I would do it again given how brutal the first 6 weeks were with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1995997 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:25:30 +0000 littlebittyhouse 1995997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>curious about this and thinking about doing it for number two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1995951 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 13:00:35 +0000 anonysquire 1995951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine helped with mood, milk and hair. And it was working great until we moved and my husband left all the fridge contents in his car for a whole day so we had to throw everything away.... anyways my mood sucked after that stunt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1995853 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 12:09:52 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1995853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I processed it myself-- dehydrated the placenta and ground it up. I kept it in a container in the freezer and used it to make smoothies. I do feel it helped with mood and milk production (both miles better than after I had Ellie). I would totally do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1995757 Tue, 23 Dec 2014 11:22:57 +0000 LindsayInNY 1995757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1812200 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 15:17:59 +0000 snowjewelz 1812200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I watch Don't Be Tardy with that ex Housewife of Atlanta... She gave birth to twins and someone grinded up her placenta and her &amp; her DH drank it in a smoothie :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1812180 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 15:11:18 +0000 Boheme 1812180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't do anything for me - A local midwife who is food-safe certified processed it. If we ever have another, I would try it again though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1812174 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 15:09:49 +0000 knittylady 1812174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: There's a woman in my area, a doula, who will do it all for you. That was a HUGE part of deciding to go for it. I don't think I could handle doing it on my own. I can't even handle raw chicken. Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1812172 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 15:08:47 +0000 skibobrown 1812172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also no answers, but I'm willing to do anything to avoid PPD next time. I think I'll definitely try this as long as I can find someone to do the encapsulation for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1812109 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:44:10 +0000 SeptMomma12 1812109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice, but I'm wondering the same thing. I thought it was disgusting before LO, but I am willing to try anything to avoid that PPD again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-placenta-encapsulation-work-for-you#post-1811980 Tue, 12 Aug 2014 13:57:04 +0000 knittylady 1811980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>NOTE: Not looking to hear about how weird and gross this is. I've had those thoughts as well, but after going through PPD, I'm on board to help in anyway possible!</p> <p>If you did this did you find it helped in any way? PPD, milk supply, hairloss, etc., Did anyone find it to cause adverse reactions?</p> <p>Thanks :) </p>
