Placenta Encapsulation, cord ties & keepsakes
Why use a cord tie?
Cord ties are a traditional way of tying off the cord and are much softer than plastic clamps. You may hear that they are not recommended, but there is no evidence agaisnt them as long as they are tied tightly enough to ligate the cord vessels.
I offer beautiful, organic cotton cord ties, and placenta encapsulation. Prints and cord keepsakes on request. Please get in touch for more information.
Before your birth I will provide you with a cool bag with ice packs and a comprehensive set of instructions for your midwives if needed. You notify me when you go into labour (so I can clear my diary) and I will collect your placenta as soon as possible once you have had your baby.
On collection and again on arrival here it will be temperature tested, then processed using our dedicated, environmental health checked area to avoid any cross contamination. I will then return your capsules to you as soon as possible, either by post or delivery depending on your choice.
