[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, the worst part of all this is that instead of pro-actively approaching the ppd issues and the anemia (with psychotherapy therapy, a plan for anti-depressant medication, a fortified diet, a visit to a reputable hematologist - as the thal minor poster posted), you are focusing on EATING YOUR PLACENTA. given your description of your PPD (worrying you might throw the baby off the balcony), you need to FORTIFY yourself against something worse - like post partum psychosis. i think you need to take your condition very seriously, as PPD has been shown to get worse with subsequent pregnancies. if your OB is truly saying that eating your placenta may "cure" your hormonal issues, you need a new OB. additionally, you should prepare yourself that you may need another blood transfusion if you bleed excessively during labor (have you been worked up for a bleeding problem? like vwf?). and please, do be very, very grateful for the thousands of people who willingly undergo a painful and unpleasant procedure to ensure that you live another day to care for your children. i am a physician and understand you have fears of blood transfusions, but reactions and inappropriate administration of the wrong blood product are exceedingly rare. good luck.[/quote]
