I understand that I am required to ask my nurse for my placenta when in postpartum. When delivering in a hospital, I will sign the release form to obtain my placenta upon discharge from the hospital. I may bring my placenta home covered in ice or give it to my encapsulator in my room before I leave the hospital.
If I deliver in a birthing center, I will ask the nurse to keep my placenta for me tagged with my name and date of birth to keep deep froze for our pick up. I understand once I've delivered, I will contact my encapsulator directly, as soon as possible.
Once I've delivered & I have my placenta in hand, I understand that it is my responsibility to contact my OYPE encapsulator directly via text or phone call between the hours of 8am-8pm. I understand my encapsulator will not do overnight pick ups.
I understand that if my placenta is left out for more than 4 hours before being covered in ice, refridgerated or frozen, my placenta will be deemed unsuitable for consumption & no refund will be given.
