How Does Placenta Collection Work?
-
As soon as you book your desired modalities of placenta processing, you will receive a scheduled phone appointment for us to meet, go through collection details together, and discuss your Placenta Care Package.
If I am additionally supporting you as your Doula, I will have a Placenta Kit ready for your birth that contains a portable cooler, placenta container, frozen icepacks, sterile pads, and any information your provider needs to ensure safe transportation. -
Upon the time of labor, have your birth partner remind your care providers that you wish to keep you placenta and to please ensure delivering your placenta, outside of water, onto a provided sterile pad or another clean surface.
Have your Birth Partner to notify me when you go into labor and anytime following your birth, so I can plan to come receive your placenta for processing in a timely manner.
-
Your primary care provider can then inspect your placenta as usual, and place it into a designated container along with 1-2 blood clots.
If birthing in a hospital, they will package it with care and put it on ice to store until pick up.
If birthing at home, the container can be placed into refrigeration to be ready for collecting.
I will collect your placenta at a location convenient to you within the first couple hours after birth.
Your placenta medicine will then be prepared with loving intention, and delivered back to you within 24-48 hours.
