Very good question. I've been asking my husband the same question. I'm almost due for delivery and Ive been asking him about how we're going to dispose it. @poster, Its something that must never get into the wrong hands especially in this part of the world where some unscrupulous elements are trying to get rich quick. 29 Likes |

glowshine: Many people have that fears that if it get into a wrong hand, something wrong might happen later (Some believe it is superstitious ). Some even believe it must be the husband that must take care of it. For example some usually use a slang in the Yoruba land that "Aja je ibi omo e" which means "A promiscuous lady's placenta is probably eaten by a dog". However, I remember a friend told me he threw one placenta into the river when his wife gave birth to her second child as he can't pass through the tedious task of finding where to bury the first one ![]() He also said he can't tell his wife the situation as he don't know how the wife will take the matter maybe lightly or not. 13 Likes 1 Share |

If the hospital offers to, just let them take care of it. It’s medical waste/biohazard and one less thing for you to worry about. 11 Likes |

cococandy: I think this is the correct word "Medical Waste". That is what it should be. Instead of us stressing our brains on what to do with it. I remember for my first time. I told my mum and she told me to go get a small pot called "ikoko agbe'bi" which means "Pot for Placenta". After getting the pot she asked me to rub the inner part of the pot with red oil (I guess that signifies calmness) before putting the Placenta then to bury it afterwards. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

expert1:Yep you got it. It is indeed the official medical term for it. Anything we remove from the human body (surgically, after birth, poop, urine, body parts etc) is considered biohazard because it can be a source of infection to another person if not disposed of properly. But it’s true that people do have traditions surrounding the placenta. I don’t have anything against those. Most of them are really just symbolic anyway . If they insist on dealing with it their traditional way, all they need is a little bit of education on how to help prevent spreading diseases and infections. I would only just advice those who are confused and don’t know how to handle it to leave it to the medical professionals. 1 Like |

efficiencie: This suggestion is ideal and very reasonable too. I think once it is burnt, you don't need to stress in burying it again. you can flush the burnt elements. ![]() 1 Like |
