Our Placenta Processing & Safety Standards
Birth Perceptions provides transparent information about placenta handling, storage, processing, sanitation and client communication so families can understand the service before booking.
Before processing
Clients should follow the current hospital or birth-provider guidance for placenta release and safe cold storage. Birth Perceptions provides a storage guide and pickup information to help clients prepare.
Transport & storage
The placenta should be kept appropriately cold after birth and transported according to the agreed service instructions. Clients should confirm their hospital's release requirements before delivery.
Processing & sanitation
Birth Perceptions should publish only the processing, sanitation, equipment, training and certification details that are current and verifiable. The service should be documented clearly rather than relying on vague claims.
When processing may not be possible
A placenta may be declined when handling, storage, contamination, timing, release, or other service requirements are not met. Clients should ask before booking if they have unusual circumstances.
Client communication
Clear instructions should cover booking, release, storage, pickup or client transport, processing timeline, finished-product delivery and what happens if service requirements cannot be met.
