@@AshErin8304they don’t offer the info that you can take it cause it’s worth 50,000 USD. they want to make money off your body. Always take it and don’t let anyone make money off of you if you aren’t compensated. Take the placenta always!
I’m in New Zealand too and just planted my daughter’s placenta about 2 months ago under a Rose, the variety of Rose is called my sweetheart. My placenta was in the freezer for 16 months awaiting the right plant ❤ Not weird at all and totally normal here in New Zealand ❤
In our culture, it’s normal to bury the placentas on family/ancestral land, it’s like your giving back to Mother Earth, and connecting yourself to your ancestors 💛
My parents planted the placenta from my birth in the front yard with a mini evergreen. It was supposed to grow to 4-5 feet tall at most, and it grew to be probably close to 10 feet tall and 4 feet around. I was so sad when we had to sell when i was 10 and the new buyers cut it down for a lame tiny bird bath. I LOVE the idea of a fruit tree. It will grow big and strong, with all of your help❤
@@lisastenzel5713 I didn't even think about taking part of it with me! We weren't sure where we were gonna end up--we had to sell the house bc my mom got laid off 8 mo preggo in 2007--so we couldn't take the whole tree. But we totally should have at least kept a branch!! I'll make sure to do that with special trees I have to leave in the future, ty for the idea!!
I heard that before. I didn't know it was from Poland. I am in Germany and my grandparents used to talk about this sometimes. They are both gone now. But I think they did all if this too. Well, part of a house at least. My grandpa and my uncle build a second level onto part of the house my uncle bought. But my uncle is actually able to build a house. He worked on building sights all the time
@@lisastenzel5713 it's not from poland excusively. it's popular in all post-soviet, slavic, baltic countries. i am from kazakhstan and this phrase is popular too.
My OB held up my placenta for my son’s father to see and I loved that she did that because she caught his wimpy yet controlling vibes and wanted to make him shudder. Oh he about passed out. Best thing she could’ve done. Thanks doc❤
This isnt strange at all. Im from Aotearoa me Te Wai Pounamu (New Zealand) and the traditional Māori way of doing things is to plant the placenta in your ancestral lands/at your marae (community meeting house). It ties your child to the land and the people of that land (your child's community). It also gives back to the land, which is important for a multitude of reasons.
Here in Brasil it's a tradicion to bury your umbilical cord in your home backyard so you can die close to home in the future/ prevents you from getting lost on the paths of life
I am Navajo (Diné) which is an Indigenous tribe in the U.S. and we have a tradition where the umbilical cord is buried close to the family home. This is a sacred tradition. I really like that you are doing what you feel. I think it’s a special and natural concept to plant the placenta in your home’s yard. ❤️
I live in Arizona (a couple of hours away from the Navajo reservation) and watching Camilla and Julie dig that nice soft soil made me jealous! The ground here is so hard and rocky that it would me way way longer to dig a hole that size! Love these kinds of meaningful traditions! I am 28 weeks pregnant and looking into some options for after I give birth. 🩷
Off topic but can you please tell me more about skinwalker. I had seen a creature and when I described it to my friend she said it might be a skinwalker. Tbh I was terrified.
My mom planeted hers under a mango tree in our yard in el salvador...she said that was one if the hardest things to part with when we immigrated to california...i think its amazing and so sweet
Pink Lady apple growing is not ideal for every climate. The trees take about 200 days to reach harvest time, and they grow best in hot weather. Because of this, they can be nearly impossible to grow in climates with late spring frosts and mild summers. They are most commonly grown in their native Australia.
That is actually part of old traditions. In Turkey keeping placenta is not always possible as most hospitals will not give it to you but at least the umbilical cord is put under a tree when fall off. It is believed that the baby will have ties to the place you bury the cord.
