She may still be with child, but Holly Madison is already having a post-pregnancy craving.
"This might sound gross, but I'm totally plannng on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth," the former Playboy model and Girls Next Door star wrote Wednesday on her blog. "I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can!"
Hugh Hefner's ex added, "Have any other moms out there done this?"
Well, as a matter of fact, Holly, some have. In particular, January Jones, who revealed back in March 2012 that she had opted to consume her placenta after welcoming son Xander.
And in the latest issue of Britain's Glamour, the Mad Men actress talks about how it simply worked wonders.
"It's a very civilized thing that can help women with depression or fatigue," Jones told the magazine. "I was never depressed or sad or down after the baby was born, so I'd highly suggest it to any pregnant woman."

I was going to say, it's not like you're plopping it on the grill and then serving it up. LoL. It's gotta be dried, crushed and put into capsules.
About the actual banking itself- it seems like a good idea, but it's soooo overpriced (certain a lot of that goes into marketing), and there's not enough data out there about it (at least to the point where it would sway me to put that much of my savings into it). I might just donate it though with my next pregnancy, because I didn't hear about that option till after giving birth.
Donating is the way to go. You will get it if it has not been used yet.
That being said, my friend planned on donating, had discussed the whole thing with her hospital, it had a huge donation center on site, all was fine.... only she went into labor a few days early, and turns out the cord blood bank wasn't open on weekends. Fucking ridiculous.
