Homebirth & holistic post natal: PLACENTA CAPSULES

It took me 4 months to go through all of my placenta capsules! 🤯

When I found out that our midwives who helped us in our homebirth also do placenta encapsulation, I was so excited. I always knew I wanted to do ~something~ with my placenta given some of the possible benefits including:

• a decrease in postpartum mood disorders

• increased production of oxytocin

• a decrease in stress hormones

• restoration of iron levels following bleeding after birth, increased milk supply, etc.

• not to mention it’s chalk full of vitamins and minerals

Overall, I felt really balanced when it came to mood and energy, even during our babygirl’s newborn period. I never felt super sluggish or down. Mamas, have you thought about placenta encapsulation?

Also, the heart is part of our umbilical cord that our midwives dried as a keepsake for our homebirth 🥺 (kind of weird, but I definitely kept it!)
