Kim Kardashian West Eats Her Placenta After Giving Birth
It's unbelievable but true. It has been reported that, popular Reality TV star and wife of Kanye West 'Kim Kardashian West' was planning to eat her placenta after giving birth to her child.
This according to her, is in a bid to reduce her chances of experiencing postnatal depression after birth which is normally experience by most women.
The reality TV star said, after the birth of her son Saint West, she had her placenta dried up and turn into tablets which she is now taking daily.
Eating the placenta is known as Placentophagy and it is becoming a growing trend with most actresses giving thumps up to the effect.
majority of women including men who eat placenta claim it contains nutrients usually passed between mother and foetus during pregnancy and can also aid milk production.
The placenta can be consumed in different ways which includes, making a smoothie within hours after giving birth, by having it dried and made into pills to be taken each day, or by placing a piece of it in the gums.
Kardashian West revealed her unusual decision in a post on her app, where she explained she had also eaten her placenta after the birth of her first child North West. She claims the tablets give her a “surge of energy” and make her feel “really healthy and good”.
“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 wrote.

“I really didn't want the baby blues and thought I can't go wrong with taking a pill made of my own hormones—made by me, for me. […] I totally recommend it for anyone considering it!”
Kardashian may be enthusiastic about the practice, but some medical experts are hesitant to endorse it.