She had a home birth BUT In the US they legally cannot tell you no, so if someone told you no, then I’d light up a fricking phone. Someone would be getting chewed out for an hour or so and then some… It’s your body, you get to decide what’s done with the parts. For any kind of surgery! Remember that. If they say no, go somewhere else. They are not following standard practices and that’s always a sign of something super sus.
The tree is such a cute and lasting idea! ❤ However I wanted to mention the possibility to donate the placenta after birth! It's full of stem cells that can really help people such as burn victims, diabetic patients with ulcers and other types of wound repair! Also, eating your placenta is generally not a good idea. There are risks. The placenta can spread bacteria like group B strep, and it can potentially have enough estrogens to have a negative impact on milk supply during breastfeeding. Not meant to judge, I respect that for some people it's cultural and traditional. I just wanted to inform! :)

Here in NZ, it's māori culture to bury our placentas pretty much exactly like this. The placenta is called whenua, which also means land. We believe the placenta should go back to mother earth. I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant and this is what I'm going to do to ground my pepis to our whenua
Omg my parents did this with mine too!!! They planted it under a white cherry blossom tree in the middle of our yard, and every year it continues to flourish and bloom. Love it and definitely wanna do it with my children one day.
Wow this is so cool. Lots of Māori(New Zealand) do this exact thing also, in our language the term for placenta is the same as the term for land ‘whenua’❤️
Yes! I’m pakeha, but live In New Zealand and my parents did this for me ❤ my parents moved to New Zealand before I was born so they are very in touch with Māori culture
I’ll also add that the tree grows at the same rate if the child because if natraul things in the plecenta so it’s really cute to see when the child grows up
There's a homesteading channel I follow that did this with all of their children and I thought it was such a cool way of using the placenta. Definitely something I'll do if I ever have kids.
It was very common to compost placenta and all the after birth. Supposedly made garden harvest very abundant and delicious. Hope the tree has a very long and happy life.😊
I’m a horticulture student and everyone in the comments should just know that all of your organic fruit and vegetables are grown with cows blood and ground up fishes. Organic matter goes back to the earth. It’s ok 😊
We must give back to the earth, in case we want her to continue to nourish us! I, personally believe that if we continue to bury humans, we should look for a way to make it beneficial for the future. Perhaps not encasing the remains in stone or artificial substances. We can use our own bodies to provide for the future. It's not disrespectful to place our predecessors back in the arms of Mother Nature.
I’ve heard people say the placenta is like a tree of life especially when the veins look like branches and the shape of the placenta looks like a tree top of some sorts
My midwife actually showed my husband and I the tree with out last bub and it was really cool to see. Apparently the neurons in our brains resemble the early structure of seedlings also, which is pretty cool
I’ve just been to Bali and Hindus actually bury the placenta in the garden and consider it as the child’s brother and sister. They do rituals every morning to thank it and ask for their children’s protection for the rest of their life ❤ it’s called Ari Ari
it wasnt only for Balinese, but I think most if Indonesians bury their placenta in their house garden. Javanese put a little basket with a small lamp on top of it, up until 40 days.
New Zealand indigenous people Māori, (called Tangata Whenua(people of the land of Aotearoa(New Zealand) called the placenta “whenua”, and also the land is called whenua. Māori have always put the whenua from a woman , back to the land just like this! However many Māori would never freeze the placenta, as it’s not appropriate…. Because placenta are connected to the spiritual (wairua) side of the baby
@@darkacadpresenceinblood yeah I know. I didn't mean to sound like I was saying they were. I just think it's probably something that has played a part in how it's viewed. If the Maori lived in an area with cold winters, they probably wouldn't see freezing a placenta as inappropriate.
