00:00Here in our country, when there's a pregnancy, the elders buy...
00:04You're not allowed to take a bath.
00:06You have to wear underwear so that you won't be seen.
00:07You have to eat a nutritious food.
00:10It's a bit obvious.
00:12But in this viral video,
00:14which was uploaded by Anya, who is 24 years old and is just about to give birth,
00:20This is what she looks like.
00:21Her own placenta.
00:24So there it is.
00:25It looks like a batchoy.
00:27She cooked it and ate it.
00:30When I took out my placenta,
00:32that's the first thing I told the doctor.
00:34It's just a roll. If it's full of blood, it's okay.
00:37Don't wash it with water. It's okay.
00:39That's all.
00:42She believes that eating her own placenta or baby food will help her recover faster
00:50after giving birth.
00:52When I watched Kardashian,
00:54I said, they're still beautiful.
00:57Then I said, maybe it's healthy.
00:59I can recover quickly.
01:01Aside from the influence of foreign celebrities,
01:04Anya is also researching online.
01:06I researched on social media.
01:08I also watched their podcasts.
01:10Some of them are traditional.
01:12They're old, old, old.
01:14They do that.
01:15Others, they don't know.
01:17They feed their grand-grandparents.
01:20That's how it is.
01:23That's why when she gave birth to Umayo,
01:25her firstborn, Baby Gianna,
01:27she decided to eat her own placenta.
01:31It's still small.
01:32There. It's big, but it's small.
01:35Until the time she gave birth,
01:37we were there.
01:38Of course, I secured the placenta first.
01:40I said, Doc, my husband's request is the placenta.
01:43When they got home,
01:45almost two days after being in the hospital,
01:47she prepared the placenta to cook.
01:51Let's clean it.
01:54I cleaned it first.
01:56So there.
01:58It looks like a placenta.
02:00Then I cooked it.
02:02Of course, I don't want it to be salty.
02:04So I added garlic, onion,
02:06and other seasonings.
02:08So when I take it, it already has flavor.
02:12Anya admitted that at first,
02:14she also had a craving.
02:16But because she believes that it's good
02:18for postpartum recovery,
02:20she continued eating it.
02:22Eventually, she got used to it.
02:24It has flavor.
02:26I can't tell if it's beef,
02:28or pork, or chicken.
02:30It's really different.
02:32It's like all the animals
02:34mixed it together.
02:36It has more of a bloody flavor.
02:38It's like liver with beef.
02:42The placenta is an organ
02:44that grows in the uterus
02:46when a woman gives birth.
02:48It supplies
02:50nutrients and oxygen
02:52to the uterus
02:54while it's still in the uterus.
02:56It's important
02:58because it exchanges
03:00nutrients and blood
03:02from the mother
03:04to the baby
03:06as well as the waste
03:08materials from the baby
03:10to the mother.
03:14Anya's story,
03:17and what she said
03:19about eating her placenta,
03:21was immediately denied.
03:23She said,
03:25don't eat your placenta.
03:27You promised me that.
03:29I was the only one who did that.
03:31I just sat there
03:33thinking that I'll really eat it.
03:37We showed the video to Dr. Raul Gania,
03:39a psychologist.
03:41He said,
03:43this is the belief that
03:45whether we deny it or not,
03:47up until now,
03:49we believe in the
03:51wishes of our grandmothers
03:53and our ancestors
03:55that were passed on
03:57from generation to generation.
03:59The influence of
04:01social media
04:03and influencers is huge,
04:05especially in people's lives
04:07nowadays.
04:09That's why they believe
04:11based on the experiences
04:13of other people,
04:15this is true for them.
04:17For Anya,
04:19despite being denied
04:21from her doctor,
04:23she believes that eating her placenta
04:25helped her
04:27to regain her strength
04:29from her birth.
04:31I believe that
04:33the placenta also helped
04:35because it's full of nutrition.
04:37I didn't have postpartum
04:39that I was told in a week.
04:42Even though it's full of protein
04:44and vitamins,
04:46it shouldn't be eaten.
04:48It doesn't have a scientific basis
04:50to fully recommend
04:52the consumption
04:54of our placenta.
04:56There's also a report
04:58by CDC
05:00or Center for Disease Control
05:02that the mother
05:04and the baby had an infection
05:06because the mother
05:08had an illness
05:10so when the mother
05:12processed her placenta
05:14and consumed it,
05:16the baby also got the illness.
05:18For a quick recovery,
05:20it's important to have
05:22enough rest when giving birth.
05:24Exercise
05:26when giving birth
05:28and it's important
05:30what your obstetrician
05:32or midwife will advise
05:34and who gave birth to you
05:36should follow it.
05:38It's also good to eat
05:40nutritious food
05:42to regain your strength.
05:44It's also important
05:46to ask for help
05:48from your spouse
05:50or family
05:52if you need help
05:54or if you want to rest.
05:56When it comes to giving birth,
05:58we are encouraged
06:00to love and believe.
06:02But,
06:04it's important to remember
06:07that baby's safety
06:09and well-being
06:11is not only the baby's,
06:13but also the mother's.
