to keep it instead.
Some decide to plant it with a tree, others donate it to science and some even eat it, with the belief that it can reduce postpartum depression and reduce bleeding after the birth, despite there being limited scientific evidence to back this up.
However, going off Calvin’s photos, it seems as if he and his wife decided to chop the placenta up and go through a process known as placenta encapsulation, where it is re-ingested in a more handy pill form, rather than eaten raw in the same manner as Daenerys did with the horse heart in that one weird Game of Thrones scene.
However, the images did catch a lot of people off-guard, as a few were left baffled as to why he’d decided to share the intimate photos with his 11.4 million followers.
One wrote: “Congratulations. Could have used a trigger warning for those last three photos though.”
Another commented: “Swiping. ‘Oh wow. That’s amazing. Congratulate… What the f***!”
A third said that the ‘pics were great’, however, they added that it wasn’t ‘necessary’ for them to see the placenta.
Meanwhile, a fourth suggested it was an easy way to figure out in the comments who had kids, as they wrote: “Congrats to the both of you.
“You’ll quickly find out who on here is a parent or not by their reaction to the last three pictures.”
