Re: [ozmidwifery] Dear Jo

Well, Sally, some. A lady had a home-birth here earlier this year, but I believe her midwife came from Geelong. (I only have the story 2nd hand) Several midwives in the area have had homebirths. If she'd like to contact me, I'd love to talk to her. We need more homebirth action around here. Lo

Hello listers,  my understanding of placentophagy is that cooking it reduces the beneficial effects of the hormones.  Placentophagy is a commonly practised among our Community Midwifery Program and private home birth clients.  I prepare the pieces in a similar way as described by Sally W.  R
