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.

Don't worry when maturity catches up with u then u understand.So painful alot of us youth are no longer inquisitive about life changing things that concerns us.
I as am example when my wife gave birth the doctor brought it to me and even educated me on what to do with it and why .

We better wake up from it's well generation we claim to be

It happens...sad enough.it does!

KimK made her family eat her kid's placenta one time.
Heard such about hospitals doing it.

Don't doubt.its the truth.

TarOrfeeek:
Some Doctors normally use it to eat rice and stew.

They say it's more nutritious than beef.

MufasaLion:


Well, you think they can use it for something bad?

Don't believe in shit like that.

OpinionCounts:


They can't do nothing with it except you believe they can.
They are not greater than the Almighty God that created the child.

By our thoughts and conscious acceptance we give power to all these powerless elements.

sben2308:


Alot of us don't believe in shit like this also until we encounter life itself in real form .See I advise we live ur life with an open mind that there is world n world because ask urself how can a person doing well overseas come back home with nothing all because someone called his name and told him to b coming home without seeing the person just heard the voice ?
See this life

cococandy:

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.

MufasaLion:


Oh, noted.

So one can just ask the clinic to dispose it, right?

HARMYMY:


Some of we youth are not proactive
Rather reactive.

MufasaLion:


Well, I've heard couple of stories about that anyways.

Ikwerelastborn:

Anything we remove from the body is a medical waste not a biohazard . Biohazard is already a non cause of body injury which a medical waste is not

Bigchristo:
Don’t make such mistakes of asking the clinic to dispose it for you, my 3kids the placentas was buried by me. It doesn’t matter where you bury it so far it’s safe to decay there without nobody going there to uproot it.

sben2308:



Nd no goosebumps?

Temigirl95:
Exactly. They use it to make nutritious juices and milkshakes…. I heard it is extremely nutritious and helps the mother regain so much strength and vitality that was lost

Hello Nairalanders and Guests.

I am just curious to know what to do with the placenta after birth, and I am sure many young men as first timers feels the same if handed the placenta after his wife delivers a child.

Especially to young guys that are just raising a family. I know that culture varies but in Yoruba tribe for example, placenta are meant to be buried. Buried where? On your land or you have to encroach another man's land to bury that?

As a father or grandfather kindly share your experience on how to dispense placenta after delivery.

Many thanks.
