Kim gave birth on December 5 to her and Kanye West’s second child, a baby boy named Saint – and news about Kim eating placenta pills might come as a shock to some of her fans.
According to the post on her website Kimkardashianwest.com, the new mother said she freeze-fried her placenta and made it into a pill form in order to stay energized and erase any possibilities of depression. She also consumed her placenta after giving birth to her first child, two-year-old daughter North West, for the same reasons.
In any case, here’s to wishing her placenta pills will boost her mom power to take care of her family.
From what I hear, momming is hard, why not try to avoid crippling depression? “I have 70 pounds to lose and so far”.
The reality star recently revealed that she had a tough time getting pregnant and giving birth to Saint was “extremely painful”, so having more babies may be something she doesn’t even want to think about right now.
“You are looking much better”, Caitlyn said encouragingly, to which Kim replied, “I am feeling much better”. “I will be sad when my placenta pills run out”, she wrote on Instagram. I definitely had to do it again.
The TV personality then shared the great results of consuming her placenta. “I totally recommend it for anyone considering it!”

And small amounts of oxytocin, a hormone that promotes lactation, found in the placenta suggests that women who eat it may be able to produce more milk – making breastfeeding easier.
