Question from a former J14er

Hi everyone!

Before my loss, I was briefly part of your group over on the TD. I remember several of you talking about having your placenta encapsulated. I'm pregnant again, due 6/22, and just wondered if anyone actually did it. If you did, what were your results? Did you feel it made a difference in your mood, energy levels, or milk supply? I appreciate any insight you can provide!

I'm also sorry for your loss but congrats on your growing family.


No idea about the encapsulation maybe try natural birth board or even not just cloth diapers

Congratulations on your upcoming arrival! I also don't remember anyone from this board going through with it. I do live in a pretty grassroots area where it's a bit more common. Some hospitals will not allow you to do it so make sure that wherever you are giving birth will allow it.

The moms that I know who did it had positive things to say...they think it helped improve their mood post partum. Of course that's very subjective.

Best of luck to you in your decision and I hope the rest of your pregnancy and delivery goes smoothly!

Thanks ladies! I couldn't remember who said they planned to encapsulate, and I don't know who all moved over here. I can't believe all your babies are almost 1! It doesn't feel like it's been that long!

Birthjunkie maybe? She didn't move over here though?
