However, new mother Kailyn Lowry, known for her appearance on MTV's "Teen Mom," has taken the concept of consuming one's placenta to a new and somewhat disturbing level.
Lowry proudly shared a video on her social media in which she can be seen blending her placenta into a smoothie, which she apparently consumed.
From TMZ:
She wasn't just going to ingest her own placenta, though ... it looks like Kailyn spread it around on paper as well, showing off different art pieces she made with her uterus leftovers.
We'll say this ... the placenta Picassos aren't half bad -- and it looks like she/her fam took precautions handling it, including using gloves and other protective gear. KL writes of the whole experience ... "This was the second time I got to work with @lancasterplacentaco."
That's a company that offers placenta encapsulation services ... apparently, it's big business.
Of course, all this placenta fun comes on the heels of her announcing that she welcomed another kid -- her fifth, a son named Rio. She shares the baby with her BF, Elijah Scott ... and Kailyn revealed last week that she gave birth last year, keeping it under wraps.
I understand that consuming one's placenta is a highly personal choice, but honestly, it makes me feel queasy.
The thought of simply blending it into a raw smoothie is even more nauseating. At the very least, it would be more palatable if it were cooked in a pan!
