AceShowbiz - Kim Kardashian reveals on her personal website and app that she's eating her own placenta after giving birth to her second child Saint West. The 35-year-old reality star shares on Twitter a photo of her placenta pills in a bottle labeled with "Kim Your Amazing Placenta."
"So, I'm really not this holistic person or someone who would have ever considered eating my placenta. I actually thought Kourtney would have soooo done this, but I don't think she did," Kim writes, although Kourtney Kardashian did consume placenta pills as well. "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)."

This isn't the first time Kim has consumed her own placenta. She did the same thing after giving birth to North West to avoid any postpartum depression. "I heard so many stories when I was pregnant with North of moms who never ate their placenta with their first baby and then had postpartum depression," she shares.
"But then when they took the pills with their second baby, they did not suffer from depression! So I thought, why not try it? What do I have to lose?" she continues, "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 started researching and read about so many moms who felt this same way and said the overall healing process was so much easier."
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star reveals the benefits of consuming her placenta. "I had great results and felt so energized and didn't have any signs of depression! I definitely had to do it again," she says, "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!"
Other celebrity moms who have consumed their placentas include January Jones, Kim Zolciak and Holly Madison.
