‘News Dated 4 January 2016.
Scan photo appears to show a creepy figure watching over the foetus
Imgur user posted image of a ‘friend’s baby’ from an ultrasound in June
One million people viewed it and hundreds debated what it looked like
Ultrasound technician could offer no explanation for the strange figure
A creepy ultrasound photo that appears to show a ‘demon’ watching over an unborn baby has gone viral.
The image, posted by an anonymous Imgur user, has been viewed over a million times in two days as internet users offer their various interpretations of the eerie photo.
It shows a foetus, which appears to be around eight-to-10 weeks old, and what looks like a menacing face with a naked body outside the womb.

Opinion is divided as to what the figure looks like, with the most popular choices being a Hindu Goddess, a mermaid or a demon.
One commentator said: “Does no one else see the demon on the right?”
But another responded: “Hindu goddess on the right side of the image.”
To sum up the disagreement, subtlemrs simply wrote: “I’m seeing a friendly mermaid. Everyone else is seeing a demon. We’re all weird.”
The picture has been viewed more than 500,000 times since being uploaded yesterday.
This creepy occurrence isn’t the first time strange things have been spotted on ultrasounds.
This practice has assumed such proportions that woman collects placenta and sells them!
But Scientific evidence does not seem to support this.

Human Placenta.
Although the placenta is revered in many cultures, there is scarce evidence that any customarily eat the placenta after the newborn’s birth.[4] Despite an urban legend that the Basque people ate placentas, there is no evidence that they ever did,[4] and the Euskara word for placenta, karena, is not etymologically related to their word for cannibalism, gizajana.
Those who advocate placentophagy in humans believe that eating the placenta prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications.[5]Obstetrician and spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists Maggie Blott disputes the post-natal depression theory, stating there is no medical reason to eat the placenta; “Animals eat their placenta to get nutrition – but when people are already well-nourished, there is no benefit, there is no reason to do it.”[6] On the other hand, American Medical anthropologists at the University of South Florida and UNLV, surveyed new mothers, and found that about 3/4 had positive experiences from eating their own placenta, citing “improved mood”, “increased energy”, and “improved lactation”.[7][8]
British celebrity chef Hugh Fearnly-Whittingstall, known for his series of River Cottage programmes, notoriously cooked and ate a woman’s placenta on one of his programmes.[11]
Those brave enough to eat a placenta use a variety of methods to consume the organ. But are there any real health benefits to this gustatory practice?
Warning: An image of a human placenta and an instructional video for preparing a human placenta follows.
The placenta is a temporary protective organ that serves as a conduit between the mother and her developing young. The child is fed is through the placenta via the mother’s blood supply, as waste from the young exits to the mother for disposal. The placenta follows the newborn as it exits the mother, leaving in the moments after childbirth.
In the wild, land dwelling mammals often consume the placenta. They also lap up the amniotic fluid as it flows out of the mother. The amniotic fluid consists of proteins, urea, and assorted fats, but we have yet to see a rush of new parents to drink amniotic fluid smoothies.
Mammalian consumption of the placenta is likely performed as it removes the lingering presence of blood in order to ward off predators, with one study showing placentophagy to provide an increase in natural opioids in rats.
The precedence of placentophagy in the wild leads some soon-to-be parents to wonder if they should be eating placenta after childbirth. The practice of human placentophagy brings with it claims that the act reduces post-partum depression and imparts a further connection between the mother and child. Both of these benefits could be the psychological result of a placebo effect.
More concrete benefits have been proposed as well, with placentophagy replenishing iron, aiding in lactation, and giving the mother a rush of stress relieving hormones, likecorticotropin-releasing hormone. The amount of corticotropin-releasing hormone created by the placenta increases dramatically prior to birth, leading proponents to believe the birthed placenta still contains a high concentration of this hormone.
While the placenta itself may be of nutritional benefit, do these benefits exist in a placenta prepared for human consumption?
Cooking Up Some Placenta
A typical placenta, when disconnected from the umbilical cord, is a deep red mass roughly 8 to 10 inches long, an inch or so thick, and weighing about a pound. Imagine a piece of raw flesh about size of a nice piece of prime rib, but filled with fibrous tissue that is rather tough to chew through.
While see land dwelling mammals consume the placenta raw, humans that partake in the placenta consume it in a variety of forms – prepared as a lasagna, ground up in a smoothie, or in pill form.
Cooking the placenta in any form could degrade the proteins within, decreasing the nutritive quality of the organ by imparting heat as well combined with a natural degradation of the organ over time as it exists without a nutrient supply. Small molecule hormones are often rather small, however, and difficult to rip apart at temperatures used for food preparation. Grinding the placenta into a powder for use in pills often involves boiling and drying of the flesh as well.
For optimal benefit, eating the placenta in the hours after it passes through the mother would be necessary. However, obtaining the placenta in a timely fashion is a chore in itself, as hospitals are often reticent to release the placenta and it can be difficult to grab it in the chaos that follows birth.

