Postpartum Blues go away and don’t come back another day!
Sharna Burgess is ingesting her placenta in pill form after welcoming son Zane.
“I highly recommend this,” Burgess, 37, wrote during a Tuesday Instagram Story Q&A. “I had my placenta picked up by our baby nurse who is also a doula,” Burgess went on to write. “She processed my placenta and put it into capsules for me.”
Burgess claims to take two pills a day and treats them like a vitamin to keep the baby blues at bay.
Burgess said that postpartum placenta ingestion is said to help with hormone balancing, milk production, PPD prevention and all around recovery.
According to her own experience so far, Burgess wrote, “My recovery has been amazing and my mood and milk the whole time have been positive.”
When asked by a different Instagram follower about her postpartum emotions, the new mom called them a flood.
She explained, “It’s beautiful and it’s terrifying. I have these irrational fears of all the ways I can f–k it up. But then instinct also kicks in and I realize I got this.”
Burgess gave birth on June 28 to her and Brian Austin Green’s first child together. While showing the world Zane’s face for the first time on Instagram, Burgess wrote that becoming a mom cracked her wide open. She continued to write, “I never knew love of this kind or capacity existed and it’s beautifully overwhelming to process. … I will love him and worry about him until my last breath and beyond.”
