A: Placenta encapsulation is a process offered by Mothers in Arms where a whole placenta is transformed into pills that can be taken postpartum. While many mums report a positive recovery experience, it's important to note that there is limited scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of placenta encapsulation. When a person uses any type of health treatment and sees an improvement in their symptoms, they may be experiencing the placebo effect. For hundreds of years, doctors have known that when a patient with a health condition expects their symptoms to improve, they often do improve. Today, we understand that the placebo effect can be quite powerful and might explain the positive outcomes some mothers experience. Despite the lack of robust scientific backing, many find value in placenta encapsulation, and at Mothers in Arms, we are committed to supporting mothers through various postpartum care options tailored to their unique needs.

Q: I struggle to take capsules or pills due to their size. Are there alternatives available for placenta encapsulation at Mothers in Arms? A: We understand that taking large capsules can be challenging for some individuals. At Mothers in Arms, the capsules we use for placenta encapsulation are a size 0, which is slightly smaller than a regular Panadol tablet and approximately half the size of a typical horse-sized multivitamin. For those who still find capsules difficult to swallow, we also offer a powder form of the encapsulated placenta. This powder can be easily integrated into your daily diet by adding it to smoothies, protein balls, cookies, or any other food item, enabling you to get the nutritional benefits without the struggle of swallowing pills. Our commitment is to ensure your postpartum recovery is as comfortable and effective as possible.

A: It is entirely understandable to feel apprehensive about others' opinions regarding your decision to opt for placenta encapsulation. At Mothers in Arms, we emphasize that pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period are deeply personal experiences. You are the one directly coping with the effects of a newborn, your recovery, and your mental health. While it's lovely that others may have their own opinions, they are not the ones in your situation. Placenta encapsulation has been reported by many mums to aid in a positive postpartum recovery, giving them increased energy and emotional stability. Ultimately, the choice to encapsulate your placenta is about supporting your well-being during this crucial time. Remember that your health and comfort are paramount, and making informed decisions that best suit your needs should be your priority.
