Placenta FAQ

If you're birthing in the hospital they will have you sign a release form for your placenta.

A cooler is provided for my birth photography and/or doula clients only. If you are only booking for placenta services you will have to provide your own cooler. If birthing in the hospital they will provide you with ice.

If I'm already attending your birth as your photographer or doula, I will take your placenta home with me. If I am not your photographer or doula we will arrange pickup for soon after you have your baby..

I have a fridge specifically for placentas. Your placenta gets labeled with your information before it gets put in the fridge.

Everything is labeled with your name from start to finish. Only one placenta is processed at a time, from start to finish.

Once your placenta has been processed, I will drop off to your home unless other arrangements have been made.
