Woman takes hospital to court. Why? She wanted to keep her placenta after her C-section. Why? So she can grind it into a powder, put it in capsules and eat it. Why? To combat post-partum depression.


But now that's she's won it back, she's just going to bury it.

Probably in her backyard.

LAS VEGAS - A woman has won a court fight to keep the placenta after her daughter’s birth. She had planned to grind it up and ingest it as a way to fight postpartum depression, but now plans to bury it.

Swanson, who was 30 when she gave birth, originally wanted to give her placenta to a friend to be dried, ground into a powder and packed into capsules. She said she now plans to dry, store and eventually bury the organ instead of eating it.
