PICK UP AND DELIVERY
Collection of the placenta is normally behind the scenes, meeting birth support or partner at a meeting spot to do the hand over, if bub is born during the night, the placenta will be collected the following morning and if during the day will be that afternoon or the following morning.
Ideal for mothers to pack a fold down or cooler bag to keep the placenta safe, secure and cold. Midwife will pop the placenta into a enclosed medical bucket with mothers' hospital details on it, with some ice to keep it cold until collection.
Please just ask for a top up of ice, if needed.
Buderim private hospital are happy to pop placenta into the fridge until collection. SCUH are following.
Great reminder for the midwife and OB if mother has a cooler bag to keep the placenta.
Once the placenta has been disposed of into biowaste unfortunately we are unable to retrieve it.

ABOUT..
Hi Mum's, My name is Lyticia and i am the owner of mothers in arms placenta encapsulation. Mothers in arms was created after my third daughter was born. I wanted to create a safe, secure, trusting and personal encapsulating business as i questioned where my 2nd and 3rd childs placenta was actually processed?
It had me concerned and i started to investigate what was needed to become a placenta encapsulator, what qualifications, enviroments and certification to handle a placenta? After my investigation, i came the conclusion that my local town of Mackay at the time could benefit from a stable, educated and safe space where their placenta is being processed correctly, the communication of the process was open and allowing the client to see their own placenta during the process. As its often forgotten about and later left wondering.
​
I am a mother myself, to a 9, 7 and 6 year old. My first born and 3rd child are neurodivergent and keep me very busy and entertained when I'm not encapsulating.
I have personally taken my own placenta capsules with my 2nd and 3rd child after struggling with prenatal/ postnatal depression, grief & trauma of losing my mother, anxiety attacks and not recovering as quickly as what i was expecting to. With researching into a natural holistic approach when pregnant with my second, encapsulation was a natural alternative and not only that, but it was also supporting my baby for the 9 months in the womb and could potentially help me during the fourth trimester.
Personally, experiencing a quicker recovery with reduced bleeding, uterus shrinking to original size, increase milk supply and more energy during those sleepless nights especially with now two children under 2, placenta encapsulation was the best investment i had made towards my postpartum recovery.
​
Becoming pregnant unexpectantly with our third child, the first thing i did was book encapsulation as i knew it was the best money spent & my mental health was my biggest investment.
​
Birthing my third daughter was the most positive experience, i birthed her on the side of the road on the way to the hospital in the middle of the night underneath a full moon. Completely unorganised for the placenta to be birthed, i ended up holding my daughter with one arm and guiding my placenta with the other, wrapping it up with my daughter on my chest into my husband's shirt.
The moment i felt the placenta pulsating and giving its final nutrients to our baby was the moment i knew this was my calling.
​
I treat every placenta that comes into my care with respect, care and honour to such an amazing organ. My goal is to educate people on such an amazing organ that doesn't get the respect it should.
​
I look forward to helping mothers achieve a positive/smoother fourth trimester.
Love, Lyticia.
