The benifits make sense, infact it kind of all makes sense... i mean every other mamal eats there placentas.. why not humans? But heres the problem.. no matter if i hire someone (which i am currently speaking with someone i may contract with) or if i do it myself, im going to have to do it in the home im staying in.. with mother in law!? Great huh? And shes the typical picky pitch a fit over anything mother in law.. Just my luck.
So heres some questions.. anyone ever had this done? Did it really benifit you?
How would you convince someon to let you do this? I mean it is for the health of you and your baby, but some may see it as canabilism or satanic ritual. But its not at all :( Any advice?
Yes I had a baby in the NICU and once I started taking my placenta pills I felt my hormones regulate a lot better and wasn't a crying mess 24 hours a day. It was my first so I don't have anything to compare to completely but I felt that I had a lot of things that could've lead to PPD and didn't so that was enough for me.
Technically I think almost all encapsulators have to prepare the placenta at mom's residence (otherwise there are legal issues with transporting organs) but maybe you could have your SO take it to the encapsulators house or she has a solution for you. Or you could do it yourself at someone else's house? I don't know how bad your MIL is (mine would beweirded out but wouldn't have the balls to say much) but if she's pretty bad you've probably got a lot of this is my house battles and avoiding this one might be less stress.
