Kailyn Lowry who recently gave birth to her fourth son drank her placenta mixed into a berry smoothie after saving it from his son’s birth on July 30.

On August 4, she shared Instagram stories photos of her holding a clear plastic glass with a straw, and it looked like any other reddish-purple fruity smoothie with berry remnants visible on the side.
