In a surprising turn of events, Kim Kardashian recently posted about her decision to consume her placenta on her blog, which, by the way, you have to pay to access. Seriously, the fact that I have to fork over cash to read about Kim’s placenta journey is even more shocking than the actual news!
So, What’s the Deal?
Kim’s been taking her placenta in pill form, which is probably the most practical way to go about it. Thanks to some intel from Refinery 29, we got the scoop on her post. For just $2.99 a month, you could dive into this world—though I can’t help but think it’s like signing up for a gym membership: once you’re in, it’s hard to get out. I can just picture needing to meet Kim face-to-face to cancel!
Kim’s Perspective
In her blog, Kim admits she’s not typically the “holistic” type, but she heard stories from mothers about how eating the placenta helped them avoid postpartum depression. “So many moms said they felt better when they took the pills after their second baby,” she wrote. While the science around this is debated, it’s fascinating how personal experiences shape these decisions. Plus, the company that made her placenta pills clearly has an eye for style, as evidenced by her tweet featuring them.
A Personal Experience
I almost went down the same path after having my first baby. The doula I considered included placenta pills in her package—how could I say no to that? But a story from a birth board left me a bit queasy. One mom described taking a literal bite of her freshly delivered placenta. Yikes! That’s an image that’s hard to shake. I ended up skipping the pills, but if I had to consume it, capsules would have been the way to go—not in a smoothie or taco, and definitely not raw!
Back to Kim’s Blog Post
(Did I mention you have to pay for it?) “I didn’t want the baby blues, and I thought taking a pill made of my own hormones would be a good idea,” she explained. While there’s little scientific backing for the benefits, many women stand by their personal experiences. As long as it makes them feel better, who am I to judge?
