The 35-year-old said that she is eating her placenta (in the form of supplement pills) after her son’s birth, to aid her body’s recovery and to try to fight off symptoms of postnatal depression.
The reality star took to her personal blog to inform her fans that she is actually going to freeze her placenta and turn it in to pill form!
Kim said she had heard stories during her first pregnancy about mothers who steered clear of placenta encapsulation, only to then suffer postpartum depression. “What do I have to lose?” she confessed on kimkardashianwest.com.
“You are looking much better”, Jenner told her, to which Kardashian West responded, “I am feeling much better”.
With a placenta diet and plenty of relaxation in her future, Kim should be doing just fine herself! “I totally recommend it for anyone considering it!”
Kardashian West and husband Kanye West welcomed their second child on December 5, a few weeks before his due date.
“I really need to get down to 120”. Kim revealed that only Caitlyn would be eating the pizza as she was eating healthier now and she was trying to shed off the pounds she had gained during the duration of her pregnancy.
Commenting on a review into published research studies on placentophagy, Louise Silverton, Director for Midwifery at the Royal College of Midwives, said: “As this paper finds there is little or no evidence around women eating their placenta”. She did the same thing following the birth of her first child, daughter North West. Kourtney Kardashian ate her placenta pills and spoke about the benefits.
