Five things you never thought to do with: placenta

You're pregnant. You keep hearing about couples who save their baby's placenta after birth. You're too scared -- and a little creeped out -- to ask them any questions, yet you're still pondering whether or not you should do the same thing. Mostly, you're wondering what you'd do with a giant glob of red, vein-y leather.

Noodle on these ideas. You can thank us later.

1. Make into to beauty products. Mmmm....lathery shine.

2. Freeze it. Yup, right next to the nasty, crumbly wedding cake you could never bring yourself to eat and all the leftover pumped breastmilk you can't bear to throw away.

3. Bury it. Preferably behind the willow tree you planted in honor of your beloved babe, aptly named Willow. Just be sure to keep that part of the yard fenced off from Spot or you will have a lot of explaining to do the kid, the hubs and your oogied-out neighbors.

4. Eat it, preferably freeze dried and put into a tiny capsule. Or in a cake.

5. Bronze it and leave it on your mantel for all to see. It was your baby's lifeline, after all, and will dazzle next to your baby's bronzed first pair of shoes, photo-boxed first tooth, and high school diploma.
