Sarah Baker drew my attention to her recent article, describing her journey toward discovering the benefits of placenta for postpartum recovery.
Sarah writes:
After struggling through the depths of post-partum depression following the birth of my son 7 years ago, I was curious when I heard that there might actually be a way to prevent a repeat of that scenario. I was a little skeptical at first. Was it really possible to prevent post-partum depression (PPD)? Isn’t that just “one of those things” that some women go through following childbirth?
She goes on to describe her experience with the capsules, saying
Just a few hours after taking the first dose, I already started feeling more stable. Suddenly I could think more clearly and didn’t feel on the verge of tears anymore! And for 7 weeks, those suckers made my post-partum experience a night-and-day difference from my experience after my first birth. I felt wonderful: I had so much energy, even while being sleep-deprived, I healed quickly from my birth and best of all, I didn’t have the teeniest inkling of PPD. I would do it over again in a heartbeat.
And, Sarah used PBi-Certified Placenta Encapsulation Specialist® Briana Mager, in St. Louis, MO to have her placenta capsules made for her!
Thanks for the great article, Sarah. And thanks Briana for doing such a great job for women in St. Louis!
