Most parents assume someone will protect their placenta. Until they find out it was discarded before they ever got to see it. This guide makes sure that never happens to you.

One mom planned to create a cord keepsake, but when her placenta was sent to pathology, it was gone forever. She was devastated!!

These things happen more often than people think - usually because parents weren’t informed of what to say, who is responsible for the placenta, or what their rights are.

Occasionally, placentas may also be preserved in chemicals if sent to pathology - making them unsafe for further use - although this is not common, it has happened! It’s simply something to be aware of and prevent with clear communication.

This guide ensures you have a clear, confident plan long before labour begins.

Keep It Whole, Safe & Yours - From Delivery to Home

Whether you want art, ceremony, or encapsulation - it all starts with one thing: protection.

If your intention is to turn your placenta into a lasting keepsake, having this guide is not optional - it’s essential.

You absolutely need a Plan - Without a plan, you risk:

- Your placenta being thrown out automatically

- Staff assuming you don’t want it

- It going to pathology unnecessarily

- Miscommunication at shift change

- Your support person not knowing what to ask for

- Losing the chance for a part of you & your birth story that deserves reverence

Your placenta deserves intention, clarity, and protection.

This guide gives you the steps, wording, and preparation you need so your placenta stays in your hands - no matter how your birth unfolds.