You might want to bring that tree up in the hole to ensure it has a long healthy life. Look up what the flare is and how deep to plant it. Best of luck with a happy healthy child and tree!!
this is actually a tradition in many pacific islander cultures, and its with the belief that the placenta returns to mother nature. this symbolizes an embrace of the cyclic motherhood + the maternal perception of nature. super cool
The practice of placenta burial has been used for thousands of years by many different cultures, such as the native Hawaiian, Navajo, and Maori tribes. Many cultures also partake in the consumption of the placenta. These traditions bear great significance to those who practice them, symbolizing a deep connection between the newborn and the earth or promoting health benefits. Nothing gross or weird about it🤍
My placenta is still in the freezer. My boy is two years old now. 🙈 we just haven't had a great opportunity to plant something yet. We live in a flat in the city with no garden.
my parents did this in our front yard when i was born. the tree was about the size of the one you planted, maybe a little larger. now its a fully grown tree i could climb and sit in. we no longer live there and haven’t since i was young but i think about it every time i drive by
Well...my mom did this but she didn't get to it until I was like nine 😂 it seemed normal to have it at the back of the freezer...guess it was a bit weird but I never questioned it as a kid 🤣
If you really want to do something meaningful with your plasenta, you can ask your doctor if they can freeze it in a sanitary area, so if your child gets cancer in the future, they can use that plasenta that was in the hospital for years to do bone marrow transplant or some other kind of medical treatment. Or even you can donate it to hospital so they can do transplant on some other patient.
That’s the umbilical cord with stem cells to save not the placenta, and it’s extremely expensive to pay the yearly or monthly costs to a private company that freezes and cares for the cord during those years.
@@busenehircakir - checking online, while there were a few pros as well, these are the cons that they listed for storing the cord contents… Cons Some disadvantages of cord blood banking include the following: Cord blood does not contain many stem cells, which means that adults needing a transplant will require cord blood stem cells from multiple donors. People have to pay a fee for storing cord blood in a private bank, which could prove costly. Some hospitals may charge a small fee for a public collection. People must decide and plan for cord blood donation upfront and provide their consent before labor starts. Privately banking cord blood may not be any more effective than undergoing a transplant of stem cells from a stranger. Not all hospitals will collect cord blood for public storage. Not everyone is eligible to donate cord blood. 🙂
We did the same and the rose we planted is getting so big so quickly! It is a very common thing to do in Germany and I don't see why it sounds strange to some 🤷
Why were you scared?! Placenta is edible and in some cultures it is the tradition to consume it as part of the celebration of the new baby. It is usually made into a kind of paté and served as such.
I donated my first one. They use the cord blood to help people with certain diseases and use it for skin grafts,research, etc. was pretty cool. I just had my daughter three months ago and couldn’t donate this time because I had a partial placental abruption. We are all good and healthy which is what matters but i wish I could have donated again.
Holy moly I like this idea soo much better than eating it (no offense, I just could not imagine doing that, but not trying to judge!) What a sweet idea this is instead!
We do it in my culutre fur tribe in suda you place it by the right side of the front door with a tree i forgot what trea we plant but yeah beautifull ancient tradition ofmy people.
The amazing thing about this , is your treet will develop as your baby grows and represent your baby my mum did the same thing with lemon trees with all 4 of my siblings and all 4 trees represent my siblings and grow as my siblings do is this makes sense
So what I've learned, if anyone else plans on doing it, let it decompose for a year then plant over it, it'll be better for your plant. And don't choose something you plan on eating, placentas are meant to filter out harmful waste so your plant is going to absorb stuff you wouldn't want to be eating from.
Not all plants absorb harmful levels of stuff you wouldn't like to eat. Also, livers and kidneys filter out harmful stuff, yet we eat them directly. Eating fruit from a tree planted over a placenta isn't going to harm you. Especially since that won't be a primary food source and it'll take years until that tree even produces any fruit.
Aw no this is actually really sweet! Way better than consuming it, in my opinion. Y’all can never sell that house now lol, it has your dna inside and out! (Literally and figuratively speaking) 😂
@@Random_Edits290 yeah they do cause ppl believe if they dry it and eat it they’ll get back a ton of nutrients that went into the placenta while pregnant. Some even put it in vitamin capsules
planting one of your organs in the ground to nourish a tree’s growth is metal as hell, the visual is absolutely terrifying but I love it, 10/10 feels like a nightvale tradition
Absolutely amazing! I didn't know you could ask for your placenta. I live in United States so I don't know if maybe it's different where you live or I just didn't know. I never heard anybody do anything like this till you mentioned it. Thank you for sharing!
