Has anyone gotten their placenta encapsulated? I’ve read there are great benefits to it. Helps with mental health, help boost milk supply, balance hormones, lose baby weight, etc.

I didn’t necessarily have any issues with these after having my first baby. With the exception of a little bit of ppd/ppa. But I was thinking about doing it with my second since I’ll also have a toddler to take care of and adjusting to that will probably effect my mental health a little more than it did the first time.

I was talking to my husband about it and he did some reading and said that there’s too many possible risks and no actual evidence that taking the pills would help as they say they will. That it’s basically just hype and could possibly be dangerous as there’s no regulations for how the placenta is cared for so there’s been cases arise where mom/baby has gotten sick from bacteria found in the placenta.

I just wanted to hear some stories from mama’s who’ve personally had their placenta encapsulated - good, bad, or indifferent. TIA 💖
