The unusual way Chrissy Teigen avoided post-partum depression. We can always trust model and general relatable human being, Chrissy Teigen to share intimate details of her life. Having been open about struggling with post-partum depression after giving birth to daughter Luna, who she has with husband John Legend, Chrissy has revealed her secret to avoiding the disorder the second time around.
Appearing on CBS Sunday Morning’s 40th anniversary special, the Lip Sync Battle host shared the unusual way she kept post-partum depression at bay after giving birth to her second child Miles Theodore. Eating her placenta.
Upon hearing Chrissy’s secret, host Rita Braver told her: “I don’t think I can have you eating your placenta on primetime,” to which Chrissy was surprised.
“Really? That’s not a normal thing?” she joked. “I’m in L.A., it’s very normal. They grill it here! You can try some of mine after.”
Earlier this year, the model opened up about her struggle with the disorder in the month’s following Luna’s birth.
“I couldn’t figure out why I was so unhappy. I blamed it on being tired and possibly growing out of the role: “Maybe I’m just not a goofy person anymore. Maybe I’m just supposed to be a mom.”
“I also just didn’t think it could happen to me. I have a great life. I have all the help I could need: John, my mother (who lives with us), a nanny. But postpartum does not discriminate. I couldn’t control it. And that’s part of the reason it took me so long to speak up: I felt selfish, icky, and weird saying aloud that I’m struggling. Sometimes I still do.”
