Lotus birth

I was telling some of you about this woman I read about who didn't believe in cutting the umbilical cord. Instead she kept the placenta attached to her babies and stored it in a velvet placenta bag until it the cord fell off naturally. Here's her website (I told you I wasn't making this up).

I especially love the part where she tells us about her childrens' memories from being in the womb and after they were born. You must be kidding me. Oh- and the part about newborns holding frantically onto their cords before they are cut. OH. MY. GOD. WOMAN.

Now, Kelly, if you're interested I can make you a velvet placenta bag for your children. You know you want one.
