Reasons NOT to use placenta encapsulation?
(please excuse any typos as my 9 month old ds is trying to explore the keyboard as I type hile he also naks lOL)
I've tried to contaact 4 different placenta encapsulation services now about what conditions would make PE less than safe for some individuals. I take blood thinners during pregnancy because of APS--antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. It just seems NO ONE wants to check their email :( Any of you ladies know of a list of diseases or medications that might give pause on deciding what to do with the placenta? I know the molecular weight of heparin and lovenox is supposed to be safer than a few others because it supposedly doesn't cross the placenta. But, since it supposedly stops at the placenta, would it affect using the placenta later (i.e., increase pp bleeding instead of allowing the hormones to help stop it?)
Not exactly something that comes up very often for these places, I gues?S120000000.356535424 (<
THanks!

I don't know for sure but I know that drugs that are known to build up over time, and blood diseases like hepatitis, HIV etc
I'm not one for a ton of government involvement in normal things, like birth and death, and that's probably a similar attitude amongst us natural birthers. It might be why PE hasn't been studied more--fear of what the government might say if it were studied (Oh, well, we see that xyz happened # times, so let's start slapping labels on your PE capsules...) But, for some of us, it might be nice to have easily accessible information on this stuff.
I'm not going to be too heartbroken if I can't take the PE capsules; after all, there are nice alternatives like planting it with a tree. But, I'd just like to know, ya know? It's aggrevating to pour your heart on in an email to a random service, several times, and NO one respond, not even a simple "we just don't know."
