Every newborn comes into this world accompanied by their placenta, which is created in their mother’s body to nourish them as they grow in her belly. The placenta has also been found to contain a plethora of goodness for the mom’s own postpartum wellbeing, among them are her very own natural hormones. Re-introducing these hormones back into the mom’s system is believed to have positive effects on her health, such as easing her postpartum hormonal fluctuations.
Madam May Goh, who founded Mama Confinement Services in 2016, has always supported this process due to her wealth of knowledge in the area of postpartum care and all the benefits a mom’s placenta can have for her own health. Desiring that more moms have this golden opportunity of consuming the nourishment of their own placenta, she founded her own placenta treatment service, namely the placenta encapsulation, making it easy for new moms to consume their personalised placenta capsules as a health supplement.
“In Malaysia, many moms have known of my service of making placenta into capsules for the past two years. Most of them have reaped great results after consuming their encapsulated placenta, and they started sharing the information about my service to their family and friends. Eventually, more and more moms were using my service at Mama Confinement Services to encapsulate their placenta for their postpartum wellbeing,” she shared with BabyTalk recently.
Madam Goh expressed her gratitude to all the readers of BabyTalk for their votes, to the point of her centre, Mama Confinement Services emerging the winner in the category of Placenta Encapsulation Services in the BabyTalk & MamaPapa Readers’ Choice Awards 2020. She also thanked the organisers for having this annual awards event. “I am honored and proud to be awarded the BabyTalk & MamaPapa Readers’ Choice Awards 2020 awards. I promise to always uphold my responsibilities, to work hard and do better,” she graciously stated.
For her many years of experience, the biggest challenge she keeps facing is when her clients are willing and eager to try it, but can’t stomach the thought of consuming capsules made from their own placenta. “In cases such as these, I have to explain to them that it’s not as gross or horrible as they imagine it to be, but instead, it’s naturally beneficial for them,” she revealed. Apart from that, Madam Goh does not really have that many obstacles in her way of promoting and developing her services, for she is always ready to answer any queries her clients may have pertaining to prenatal or postnatal issues. “Besides, I am also a certified placenta production expert, and a large part of my responsibilities include ensuring the wellbeing of mothers and babies.”
Madam Goh is looking to expand her services to every state in Malaysia by the next five years, so that every Malaysian mom will have the opportunity to get to know and enjoy this advantage that is unique to them after each birth. It will be great to be able to serve moms all over the country, she said, instead of just in one area which is currently the case.
In conclusion, Madam Goh wishes all moms-to-be out there to know this: Your placenta is perfectly made for you. Marvelously, the placenta created by a mother contains her very own natural hormones. These hormones are retained following birth and the procedure of ‘reintroducing’ them back to her system is believed to ease postpartum hormonal fluctuations. It’s a compelling message indeed, and we wish Madam Goh the very best in her future endeavors!
