placenta encapsulation?

edited June 2014 in December 2014 Moms
I know it's gross, but there seem to be so many benefits from having your placenta encapsulated. I was wondering if any of you have done it, or are considering it?

    I think it is one of those things that if you can stomach it, why not. I will not be doing it, but I know women that swear by it and that it helps them for many of the reasons @madison1victoria‌ described. If i found more scientific info I would maybe consider it. @madison1victoria‌ do you know what that study you listed above is called? I'd be interested in reading it.

    I had such a bad pp recovery that I am seriously considering this. DH doesn't know this, yet.

    this. I'm sure it won't happen but it is really tempting.

    Ohhhh no! I absolutely will not do that! I'd much rather have them in a capsule and slip it into my daily vitamins

    My best friend did it after her second pregnancy and said the difference was phenomenal compared with her first. I'm not against it and may consider it if I can find someone to do it for me.

    Part of me is totally considering it because it took almost a year for my hormones to go back to normal. DH would be so grossed out. But he didn't lose half his hair so...

    Animals eat their placenta raw.  It's nasty to watch.  I'm sure there are benefits, but I think I'll pass.

    I don't do it because of religious reasons, but my sister did and she had an amazing recovery! Her midwife did the encapsulation as part of her services.

    I'm worried about PPD and I heard this can really help but my gag reflex is far too reactive to give it any real thought right now.

    It can make PPD worse for some. I was just telling my friend I need to research what percentage have the opposite effect. For *most* it's very beneficial.

    Encapsulation I'm cool with. I didn't do it last time but I would consider it. I didn't really have a difficult time leveling out my hormones but you never know from pregnancy to pregnancy. However I would never eat it. I think that's taking it a bit far.

    I just went on the mama natural site and saw the video link. I almost clicked on it to watch the encapsulation process but the opening picture already made me gag.

    I really want to do it but DH says absolutely not. We'll see. I plan on talking to our midwives about it.

    I've encapsulated my placenta with my 2 previous births and plan in doing it again this time. I did it all by myself last time - it's actually pretty easy to do and the benefits are amazing!

    My brothers girlfriend did it and her PPD was awful, actually it still is and my niece is well over a year old now. I could never do it, too weird to think of consuming a temporary organ

    @mainemama what are the religious reasons? I'm curious. I wonder if my religion prohibits it?

    For me, its because the consumption of human flesh is prohibited in the Bible :) And yes, I know there are LOTS of rules in the Bible that aren't followed (mixing of fabrics for example)

    I'm actually not too grossed out. That is as long as I don't do it my self. Just bring it to me as a pill.

    So its about $150 here gonna go ahead and get it done. I wont do it myself and the lady that does it uses the RAW method no cooking just dehydration.

    I might message you in a few months to see who you use because that's cheaper than I've seen and we live in the same general area.
