I just bumped into this one while lurking on a crazy moomie site and here we go again with their glorifying their disgusting bodily functions. There's 285 comments on the subject so I just skimmed some off of the top.

(If you care to see them all)
1)"...So I went to the bathroom and as soon as I sat down, PLOP! I fished it out and it was the placenta. It was kind of the size and shape of half of a large banana. I didn't see a sac which is what I really wanted to take a look at. I thought maybe it had broken and was part of what I thought was a membrane on the placenta.
I left if alone for a while but then went back to it because I just had to take a look at this wonderful thing that my body had made..... I still felt like it was a special and marvelous thing.... I had to pop it to look inside in case there was something there that the u/s didn't see....After that I put it in a baggie and put it into the freezer.... I just feel as if I should respect it and keep it and do something cool with it. I made it! I'm proud of it anyway. It's what made my boobs sore for 2 months. It's an amazing thing.......
I'm amazed at my body for doing it on its own. This is the first birth I've had where my body decided when to birth and not a doctor....."
("birth"? ok whatever)
2)"...I heard a huge plop in the toilet and when I looked down everything was red except for this little sac and when I picked it up I saw my little baby. He looked exactly like a 6 week old fetus looked in my books, except for only one arm bud had started to develop. He was still in the sac and I could see eyes, a heart, beginnings of a spine, a little tail that was beginning to dissapear.... I was holding my tiny littly baby in my hand and sitting on the toilet bleeding....We buried him in the back yard.."
(ummm, it's a medical impossibility to visually see a "baby" with the naked eye at 6 weeks gestation, much less it's sex)
3)"... I had to talk to my doctor on the phone. She told me that I was going to miscarry, but didn't tell me why and I was too shocked to ask. I was just stunned silent. Anyway, I spent about two weeks walking around knowing I was carrying a dead baby. What made it even worse was that my best friend found out she was pregnant when I found out I was losing my baby. I had to spend time with her knowing she had a live baby and I had a dead one inside me. This is horrible of me to say, but during that time I wished she would lose hers too...."
(wow, what a caring friend and a display of unsurpassed selfishness)
4)"... the last bit of placenta/sac was stuck at my cervix and i was in excruiciating pain with a sudden high fever, i needed help ... the ER OB was very kind, and understood i was wanting a natural miscarriage ... she talked me and my husband through a manual extraction..."
("manual extraction"?? I am not sure I want to know)
5)"....when I miscarried at 12 weeks before, it was all a huge gush of blood & clots, all at once. I sat on the toilet and passed a lot of stuff. DH came in and held my hand. I looked down and there was something stuck to me, hanging. It was gray. I thought it was the placenta or something. I tried to bounce a little to get it to come off, but it wouldn't. I took some tissue to scrape it off, and realized it was my baby. No sac., just my poor baby's face there looking up at me.."
(Again, this is not possible. She did NOT see her "poor babybee's face", and it CERTAINLY wasn't "looking" up at her)
"Baybees" looking up at them from the toilet paper, blood clots in Ziploc freezer bags, backyard burials, fishing through toilets for remains, squatting on the commode with a blood clot in the palms of their hands and claiming they see eyes, arms, etc........is a clear cut sign of some sort of a mental disorder or defect. I wonder if their husbands are aware of it and just don't want to say anything or if they believe this nonsense as well?
