Her expected date of delivery is March 8th and if she goes with her plans she will join other celebrity moms in re-ingesting her placenta for its nutritional advantage.
It is a belief that re-ingesting the protective layer which links the baby to the wall of the uterus is a fantastic method to give the body vital nutrients.
