    I'm a FTM but am planning on doing placenta encapsulation. I found a really great website (https://placentabenefits.info/) that had lots of information and basically sealed the deal for me. I recommend researching it and asking around (probably doulas and midwives would be the best place to ask).

    if you can't find someone to do it for you, you can do it yourself.  it's really not that hard from what i understand.  i personally haven't done it, but it sounds pretty easy. 

    basically you just dehydrate it, crush it up and then fill empty gel caps.

    I have my placenta encapsulating service booked! :D I'm so excited. Ditto the link from PP to placentabenefits.info.

    As for doing it yourself, here's a link I saw posted here before and bookmarked. Beware, there are pictures if you're squeamish. :)

    I'm planning on doing it this time.  My MW gave me a business card of someone who will do it for me.  I think she's a traditional chinese herbalist?  She's not listed on the placentabenefits website, so if you look there and don't find someone, I'd ask around - doulas, MWs, yoga instructors might know of someone close to you.

    I'm not down with eating my own body parts LOL but I saw another women who didn't encapsulate hers. She dehydrated and powdered it to mix with a smoothie.  That might be an easier option for those who don't have access to someone who can put it in pill form.
