What is a Placenta?
The placenta is an organ that develops during pregnancy that connects the baby to the uterine wall. It provides nourishment to the fetus, helps fights against infection, produces hormones, and provides gas exchange with the mothers blood supply.

What is Placenta Encapsulation?
Placenta Encapsulation is the process of preparing a women's placenta into pills for her to consume during the weeks and months following her birth. The ingestion of the placenta is known as “placentophagy.”

 Many people believe that the purpose of placentophagy by the mother is to reintroduce the beneficial vitamins, minerals, hormones, proteins, and other nutrients to her body following labor and birth to help restore balance, hasten recovery, and boost her sense of well being.

How are Placenta Pills Prepared?

Placenta pills are prepared by first separating the membranes and umbilical cord from the placenta. Then the placenta is rinsed and drained of maternal and fetal blood.  Next the placenta is dehydrated, ground into fine pieces, and placed into capsules for the mother to ingest as she sees fit.

When is a Placenta encapsulated?
Ideally within 24-72 hours following birth.

How many placenta pills does a placenta produce?
Depending on the size of the placenta, it may produce anywhere from 90-175 pills.

When is placenta encapsulation contraindicated?
  • If a women developed a uterine infection or fever during her birth
  • If the placenta has been taken to pathology
  • When the placenta is improperly stored after birth
  • If you have the following diseases: HIV, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Hep B or C.

Our Unique Placenta Encapsulation Services Include:
  • Pick-up of placenta to be encapsulated
  • Placenta preparation and encapsulation
  • Proper storage container for placenta pills
  • Written instructions for storage and handling of placenta pills
  • Delivery of finished placenta pills to your home

What do I have to do with my Placenta after it is delivered?
Once the placenta is inspected and released, the placenta should be placed in an inclosed container (ziplock bag or plastic container). It must be refrigerated or placed on ice until we can arrange a time for pick up. The placenta can only be store in the refrigerator for 48 hours, any longer the placenta must be frozen. 


**COVID-19 Update: We are currently continuing to encapsulate placentas at this time and have created a limited contact pickup and delivery process. Email us at support@thewombwellnesscenter.com for specific questions in regards to our process and our local hospital procedures.**
