Have you written on your birth plan that you are taking your placenta and discussed this with your midwife/doula/doctor? *

Yes

No, but we will

In the last 6 months, which of these have you been tested for? *

For your own protection, we MUST have honest answers to the following questions. It is a requirement to produce your hospital antenatal card displaying this information.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis C

HIV/AIDS

Were all tests negative? *

Yes

No

Do you understand the possible risk of consuming your placenta after having smoked during your pregnancy? *

Research is being done on the effects of smoking during pregnancy on the placenta. Until this is completed, we recommend avoiding the consumption of placenta as heavy metal toxins found in cigarette smoke have been found to remain trapped in placental tissue. The overall buildup of these heavy metals may increase to the point that would make it unsafe to consume by the time the baby is born.

N/A - non-smoker

Yes

No

Have you ever suffered from anxiety, depression, excessive 'baby blues' or postnatal depression? *

The ‘baby blues’ are a known symptom of birth and mothers are told to expect to feel sad, anxious and very emotional around the third day after the birth, usually when the milk engorges the breasts. These symptoms can sometimes develop into postnatal depression and mothers with a history of anxiety and depression are considered higher risk of developing PND. Studies have proven that the symptoms of postnatal depression are linked with the severe lack of essential nutrients such as vitamin B6 and hormone CRH (our stress reducer hormone), both which are of high supply in the placenta. Consuming the placenta in raw smoothies or in capsules is believed to replace lost essential nutrients and hormones and may contribute towards prevention of the ‘baby blues’ and postnatal depression. Medications - When prescribed for a pregnant mum, the medication is usually considered safe and usually regular medication is not retained by the placenta in significant enough quantities to be a problem when ingested. However we do advise you to seek the advice of your doctor.
