How to prepare for your Ann Arbor placenta encapsulation:
1. If you are planning a hospital birth, make sure your care team knows that you want to keep your placenta ahead of time.
It is important to know your hospital's policy regarding releasing placentas. You may have to sign a release from the hospital or have additional blood work done towards the end of your pregnancy. Bring this up with your care provider at a prenatal visit.
2. Keep your placenta cool until processing.
Some hospitals require you to bring your own cooler to store it in. Make sure the placenta is placed in a clean container within the cooler.
3. Make your plan clear to the staff.
Again, it is always a good idea to remind the staff a few times before baby is born that you plan on keeping it. Sometimes that detail gets forgotten in the rush of your baby's arrival!
4. Once baby is here, please let your encapsulator know right away.
Please keep your placenta fresh on ice until it is picked up for processing. Typically we will come within 24 hours.

“I speak on behalf of my family in extending our heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service provided by AA Doulas. We worked directly with Stephanie to get the placenta encapsulated. From the very beginning, she was prompt returning calls and consistent with communication through text, addressing all our questions. Her willingness to go above and beyond, especially by accommodating my father’s schedule for pick up and personally delivering everything to our home, is greatly appreciated as we navigated being first time parents. Her commitment to providing a great customer experience has truly impressed us. We highly recommend Ann Arbor Doulas to others. Thank you sincerely for everything!”