If im not wrong if you don’t ask for your placenta in us hospitals they get to keep it and then sell it for a lot of money. But you can’t since you know illegal
The US allows you to keep your placenta (unless it has a possible injection). You are required to take it though. They can’t store or handle it after the birth so a partner would need to bring a cooler and take it home. (At least at the hospital in Texas I was at) (And I didn’t want it but they gave me the option)
This is a good idea as long as it’s incorporated well into the soil, More for pest control and ground predator animals so the smell for their really great noses dissipates quickly. This might seem way way weird to people far outside of the Arctic Circle but hey, they are pretty much just sticking to the over all Arctic mottos, environmental and wildlife stewardship and waste nothing, except with a touching message to last for decades.
You are allowed to keep any of your body parts that a hospital take from you. If you get amputated then you can ask them to give it back and they will. Same with the placenta and umbilical cord.
@@dontcallmeblanca3594 not the case everywhere. In my EU country it is considered medical waste snd vivid ot to a person would be a safety hazard. 😅 but they gave birth at home.

@@Orchidaceous1 holy shit??? but that makes sense I guess.

Why so many weird comments going on here, there’s nothing wrong in this video😅 animals eat their placenta after giving birth, human can do that too, don’t judge if you’re not clever enough. Planting it also seems like a good idea too, it’s way more better than throwing them away.

However many Māori would never freeze the placenta, as it’s not appropriate…. Because placenta are connected to the spiritual (wairua) side of the baby
They probably also don't have freezing winters with snow and frozen ground preventing them from burying them for like five months of the year.
@@bratatouillei... don't think they were saying Julie and Camilla are in the wrong for freezing it lol, just saying it's done differently over there
@@darkacadpresenceinblood yeah I know. I didn't mean to sound like I was saying they were. I just think it's probably something that has played a part in how it's viewed. If the Maori lived in an area with cold winters, they probably wouldn't see freezing a placenta as inappropriate.
You might want to bring that tree up in the hole to ensure it has a long healthy life. Look up what the flare is and how deep to plant it. Best of luck with a happy healthy child and tree!!
this is actually a tradition in many pacific islander cultures, and its with the belief that the placenta returns to mother nature. this symbolizes an embrace of the cyclic motherhood + the maternal perception of nature. super cool
Im from Germany and I did the exact same Thing. I just waited a little bit longer and my Daughter helped us to plant the Tree. And it was beautiful
I donated mine because it will help cancer patients.
That's a saving a life. Instead of eating it gross. I'd rather donate mine to somebody so they can live❤
The practice of placenta burial has been used for thousands of years by many different cultures, such as the native Hawaiian, Navajo, and Maori tribes. Many cultures also partake in the consumption of the placenta. These traditions bear great significance to those who practice them, symbolizing a deep connection between the newborn and the earth or promoting health benefits. Nothing gross or weird about it🤍
My mom did this. Not to be morbid but when i die I want to be aquamated and planted with a tree 😊
Me too!!!
I’m going to be composted! Sending my dirt to the forest service to use for erosion abatement. 😂❤
Can we just appreciate that beautiful hole Camilla dug? It’s so perfect
Genuinely better than eating it so, I love it!
Such a lovely way to honour the organ that kept baby Sunny alive for 9 months, now it'll nourish this special tree too ~ so sweet 🌿💚
If you move you can always take a cutting and propagate it
Love that idea. It's one of the reasons I'm putting off planting mine because we may move x
My placenta is still in the freezer. My boy is two years old now. 🙈 we just haven't had a great opportunity to plant something yet. We live in a flat in the city with no garden.
