More Information
Once your baby is born, please contact me to set up a time to pick up your placenta. Typically, the local hospitals release placentas within 24 hours. If you are purchasing Placenta Encapsulation Services in addition to Birth Doula Services, generally, I will be able to take your placenta home after your birth. Sometimes hospital regulations do not allow me to remove the placenta from hospital premises immediately after birth, so other arrangements will be made. If your placenta will not be able to be retrieved for more than 48 hours, I request that it be frozen until I can begin the process of encapsulation. More information will be given once you have contracted with me for services.
Safety
I follow OSHA & EPA guidelines for blood-borne pathogen transmission, infection control & standards for sanitation, and safe food handling. Disposable equipment is used when possible, and other equipment is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected for each client.
