Placenta Encapsulation...

Jamie
So after seeing this topic posted on here asking who would do it I have done research. Initially I was kind one of the people who said that it was not for me...but now I'm considering it! I know a woman that I was in my Anatomy and Physiology II class last semester, who happens to be a doula, that recommended a person who does encapsulation. The price is $200 for as many capsules as she can make. I suffer from really bad depression after birth and if there is a natural way to fend off the depression it is worth it to me. My question is for anyone who has done this...how did you get the hospital to release your placenta? I am 30 weeks 6 days and I think it's too late to consider home birth.
