If your first reaction to "placenta encapsulation" is a hard no, we get it. Stephanie had the same reaction 13 years ago. But stay with us, because by the end of this episode, a lot of moms find themselves thinking: okay, this actually makes sense.
In this episode, Stephanie and Nikki break down what placenta encapsulation really is, how the process works, and the top five reasons moms are choosing it as part of their postpartum recovery. We talk about what the research does and doesn't say, what nutrients the placenta contains, and why timing matters so much in those first few days. Stephanie also shares her own experience and how encapsulation played a role in her milk coming in.
We also cover what to do if encapsulation isn't your thing. From burial to donation to cadaver dog training (yes, really), there are more options for your placenta than you might think.
This one is all about giving you the information so you can decide what feels right for your body and your postpartum journey. No pressure. Just options.