I’d rather you take it home than the hospital profiting off it if you had them discarded it. (Those things apparently go for 50.000)
Ok but who's buying it and why?
for the love of christ
I buried mine under a tree next to the tree where the placenta from when I was born was planted :)
Your placenta, your rules. Rock on!
Wohooo!! Yeah rock it 🤘😄
my parents did this in our front yard when i was born. the tree was about the size of the one you planted, maybe a little larger. now its a fully grown tree i could climb and sit in. we no longer live there and haven’t since i was young but i think about it every time i drive by
Well...my mom did this but she didn't get to it until I was like nine 😂 it seemed normal to have it at the back of the freezer...guess it was a bit weird but I never questioned it as a kid 🤣
My kids are 11 and 12....still haven't got around to it
This is very common in New Zealand ☺️
I wanted to do this but I don’t have a house…a bit weird to just plant it at our apartment complex 😅
Would it be good for a large potted plant? Do you have space for one outdoors or indoors?
@@clairer342 it’s too late now since I had my baby in November, but maybe you could do that.
If you really want to do something meaningful with your plasenta, you can ask your doctor if they can freeze it in a sanitary area, so if your child gets cancer in the future, they can use that plasenta that was in the hospital for years to do bone marrow transplant or some other kind of medical treatment. Or even you can donate it to hospital so they can do transplant on some other patient.
Great idea if you give birth in a hospital, but they had a home birth, so maybe not an option…😉
That’s the umbilical cord with stem cells to save not the placenta, and it’s extremely expensive to pay the yearly or monthly costs to a private company that freezes and cares for the cord during those years.
@@Seaturtle2004 I live in Turkey and it is really not that expensive here. Donation can be a great option if it is so expensive.
@@busenehircakir - checking online, while there were a few pros as well, these are the cons that they listed for storing the cord contents…
Cons
Some disadvantages of cord blood banking include the following:
Cord blood does not contain many stem cells, which means that adults needing a transplant will require cord blood stem cells from multiple donors.
People have to pay a fee for storing cord blood in a private bank, which could prove costly.
Some hospitals may charge a small fee for a public collection.
People must decide and plan for cord blood donation upfront and provide their consent before labor starts.
Privately banking cord blood may not be any more effective than undergoing a transplant of stem cells from a stranger.
Not all hospitals will collect cord blood for public storage.
Not everyone is eligible to donate cord blood.
🙂
I have a placenta tree for each of my babies
That’s sweet and uniquely weird at the same time! Lol it’s a neat way to end a cycle and grow into a new beginning! 😊
We did the same and the rose we planted is getting so big so quickly! It is a very common thing to do in Germany and I don't see why it sounds strange to some 🤷
Also für mich klingt es bisschen verrückt auch wenn ich’s total supporte und cool finde! Wusste nicht, dass man das hier öfter macht
We did the same. We planted a pear tree. Yeah, Germany
I didnt even know that was an option noone in the hospital asked if i wanted to keep it
@@fairy.sky.2022 in Germany? They usually ask at the hospital.
I was SCARED !
I thought you were gonna cook it or something 🤣🤣🤣
samee 💀
Ridiculous 😮
Why were you scared?! Placenta is edible and in some cultures it is the tradition to consume it as part of the celebration of the new baby. It is usually made into a kind of paté and served as such.
@@takemeaway285i’m sorry, but i would throw up. that’s disgusting
@@meghan_.Do you eat animal products?
I donated my first one. They use the cord blood to help people with certain diseases and use it for skin grafts,research, etc. was pretty cool. I just had my daughter three months ago and couldn’t donate this time because I had a partial placental abruption. We are all good and healthy which is what matters but i wish I could have donated again.
My parents did the exact same thing after they had my baby sister. And my mom also given birth at home
Love for you, Cam and the baby❤❤❤
Holy moly I like this idea soo much better than eating it (no offense, I just could not imagine doing that, but not trying to judge!) What a sweet idea this is instead!
