What new moms are saying about Oh Baby Mine placenta encapsulation:
"I've been meaning to tell you that I am so happy I decided to do the placenta encapsulation. It has made a huge difference. I have noticed the baby blues have been much better this time (the main thing I was hoping for) and I think it's even giving me more energy. I can't say whether or not it's helping with milk production as this has never been a problem area for me. Thank you so much for everything!"
Your baby’s placenta is believed to:
- balance energy depleted by labor & birth
- replenish iron, minerals & vitamins
- balance hormones
- lessen postnatal bleeding
- increase milk production
- help you have a happier postpartum period
- complement your body’s effort in returning the uterus to its pre-pregnancy state
- be helpful during menopause
I have successfully completed the training in OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens for Doulas & Professionals in Placenta Encapsulation in accordance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard 29 CFR 1090.1030
Nutritional benefits
The placenta transports nutrients to the fetus during gestation, as well as producing and regulating hormones and opiods. Proponents of modern placentophagy argue that the placenta retains some of these substances after delivery, and that consumption of the placenta by the mother will help her recover more quickly following childbirth by replenishing nutrients and hormones lost during parturition. The other health benefits including replenishing lost nutrients, increasing milk production, curbing postpartum depression and slowing postpartum hemorrhage.
In addition to protein and various vitamins, placenta contains high levels of CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone), known to reduce stress. Though CRH is normally secreted by the hypothalamus, during pregnancy production of CRH by the placenta dramatically increases levels of CRH in the blood stream, which peak at delivery. Even postpartum, the placenta still contains very high levels of CRH, and some believe eating it can bring the mother’s CRH levels back to a healthy range.
Consumption of the placenta is also believed to cause the release of the chemical oxytocin in the brain. Oxytocin stimulates uterine contractions leading to the onset of labor, and after childbirth can also cause the uterus to contract and sooner reach its pre-pregnancy size.

Your placenta can be encapsulated in about 2 days from the time I receive it. For the tincture it will take about 6 weeks for the super concentration to occur, then, it is strained and put into the dropper bottle. Normally, your partner would deliver it to me. If I am your labor doula or your delivery lactation coach then, I will be able to just take it with me when I leave. I promise to store it at the proper temperature the entire time it is in my care. When the process is completed I will bottle them & call you for me to deliver them to you (usually at no charge, if you are in a 15 mile radius).
The hospital will store it for you in refrigeration and place it in a disposable plastic container & usually a biohazard bag. If there aren't any refrigeration facilities you can bring a cooler along & they can put ice in it for you. Once you contact me to start your process you will have access to our "forms" page to download the contract & the hospital release form.
