‘It’s freeze dried’: Yup, new mum Kim wants to eat her own placenta

She kept fans updated on every detail of her second pregnancy, including having sex 'like, 500 times a day' to conceive. So it's no surprise that Kim Kardashian is being fairly upfront about her post-pregnancy plans too.

Taking to her website last night, the second-time mum revealed she hopes to keep any potential post-partum depression at bay following Saint's birth… by eating her own placenta.

"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 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, 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?"

As post-birth supplements go, Kim said she's a fan of the placenta pill option as it is all natural. 

"I can't go wrong with taking a pill made of my own hormones – made by me, for me," she added.

It's not the first time Kim has taken the pills either – she did the same after North's birth, while her sister Kourtney took them after welcoming her son Reign a year ago:

 

Yummy…PLACENTA pills! No joke…I will be sad when my placenta pills run out. They are life changing! #benefits #lookitup