Planting the placenta is apart of First Nations culture. So definitely not weird at all!☺️
We do it in my culutre fur tribe in suda you place it by the right side of the front door with a tree i forgot what trea we plant but yeah beautifull ancient tradition ofmy people.
I thought you said "we've been putting it in ice-cream, the fruit and meals" and I was like "sooo your like using it as a topping"😂
Lolol
The amazing thing about this , is your treet will develop as your baby grows and represent your baby my mum did the same thing with lemon trees with all 4 of my siblings and all 4 trees represent my siblings and grow as my siblings do is this makes sense
So what I've learned, if anyone else plans on doing it, let it decompose for a year then plant over it, it'll be better for your plant. And don't choose something you plan on eating, placentas are meant to filter out harmful waste so your plant is going to absorb stuff you wouldn't want to be eating from.
Not all plants absorb harmful levels of stuff you wouldn't like to eat. Also, livers and kidneys filter out harmful stuff, yet we eat them directly. Eating fruit from a tree planted over a placenta isn't going to harm you. Especially since that won't be a primary food source and it'll take years until that tree even produces any fruit.
Aw no this is actually really sweet! Way better than consuming it, in my opinion. Y’all can never sell that house now lol, it has your dna inside and out! (Literally and figuratively speaking) 😂
Imagine the next people who will live there, being so excited for the peach cobbler to cool off , then somehow find this video 😂😂😂😂
As a doula, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
in Indonesia, we also like to bury our placenta! and my mom also plant a tree above where she burried mine & my siblings' placenta
My mom did this i love it. Mine is a apricot tree 🌳
When I was growing up, my favorite tree in our yard was an apricot tree! My mama made the most amazing apricot pineapple jam!☺️❤️
I like this way better than eating it
wtf people eat it😟 I will never look at any meet the same😭
@@Random_Edits290 yeah they do cause ppl believe if they dry it and eat it they’ll get back a ton of nutrients that went into the placenta while pregnant. Some even put it in vitamin capsules
Disgusting there's no evidence of health benefits. I just did the research the gross
planting one of your organs in the ground to nourish a tree’s growth is metal as hell, the visual is absolutely terrifying but I love it, 10/10 feels like a nightvale tradition
Absolutely amazing! I didn't know you could ask for your placenta. I live in United States so I don't know if maybe it's different where you live or I just didn't know. I never heard anybody do anything like this till you mentioned it. Thank you for sharing!
If im not wrong if you don’t ask for your placenta in us hospitals they get to keep it and then sell it for a lot of money. But you can’t since you know illegal
The US allows you to keep your placenta (unless it has a possible injection). You are required to take it though. They can’t store or handle it after the birth so a partner would need to bring a cooler and take it home.
(At least at the hospital in Texas I was at)
(And I didn’t want it but they gave me the option)
This is a good idea as long as it’s incorporated well into the soil, More for pest control and ground predator animals so the smell for their really great noses dissipates quickly. This might seem way way weird to people far outside of the Arctic Circle but hey, they are pretty much just sticking to the over all Arctic mottos, environmental and wildlife stewardship and waste nothing, except with a touching message to last for decades.
They allow u to keep the placenta? Most hospitals take away the placenta for their own stem cell research
In my state in the USA, it’s optional, they ask if you want to keep, use for research or destroy.
They had a home birth
You are allowed to keep any of your body parts that a hospital take from you. If you get amputated then you can ask them to give it back and they will. Same with the placenta and umbilical cord.
@@dontcallmeblanca3594some states will not allow you to take body parts home, like teeth or limbs or organs
@@dontcallmeblanca3594 not the case everywhere. In my EU country it is considered medical waste snd vivid ot to a person would be a safety hazard. 😅 but they gave birth at home.
