No, I didn't. After just having a baby, I didn't need to be on my feet within the first 24-48 hours (when the placenta needs to be dehydrated). I had a close friend who encapsulated the placentas from my last two births for me. After the birth of my 5th child, my husband plans to do the work for me. He's not super crazy about doing it himself, but he's willing because he knows how important those pills are to me (and, frankly, to my family as a whole).

I'm going the encapsulation route and paying someone to do it for me. I really want to avoid PPD with 6 children and returning to work full-time, and I'm willing to try anything that may work!

ive actually looked into it and there are people near me who do it for about £150. If i can afford it i may do the capsules - definately not smoothie but if its going to help and i can save the money i think it would be a good thing - especially if im going to have 4-5 kids to deal with and work to return to after just 3- weeks !!!

The midwife offered me my placenta after I had DS2, this was just a standard hospital delivery in Ireland. I didn't take it.
I remember when my cat had kittens (they say cats like to go off on their on to give birth but mine decided she wanted to give birth on my lap), she gobbled up the placentas straight away after the first three kittens. By the last two kittens she was completely exhausted and was ignoring everything, I had to break the sacs to let the kittens out and I passed the placentas over to her and she ate them.
I wouldn't be against it but I don't think I could justify forking out more than 100 quid to get it encapsulated. If I wanted to eat it I'd probably just eat it, it's not that disgusting, I don't mind raw meat, I like my steak as rare and bloody as possible! I'm not going to eat it though!
