WTF Wednesday

Welcome to WTF Wednesday, where I'll explore some of the stranger sides of baby products, pregnancy phenomena, and general "WTF?!?!?" breeding moments. First up (other than my lunch when I stumbled upon this)...PLACENTA PRINTS.

Whhhaaaatttt? Yeah. Placenta art, guys. Art made from your PLACENTA. To hang in your home. Over your baby's crib. No no no no. Just no.

Look, I know some women will call me an asshole for judging this. And I don't care. This. Is. Gross. I thought it was weird when I read that women were EATING their placentas after birth, I thought it was weirder when I found out they were planting their placentas in gardens, but this. This is going too far.




I dunno, y'all. Maybe I'll feel differently after delivering my own miracle and subsequent afterbirth. Maybe I'll feel the overwhelming desire to celebrate the life force that nurtured my little one. Maybe I'll finally understand what on earth would urge a woman to purchase such a thing (and let's not even discuss the packaging/shipping process that must take place). Or maybe I'll just move on with my life, and my baby, sans placenta.
