Placenta Benefits
Your body spends about nine months growing, nurturing, and feeding your beautiful baby. The placenta is created for your baby, because of your baby. It's the filter between you and baby, filled with extra nutrients, minerals, hormones and goodness. When your child is born, your body no longer needs the placenta and it is born soon after your baby is.. For thousands of years, women from other cultures have realized the benefits of consuming their placentas. In nature, most mammals do the same thing.
Many benefits are reported by women who take placenta capsules or ingest their placenta in a different way. The most common ones are:

Placenta Capsules
Prepared by using the Raw Method, your placenta is picked up within the first couple hours of birth. With great respect and strict adherence to BBP safety and food prep guidelines the placenta is rinsed well, trimmed, sliced thin, and dehydrated. When it is completely dried out, the pieces are then ground to a powder and put into vegetable-based capsules. These are then placed in a dark, sealed jar which is labeled and dated specifically for you. Your placenta capsules (or as some partners call them, "happy pills") are processed and delivered back to you within about 48 hours of receiving the placenta itself.
If this is for you...

Please contact Sweet Dreams Birth Services as soon as you can, so I can share more information with you as to how we will get your placenta, and what you can do prior to your birth to help this process go smoothly! (The last thing in the world you want on your baby's BIRTHday is to run into a snag from the hospital because they weren't aware of your intentions!)
