My midwives suggested Rachel from Columbus Placenta Encapsulation. I am so glad they did, and I wish I knew about her sooner! My postnatal experience this time was so different than my first pregnancy. This time, taking the placenta pills that Rachel encapsulated for me, I never experienced "baby blues" or PPD. I did struggle with baby blues after my first pregnancy. In fact, there were moments when I felt euphoric. It was a stressful time for our family - adjusting to life with four people in our house, having extra family in from out of town, lots of sleepless nights. But I felt so calm and at peace with the world! I also truly believe that the placenta pills had a positive effect on breastfeeding. I've never had good supply and I have always struggled to establish a good breastfeeding relationship. This time, my supply has been great and breastfeeding couldn't be going better now that we're a few weeks in. Rachel's service was phenomenal. She picked up my placenta from the hospital and delivered my package the next day just as I was being released. I got a cord keepsake and tincture as well, which I am excited to have long term (I've heard you can take it for menopause!) She also sent me a gorgeous photograph of my placenta. I never thought that a body part, covered in blood and raw-looking, could be so beautiful. Rachel does exceptional work and I would recommend her to anybody! read more
