Limitations & Disclaimer

Dreambirth is not a licensed medical professional and therefore am not able to diagnose, treat or prescribe for any health condition. Services and fees are for the preparation and encapsulation of your placenta, not for the sale of the pills. No specific benefits or effects are promised. Any benefits will vary from person to person. Some of the ascribed benefits of placenta consumption are supported by research; however these benefits have not been evaluated or approved by any health authority. It is your responsibility to determine whether using placenta preparations may be of benefit to you.

Always speak to your care provider regarding any questions about your health, safety and wellbeing. Placenta services are not meant to be a replacement for medical advice or prescription medicines. If you are experiencing symptoms of postpartum depression, low milk supply, or other medical concerns please speak to your midwife or doctor.

Client Responsibility

It is the client’s responsibility to notify Dreambirth as soon after the birth as possible (preferably the same-day as the birth itself between 7am - 9pm) to request pick-up or receipt of the placenta(s) by Dreambirth at the location previously agreed upon by both parties.

Failure to do so may result in delayed placenta preparation and encapsulation and may cause decreased potency of nutrients, hormones, and other beneficial attributes of the placenta(s), and even spoilage of the placenta(s) which would render it unusable for encapsulation.

It is also the client’s responsibility to discuss release of her placenta(s) after her birth from the establishment where she births and to ensure proper storage of her placenta(s) in a refrigerator or cooler with the placenta(s) placed on ice until it can be picked up or delivered to Dreambirth for preparation and encapsulation.

**Your placenta must not be treated with alcohol, formalin, or any other preservative.

Storage & Transportation

Your placenta may be kept at room temperature for 3-4 hours. After that it should be refrigerated or otherwise kept cool. If lotus birth is being practiced, ice packs can be wrapped around the placenta to prevent spoilage. If it is going to be more than 3 or 4 days before the placenta can be prepared it should be frozen. A frozen placenta may require an extra one or two days of preparation time to allow for gentle thawing.

Your placenta should be prepared for transport by placing it in two freezer-strength zipper storage bags, or in an airtight container ie; clean plastic or Tupperware container, and then into a cooler with icepacks or into a refrigerator.

It is important to note that there may be circumstances under which your placenta can not be used. Significant abnormalities of the placenta may necessitate your doctor or midwife sending your placenta to Pathology for further examination. Other conditions, such as signs of infection during labour, may mean that consuming your placenta will not be beneficial to you. If in doubt we will consult with you before proceeding. It should be possible to claim your placenta after Caesarean birth.

**Please let me know if you have any health concerns which may affect the health of your placenta or the health and safety of anyone who may come into contact with your placenta.

Refunds

In the event your placenta is unavailable to you (eg sent to Pathology and not released) or if you change your mind and choose to terminate this contract prior to releasing your placenta to us, any fees paid excluding the deposit will be refunded in full.

If you choose to terminate this contract after releasing your placenta to us but before any preparation has begun, we will return your placenta to you for disposal. Your $50 deposit will be retained, but any other portion of the fees you will not be liable for.

There will be no refund and payment will be due in full once preparation has begun, even if you choose not to take delivery of the finished capsules.

**Please remember that I am also a birth doula and on-call. In the event that I am with clients when you call, there may be a delay of 24 hours or more in preparing your placenta.
