Has anyone kept their 'bits' to plant with a tree after having a hysterectomy?

Hi ladies!
So I'm just wondering if anyone has kept their uterus (or any other bits) after having a hysterectomy?
I was in so much of a love bubble after having my kids I kept forgetting to ask to keep my placenta's....I always had the idea that I'd plant them with a tree for each of my children.
So anyway, I have recently had a hysterectomy and I have kept my uterus to plant - to honour the organ which grew my family 😊
Not sure what type of tree to plant etc and have googled the idea and came up with zilch! Surely this has been done before?!?!
My question, has anyone kept and planted their bits after having a hysterectomy? I would love to hear your stories please!
Skye 😊

Never heard of this idea before but planting a fruit tree with it might be nice, something that can keep giving to your family!

I dont believe in all this and think its a bit gross, butmy husband does so he took my placenta but being so busy put it in the freezer and forgot until one day the freezer defrosted and we all went umm whats in this container? Ewwwww. So he went and buried it under a tree and it was as gross and funny and pointless as I always thought lol.
But yes, I would choose a fruit tree too.

I have no emotional attachment to my lady organs.
Honestly I think carting that stuff home is unsterile and I think you'd have trouble convincing the hospital to let you do it.

Depends where you live but if it grows I would plant a yesterday, today and tomorrow plant as a symbol

I'd be worried my Labrador would dig it up

Yeah that wouldn't be pretty, I'm lucky my little dog isn't a digger! Will still be sure to have it down deep just incase! 😁
