I think that\u00a0placentas<\/a>\u00a0are amazing. I\u2019ve had two babies and I didn\u2019t get to fully look at my<\/p>\n

placenta either time, which made me really sad. And having since examined another<\/p>\n

placenta, I\u2019m even sadder that I didn\u2019t get to check out the organ that kept both my babies<\/p>\n

alive and well.<\/p>\n

Following the traumatic birth of my first baby I suffered terribly with, firstly, the shock and<\/p>\n

then the \u201c3 day blues\u201d and then ongoing depression and PTSD. I felt disconnected,<\/p>\n

emotionally exhausted, drained and sad.<\/p>\n

I was determined to have a different birth for my second baby, but I was also determined<\/p>\n

that, no matter what, I would have a different postpartum period. I wanted to spend my first<\/p>\n

weeks after birth bonding with baby and feeling joyful.<\/p>\n

This led me to research about placenta consumption. Turns out that the placenta isn\u2019t only<\/p>\n

awesome for keeping babies healthy, but can have benefits for mum after the birth too.<\/p>\n

I was informed that the benefits of placenta encapsulation (consuming the placenta in dried<\/p>\n

capsule form) included:<\/p>\n

Less bleeding;<\/p>\n

More emotional stability;<\/p>\n

Better milk supply;<\/p>\n

Higher iron stores;<\/p>\n

and improved energy levels.<\/p>\n

All the things that I absolutely wanted!<\/p>\n

So I got in touch with a placenta encapsulator and away we went. The reason I didn\u2019t get to<\/p>\n

fully examine my second placenta was because it had to be packaged up for my doula to<\/p>\n

deliver to the encapsulator. I went home from hospital on day 2 and was very upset that<\/p>\n

night (I had another traumatic birth). Then I was worried that I would be going down the<\/p>\n

same postnatal road as last time.<\/p>\n

On day 3 my capsules arrived and I started taking them twice a day. I won\u2019t say that it was<\/p>\n

all rainbows and unicorns, but was 100 times better than my previous postnatal experience. I<\/p>\n

had no milk supply issues and my mood was significantly more stable.<\/p>\n

If you have the chance to get your placenta encapsulated I HIGHLY recommend it! I don\u2019t<\/p>\n

know anyone who has regretted it and I\u2019m sure that you won\u2019t either!<\/p>\n
