Re: [ozmidwifery] Placenta and post natal depression

Hi, All,   I heard that segment; it was interesting the way it was handled presenting various attitudes, but overall came out positively. One man said he was going to eat some, but his partner (the mother) was not!   Placenta soup was a post-partum must with a very religious group I spent some time with in Israel over 20 years ago. It's a pity I didn't eat my two; I was absolutely craving almost-raw meat while surrounded by vegetarians with the first birth! The second was better, lots of meat.   Aviva ----- Original Message ----- From: Karen Arthur To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 13, 2002 11:06 AM Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] Placenta and post natal depression Hi Veronica   A couple of months ago Triple J did a segment on eating the placenta and interviewed a couple of women who told of the many benefits - including (if memory serves me correctly) reducing the risk of PND.  The Triple J website may have the interview details.  It was on the last Tuesday in August.   Good luck!   Karen -----Original Message----- From: Veronica Herbert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, 12 October 2002 8:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ozmidwifery] Placenta and post natal depression   Hello List, I am doing a research proposal around the topic of eating placenta and post natal depression and am having some trouble finding research on this topic.  Does anyone know of any that is out there?? thanks Veronica Herbert (Midwifery Student,University of Ballarat)
