FAQs

  • Meconium is sterile, does not contain the faecal bacteria that normal stool does and therefore is perfectly fine to encapsulate. Meconium is only dangerous for the baby to inhale, but is otherwise harmless. If your placenta is heavily stained we will wash it thoroughly before encapsulation preparation.

  • Rarely, Group B Strep can lead to uterine infection. If you developed a uterine infection or fever during your labor, your placenta would not be considered useful in healing, and is likely to be taken to the pathology lab for testing.

    Otherwise Group B Strep is not contradicted in placenta remedy preparation.

  • Yes!

    If you are on medication during your pregnancy we ask you to seek advice from your consultant before deciding on placenta encapsulation.
