Have you heard about the benefits of placenta encapsulation? Studies show that placenta is extremely nutrient rich, high in iron, protein, vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 and of course, your own natural hormones, making it perfectly made for you, by you. Experts agree that the placenta retains hormones, and thus reintroducing them to your system may ease hormonal fluctuations. An Independent Placenta Services Specialist is now available in our area! Courtney Durfee, of CD Doula Services, will personally prepare your capsules after your birth so that you can enjoy your postpartum, recover quicker and avoid the baby blues.

Traditionally placenta capsules are used to:
* Balance your hormones
* Enhance your milk supply
* Increase your energy
* Combat fatigue

Placenta capsules may help:
* Quicker postpartum recovery
* Bring the body back into balance
* Prevent the “baby blues”
* Shorten postpartum bleeding time
* Return your uterus to pre-pregnancy size quicker (Increases rate of uterine involution)
* Increase postpartum iron levels

Don't stress, Leslie! There are surely a multitude of choices when it comes to birth and babies but know that you will make the choices that are right for you and your baby. Do your research and follow your gut :)
