THERE is nothing Khloe Kardashian won’t do to ensure she and her baby are doing well.

The pregnant reality star, 33, said on the most recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that she plans to eat her baby’s placenta after giving birth in late March or early April.

If that sounds familiar, it’s because her older sister Kim Kardashian hired Joni Lucarelli in 2015 turn her placenta into pills.

Lucarelli has encapsulated roughly 500 placentas for clients, including some stars.

She charges around $350 and the process usually results in between 100 and 200 capsules for the mum.

Kim, 37, raved about the process after giving birth to son Saint West, saying, “I had great results and felt so energised and didn’t have any signs of depression … Every time I take a pill, I feel a surge of energy and feel really healthy and good.”

Benefits purportedly include preventing post-partum depression, increasing breast milk production and reducing post-partum pain.

While some of the details of Khloe’s pregnancy are being kept a secret, she shared in January that she plans to give birth in Cleveland, where her boyfriend Tristan Thompson plays for the Cavaliers.

It’s unclear if she’ll tap Lucarelli for the job or choose a Cleveland native.
