PLACENTA HANDLING POST-BIRTH

CLIENT agrees to following the care and handling of placenta after birth as stated in the "process" section of the site. CLIENT understands that it is imperative that these instructions are followed exactly. If not followed, the placenta cannot be processed.
*Please make sure that you have a Hepatitis C drawn during your routine bloodwork as some local hospital require this before your placenta can be released*
RISKS OF PLACENTA CONSUMPTION
CLIENT understand that the risks of consuming your placenta are the same as dining out in a restaraunt where food is prepared for you. Other risks may include: placenta being switched with another placenta that is not the CLIENT's at the hospital; placenta contamination with chemicals at hospital pathology labratory; and contamination during transport (either by hospital or failing to store properly).
**HOW TO CARE FOR AND HANDLE DELIVERY OF YOUR PLACENTA:
Please make sure to HAVE a LABELED container at the place of delivery. You MUST store your placenta ON ICE immediately after it is delivered. Please also note that I do not handle two placentas at the same time, so there will never be any risk of cross exchange.
Per our prior arrangements, I will come and pick it up,or it can be delivered. I will then communicate with you each day until it is finished and ready for pick up.
