Happy Mama Placenta Encapsulation Process
Ensuring proper placenta care on the day of birth
For a seamless experience, follow these steps the day you go into labor. Be sure to share this plan with your birthing partner, so they can help ensure everything runs smoothly.
- Call (not text) your birthing team to let them know you’re on your way to the birthing location or, if having a home birth, when you’re in active labor.
- After you’re assigned a birthing room, hand the placenta kit and release form to your nurse and complete the release form provided by the hospital or birthing center. This release form is kept in your file, acting as a reminder should your nurse and their shift.
- Contact me so I can prepare to pick up the placenta.
- Store the placenta on ice. The placenta can be preserved on ice for up to 5 hours. Please ensure that the ice remains frozen, as melted ice will not provide the required level of preservation.
After I’m notified you’ve successfully welcomed your newborn to the world, I’ll arrive within 3 hours to pick up your placenta for encapsulation. This 3-hour window is important, as it provides enough time to sanitize and prepare properly for encapsulation.
Receiving your encapsulated placenta
Within 24 to 48 hours of retrieving your placenta, a dedicated member of the Happy Mama team will hand deliver your encapsulated placenta directly to the hospital or birthing center to ensure a safe and expedient transfer. If you are no longer at the hospital, we will deliver them to your home.
As a certified placenta specialist, I understand the importance of retrieving, processing, and delivering the encapsulated placenta with unparalleled care and professionalism. That is why I guarantee new mothers in a 2-hour radius delivery within 48 hours, allowing you to reap the benefits as soon as possible.
More ways to leverage the placenta after birth
Consuming the encapsulated placenta after birth is only one way to reap the benefits of this amazing organ. The Happy Mama place also offers two other ways to use the placenta to accelerate healing and soothe the body.
Placenta-Infused Nipple Butter for an Enhanced Breastfeeding Experience
Happy Mama Nipple Butter is nutrient-rich and carefully crafted to relieve soreness, dryness, and cracking as you navigate breastfeeding using safe and organic ingredients such as:
- Lightweight fractioned MCT coconut oil.
- A proprietary blend of organic herb-infused oil.
- Shea butter.
- Roasted coconut butter.
Happy Mama Nipple Butter is a safer and more effective alternative to Lanolin, which is derived from sheep sebum and can potentially be contaminated with pesticides. It’s also free of bee wax, ensuring a smooth and clean application.
Why choose an over-the-counter solution when you gain peace of mind and relief by using a product derived from your own body, effective for you, and safe for your baby.
To experience the full benefits of our Nipple Butter Infused with Dehydrated Placenta, simply apply a small amount to clean, dry nipples after each feeding or as needed. Gently massage the butter onto the skin, allowing it to absorb and provide long-lasting moisture and relief.
Tincture: Enhancing Your Health Naturally
Want to prolong the benefits of the placenta well past birth? Consider a tincture. Once your placenta tincture has fermented for 6 weeks, you can use it postpartum or save it for later. There is no expiration. A tincture created from your placenta can be used to:
- Provide a boost if you’re feeling sluggish.
- Add (a drop) to milk, juice, or water after your baby reaches 6 months to aid with teething or provide a source of soothing during fussy spells.
- Assist women during their menstrual cycle or as they navigate menopause.
- Improve skin health and appearance.
