Sharna Burgess has joined the celebrity mum trend of eating one's own placenta after welcoming her first child with boyfriend Brian Austin Green last month.

The 'Dancing With The Stars' performer revealed on Wednesday, July 27, that she was eating her placenta to help with her recovery after giving birth to little Zane. The 37-year-old returned to Instagram this week after welcoming the newborn, who is her first child and Brian's fifth. The actor already has three children - Noah, 9, Bodhi, 8, and Journey, 5, with ex-wife Megan Fox, 36, as well as son Kassius, 20, with his former 'Beverly Hills 90210' co-star Vanessa Marcil, 53.

"Can you give more info on your placenta pills? Mama to be and thinking about doing it," one fan asked Sharna during an Instagram Q&A. "I highly recommend this," the dancer responded. "So I had my placenta picked up by our baby nurse who is also a doula. She processed my placenta in whatever way it needs to be done and put it into capsules for me. I take two a day like a vitamin," she continued. "It's said to help with hormone balancing, milk production, PPD prevention, and all-around recovery. My old testimony I can give is that my recovery has been amazing and my mood and milk the whole time have been positive."



 

Sharna recently shared a snap of Brian taking a nap alongside Zane. "I couldn't be more in love with this stage in our lives," she wrote. "The bliss, the snuggles, the excruciating love. The exhaustion, the pain, and even the adult diapers. Having Brian at my side throughout all of this and being everything and more we could possibly need is something I am grateful for beyond words," she added.



 

It's worth noting that a host of celebrity mums have vouched for the benefits of consuming one's own placenta. Reality star Kourtney Kardashian, a mother-of-three, opened up about how 'sad' she would be when her placenta pills would run out after the birth of her youngest, Reign, in 2014. She became such a huge fan that she posted a photo of the pills on Instagram, writing, "Yummy...PLACENTA pills! No joke...I will be sad when my placenta pills run out. They are life-changing! #benefits #lookitup."

'Clueless' star Alicia Silverstone also came forward about ingesting placenta, saying she took them in the form of her self-proclaimed 'happy pills.' "I've got to the point that my husband said, 'Did you have your happy pills today?'" Silverstone said on Live! with Kelly and Michael. "And I was really sad when they were gone. It really helped me." 'The Big Bang Theory' star Mayim Bialik, who faced criticism for doing the same, pointed out in an honest blog post, "Human beings are the only mammals that have chosen to not routinely ingest their placenta, which is consumed by every other mammal for its protein and iron-rich properties that are critical in helping the mother's body recuperate after giving birth. End of story."
