Kim Kardashian revealed in a new blog post that she is going to be eating her placenta now that she has given birth to her second child, Saint, with husband Kanye West since she had such good results when she did it after giving birth to her first child, North.
"So I'm really not this holistic person or someone who would have ever considered eating my placenta," the 35-year-old reality star wrote on her website on Monday. "And when I say 'eat my placenta,' I mean that I'm having it freeze-dried and made into a pill form - not actually fry it like a steak and eat it (which some people do, BTW)."
She goes on to explain that when she was first pregnant with North, she heard so many stories about moms who didn't do this with their first child and suffered postpartum depression, but then took the pills with their second child an didn't suffer from depression.
"So I thought, why not try it?" she wrote. "What do I have to lose? I really didn't want the baby blues and I thought I can't go wrong with taking a pill made of my own hormones - made by me, for me...I had great results and felt so energized and didn't have any signs of depression! I definitely had to do it again. Every time I take a pill, I feel a surge of energy and feel really healthy and good. I totally recommend it for anyone considering it."
Kardashian isn't alone here either - January Jones, Kim Zolciak and Holly Madison have all consumed their placenta in pills too, according to Us Weekly. Kardashian's sister Kourtney, who is a mother of three, has also consumed her placenta.
About a year ago, Kourtney posted a photo of her placenta pills to Instagram. "Yummy...PLACENTA pills!" she wrote. "No joke...I will be sad when my placenta pills run out. They are life changing! #benefits #lookitup!"
