Kardashian said that the tablets give her a boost of energy and make her feel healthy, confirming: “I heard a lot of stories when I was pregnant about mothers who did not eat the placenta with their first child, and then had postpartum depression, but then when they ate the placenta with their second child They did not suffer from depression.
Does eating the placenta prevent postpartum depression?
Some claim that placenta accreta can prevent postpartum depression, reduce postpartum bleeding, improve mood and energy, and increase breast milk flow, but the truth is that there is no documented scientific evidence that eating the placenta provides health benefits.
Ingestion of the placenta after delivery can harm the health of both the mother and the baby, as the placenta is a complex organ that nourishes the fetus inside the womb by exchanging nutrients and oxygen and filtering waste through the umbilical cord.
Some eat the placenta in tablet form after it has been evaporated, dried, and processed. Some eat the placenta raw, cooked, or in juices or liquid extracts.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a warning against taking placenta capsules due to a condition in a child who suffered from group B streptococcus after a mother took those pills containing this bacteria and breastfed her newborn, and it is believed that the breast milk was infected with group B streptococcus acquired after ingesting an infected placenta.
Placentitis can be harmful to the mother and the baby, but if a person is looking for ways to improve health after childbirth, they should speak to a medical professional.
