"...extremely educational regarding the placenta encapsulation..."
Meghan helped me tremendously get through labor and delivery, which made me so thankful to have her by my side. The emotional support she provided leading up to the birth and for the actual delivery was priceless. She also was extremely educational regarding the placenta encapsulation which made my eager for the experience. I am currently 2 months PP and so glad I have had Meghan apart of my adventure for the last few months, and weeks to come. She is a rock-star of a woman!

“...encapsulation made it so easy.”
Meghan is wonderful & totally dedicated! She got my placenta from my Doula at nearly 1 am after my daughter was born & had it encapsulated before I even left the hospital. I never thought I would be the girl ingesting her placenta, but the encapsulation made it so easy.

Research
Speed up recovery
”Giving…placenta to a new mother following birth has become standard protocol among a growing number of midwives in the United States. By nourishing the blood and fluids, endocrine glands and organs, Placenta will …reduce or stop postpartum bleeding, speed up recovery, boost energy and relieve postpartum blues.” (Homes, Peter. 1993. Jade Remedies, Snow Lotus Press, 352.)
CRH
The relationship between the hormonal status of a new mother and postnatal depression is long standing. The National Institute of Health has found evidence that new mothers have lower levels of CRH, corticotropin-releasing hormone, which is released by the hypothalamus when under stress to help combat depression. That is the result from the placenta taking the action of secreting and storing CRH during the third trimester. The thought is that if the placenta is consumed, the hormones within the placenta would provide a way to regulate normal production of the hormone throughout the postpartum time frame. (“Does eating placenta offer postpartum health benefits?”. British Journal of Midwifery. 2012 July. Vol 20. No, 7. 464-46.)
Iron Deficiency & Fatigue
The placenta is rich in iron. Iron deficiency postpartum and fatigue go hand in hand, affecting maternal physical and mental health which in turn can have “implications on everyday activities, motivation and social interactions”. In one study postpartum anemia as a significant risk in the development of depression was identified. It's estimated that 50% of women worldwide are iron deficient.
