
No but I'm not sure I would have wanted to!
-
No, I didn't want to... it was too weird for me LOL
-
Yes, my midwife and her team brought it over and showed it to me. I guess it was wrinkly or curly or some kind of odd shape, so they were all excited about it. It was pretty neat.
-
@LovelyPlum: Thank you! We're at 20 weeks now so halfway there!
-
Yes! I got the "full tour" from my nurse! So cool!
