Important Placenta Encapsulation Information
During Pregnancy - Blood work, Birth Plan
- Provide your blood work with HIV and Hepatitis A/B/C (this may show up as HBsAg or HbSAg on lab work) status to [email protected] or screenshot it to 720-593-0014. These tests are typically performed in the panel done in early pregnancy.
- Include in your birth plan. Discuss with your nurse at hospital admission that you are keeping the placenta.
Preparing For Birth - Call/text, Bag it up
- Things to bring for packaging the placenta:
- YOUR OWN DISPOSABLE COOLER: Styrofoam fishing/camping ones work great (they’re at King Soopers by the ice machine)
- Two gallon-size bags to double bag the placenta itself – however, most birth places will have containers. THIS IS A BACKUP and ensures the container will fit in your cooler.
- Two quart-sized bags to fill up with hospital ice
- If all else fails in packaging, use a hospital bucket filled with ice, bag the placenta in any plastic bag (hospitals have zip lock bags), not allowing the placenta to touch the ice. Make sure the ice stays fresh until pick up/drop off.
- Call or text (7am-10pm) 720-593-0014 when labor begins to let me know your placenta will be here soon. I understand you've got a lot going on at this point and won't be offended if this doesn't happen.
After Birth - Call//text, Keep it cool
- Call or text (7am-10pm) 720-593-0014 after birth. I will pick up your placenta during daytime hours.
- **Keep the placenta cool until it is picked up. Get it on ice within one hour of delivery or in a refrigerator within 4 hours of delivery. Treat it like a steak.**
- Do not allow your placenta to be sent to the pathology department. Ask to speak with a patient advocate if necessary.
- Pay any remaining balance (Zelle, Venmo, Paypal, cash) when I pick up the placenta.
- REST, enjoy your new baby, and I will take care of the rest!
