I have not mentioned it yet, mainly because I wanted to be positive it really helped...and now I can confirm that it did! I made the decision to have my placenta encapsulated after reading many reviews of other mom's results! My post-partum bleeding was not much of anything and I can say that it is because of taking my capsules! As many people know "baby blues" is something a lot of women face. I did not go through that because I was able to take my capsules as my hormones changed and my daily moods fluctuated. A few times when I felt temperamental I took a few and it really made a difference in my mood! (Just as my husband!! haha) I feel that I was able to "return to normal" after pregnancy because of the help from my capsules! The final test that proved they really helped my mood: The week I returned to work. I felt saddened as I got ready to leave the first couple of days back to work. I teared up a few times while getting ready and decided I should take a capsule to help boost my mood. I can honestly say that I felt better, more stable and positive after taking them...Even a co-worker mentioned how well I handled the transition back to work! I know that positive thinking helps, but I can honestly say I am so thankful that I did the placenta encapsulation!
Lisa is known as "The Placenta Lady" in the St. Louis area. She is very experienced when it comes to prepping and delivering your capsules! I am very happy with the results and wanted to share the info with you! This is her website: http://stlplacentalady.weebly.com/
I know the subject can be seen as "taboo" because normally your Placenta is whisked away in a biohazard bag at the hospital! We spend nine months creating a human, why throw away the very thing that sustained life inside us when we can benefit from it! I'm only writing this to be transparent with you and share something that helped me!!!
Everyone does things differently...no such thing as a "right" or "wrong" way. Just different. I'm really happy I chose to have my placenta encapsulated! I actually have some capsules saved in my deep freezer. I've read it can help with hormonal changes or imbalances in the future such as menopause, for instance. We shall see how that helps ;) I figure it can't hurt anything!!!
Anyways...you can take or leave this information! I hope it helps if some are considering it! Lisa is great! I figure using something your body created is far better than some sort of artificial drug to aid with post-partum healing!!!
Hope this helps ;) Even if you think I'm a weirdo. lol