Susan Stewart collects fresh human placentas, takes them home and steams them with lemon, ginger and cayenne pepper. Once cooked, she puts the organs in a dehydrator overnight then grinds them and measures the powder out into gel capsules.
The service – the Calgary single mother makes a living at this – costs about $200.
Within a day, she presents new moms with their placentas in pill form – an average human placenta yields about 150 capsules – with promises of renewed energy, better lactation and no post-partum depression. They keep indefinitely.
Placenta-eating has gained some cachet among the natural-birth set, including Mad Men’s January Jones. Ms. Stewart said she became interested in it in 2009, after she was knocked down by depression following the birth of her first child, and she could see little downside from trying it.
Breastfeeding Protects Babies
1. Early breast milk is liquid gold.
Known as liquid gold, colostrum (coh-LOSStrum) is the thick yellow first breast milk that you make during pregnancy and just after birth.
This milk is very rich in nutrients and antibodies to protect your baby.
Although your baby only gets a small amount of colostrum at each feeding, it matches the amount his or her tiny stomach can hold.
2. Your breast milk changes as your baby grows. Colostrum changes into what is called mature milk.
By the third to fifth day after birth, this mature breast milk has just the right amount of fat, sugar, water, and protein to help your baby continue to grow.
Let us look at the uncleanliness that arises out of death and Birth in detail.
As many people from India are settled abroad, leaving their kith and kin including parents(mainly parents, in some case care of Glorified Orphan’s Home called Retirement Homes,by settling monthly Bills), here is some information for them .
If Soothaka, that is the Uncleanliness out of Birth in the Family or if theRrites are not performed or the period of Uncleanliness remain unobserved, there is nothing to worry.
But if it is Asaucham ,that is because of death, days of Uncleanliness is to be observed for the period equivalent normally prescribed, from the Date of hearing the news of Death it attracts Structure in Sastras.
This applies even when a Sraddha, annual ceremony conducted, is due for parents.
Uncleanliness Period for Birth.
No period of Uncleanness is to be observed after Ten days.
For The Child’s Mother.
30 Days if the Child is Male and 40 Days if Female.
After this period the Mother has to wear a new Mangalya Sutra,take a Panchakavyand start handling vessels and enter into household duties.
Note:
During Asaucha period,only Snanam (Bath) and Sandhyavandhana can be performed.
Other duties like Surya namaskaram,Aupaasanam( DailyFire Worship),Brahma Yagnam.Deva Pooja,Dhaana and Prathigraha should be performed after the 13 th Day.

So in Sarpasamskara, the last Rites are performed for the snake if it is dead and if it is injured, a prathima or an idol is placed in the moolasthana of Subrahmanya.
Performance of Srardham or obeisance to ancestors and visit to Kasi/Varanasi is a most sacred duty of the Hindus. Performing the prescribed Rites for the departed as laid by ht e Sastras is an important aspect of Hinduism. Locating the Sastris or Vadhyar in both the places is an arduous task. Not that the Sastrigals…
Both seem to be right from a certain Time perspective.

“A woman who underwent sex change gave birth to a child now as a man. He got pregnant although he is a man now.
He has become Britian’s first “male-mother” despite sex change. He gave birth last year after reactivating his womb through hormonal treatment.
Thankfully the womb was intact and was not removed during his sex change, reports The Sunday Times.
However he went through proper investigation and research about health issues if he ended up become pregnant. He took care of all the possible health implications of retaining his womb.
It is suspected that he might have given birth through caesarean although it is is possible the man may have retaiined the ability to give birth naturally.
Beaumont Society, which help individual who want to have sex change, believes that this case might be the first of its kind in Britain. Earlier on such case has been registered each in America and in Spain.
