Placenta Services - Starting at $200
Utah Family Doulas offers the comfort and convenience of in-home placenta services.
The idea of ingesting one's placenta is not a new one. In fact, it's centuries old and there is a significant amount of anecdotal evidence to support the benefits of the practice.
Why do we do it?
During your pregnancy, the placenta takes over the production of many hormones, including CRH, a stress-reducing hormone. After delivery, it takes about 6-8 weeks for your body to start producing these hormones again. That's where placenta consumption comes in. It fills the gaps to make you feel balanced and in control right from the start.
Possible benefits include:
-Increased release of the hormone oxytocin, which helps the uterus return to it's pre-pregnancy size and encourages bonding with baby.
-Placental Opioid-Enhancing Factor (POEF), this stimulates your body's natural opioids, including endorphins to relieve pain and increase well-being
-Increase in CRH (reduces stress)
-Faster and smoother recovery time
-Increased milk supply
-Restoration of iron levels in the blood
-Balanced moods
-Increased energy
-Lower risk of PPA/PPD
-Decrease in postprtum bleeding
