Placenta Encapsulation?

Question

Is anyone doing placenta encapsulation or has done it in the past? I’m considering it because it’s believed to help decrease ppd and baby blues. I’ve noticed a difference in myself this pregnancy already, such as finding it hard to get stuff done and just feeling super emotional and mopey. I didn’t have any depression or anything with my son, I also regretted not doing anything with the placenta. I don’t want to eat it so I feel like the encapsulation is something I could handle 😂 anyways is there anything else people are doing with their placenta?

Answer

Wow, thank you all so much! Idk why but I guess I never even realized that it could be bad, I just thought it was weird! I did a little more research and found what you’re all saying! I’m so glad I posted this! Thank you thank you!

Answer

St michaels hospital in Toronto has recommended NOT doing this. Especially during the pandemic. They have recently found a case where Covid-19 exists in the placenta after birth. But this is just one reason why I wouldn’t ingest placenta ever

Answer

Personally would not do this... we are naturally supposed to get rid of the placenta... not eat it 💙

Answer

You shouldnt do it. Its not safe to do. Theres no benefits of doing it your just giving yourself the placebo affect. Theres no benefit to doing it. The placenta is a filter for harmful stuff and toxins and thats what the placenta holds.