(I have two placentas in my deep freeze and my kids are about to turn 13 and 15.5. I bow to you
Yes! I have found someone like me! My are 11 and 12 and still haven't got around to it and was feeling a little silly. Good to hear 😁 Will 2024 be the year for us!? 🤔🤭
Y'all better hurry because if y'all pass away in some kinda freak accident you know damn well your kids will be throwing their placenta in the trash
No youre not crazy! This is genius and just so cute.❤ love you both and ofc sunny 😊
There are people who eat their babies' placenta????
Yes, I’ve heard women say that they had their midwife dehydrate and encapsulate it for them with the goal of getting back nutrients and balancing hormones.
@@Orchidaceous1 holy shit??? but that makes sense I guess. I'm just not used to the idea of eating placenta because the custom in my culture is to bury it and then the ground with like a basket and putting lamp inside the bucket. I thought everywhere else people were just burying it. Thank you for the explanation, it's a very interesting thing to learn
They do that in poor countries some people get pregnant just to eat the placenta and not about the child
Yep. I know this because I have a type. Don't ask.
@@Orchidaceous1There is no medical benefit to eating placenta. In some cases it causes infection, so it is a low-risk, no-reward situation.
My mother in law planted hers with a tree for each of her two youngest daughters. I love the idea
There's gonna be a full fruit garden back there and we're all for it!
I wish I had done this with all of my babies. It’s such a beautiful ritual💗
It's gross. No one cares. It's obsessive.
@@quartzidot4202 Obsessive. Says the one who on every video comments about how they know the relationship of some strangers better than those people themselves.
@@Tanrna I'm not claiming I know better or know everything. I just believe they are not free from criticism.
@@quartzidot4202the comments you’ve left on other videos from them state otherwise. 🙄
@Zelda_eq Again, I'm not claiming the final say in their relationship. I'm saying they aren't free from criticism because YOU ALL THINK, Key word, THINK they are happy. I'm just saying I'm seeing red flags and you guys aren't. Yes, the placenta thing is my opinion. But guess what, everyone has one. People should expect both sides of opinions in their comments. I also want to say that I don't wish ill will for them, I want them to be happy, but they are stuck in their own bubble.
Aww, my dad did this for me and my little sister. Vi har ett bok träd var (:
Absolutely LOVE this idea, Mamas!
Listen, it wasn't in my fridge so I don't care 😂
But seriously, that's pretty cool.
I learn about this tradition few years ago and decide when I have children in the future I am going to do it, I so happy you did it , I think it is so cute , it's like a symbol of family and love❤❤❤
This is amazing! And having the birds fly over you guys and blue skies and everything it was absolutely perfect ladies. It’s something we’d do too! It’s definitely not weird at all! Much loves! 💛 🤟🏼
Why so many weird comments going on here, there’s nothing wrong in this video😅 animals eat their placenta after giving birth, human can do that too, don’t judge if you’re not clever enough. Planting it also seems like a good idea too, it’s way more better than throwing them away.
It’s not the burial that’s disgusting it’s the fact it was there for 7 months in the freezer with edible food
And human eats plancenta it's called cannibalism
@@stag_gt the same food that was either grown in manure or produced that manure?
@@shawnas7984 food is taken to a factory and cleaned and properly packaged , that isn’t
Eating your placenta is made weird tf
At least you're not eating it
We did this 26 years ago with our 1st child.
You can also donate it to be used in research or for other medical procedures
That’s what I did. It seemed like the best thing
Probably more practical if you give birth in the hospital - they had a home birth :)
Lovely idea! 🎋
Uuh i dont even know what to say bcs im not educated but i am very skeptical
Donating the placenta is also a wonderful option that can help treat cancer 💕
My mum did this ❤ beautiful
You gals are just the best ❤
I love this!
This is such a cute idea! ❤
Love that the tree will grow big and strong along with baby boy! And you’ll be nourishing a local ecosystem and providing a haven for critters and birds. So sweet!
My mother got 11k for my placenta, we were poor our whole lives- WHERE IS THE PLACENTIA MOTHER??
Aw that's so cool! Love you guys
