Sister Wives star Mykelti Brown Padron bit her placenta after the birth of her twins, but Robyn Brown made sure to go down as the first in the family to eat her after-birth. If you snacked while watching this TLC series Sunday night, it likely put a damper on your appetite.
Sister Wives: Mykelti Brown Padron Gnawed Her Placenta
Sister Wives often gives out just too much information. That said, Sunday night’s episode probably fell into that category for some fans. Once a picture of Mykelti Brown Padron‘s placenta popped up with her teeth marks visible, fans became squeamish.
The mom of three believes, like other new moms, that ingesting the placenta wards off postpartum depression. Plus, it is said to hold other valuable qualities. Mykelti Padron said it is chock-full of nutrients.
The afterbirth is far from appetizing, so instead of gnawing on it, they often put it in capsules, making it easier for the new mom. But it looks like Mykelti couldn’t wait for that to happen. That bite likely caused the word “ick” to be heard in living rooms nationwide as fans tuned in.
Robyn Brown – Just Like Her Best Seller
Mykelti explained how the nutrient-full placenta works wonders for the new mother. Then Robyn Brown pipped in and proudly claimed her spot as the first woman in the family to eat her placenta. She ingested hers in the encapsulated form.
Again, this is probably too much information. But on top of that, some Sister Wives viewers suggested Robyn Brown tried to steal away Mykelti Padron’s spotlight. This reminds some viewers of the bestseller that the Sister Wives spouses penned years ago.
Robyn, who was still fairly new to the family, announced that she filled one spot on her bucket list. She said she wrote a bestseller.
She always wanted to pen a bestselling book. But fans reminded her back then that she didn’t write that book alone, she was one of five who did. Now she’s doing the same thing, making Mykelti’s placenta event all about her doing it first.
Sister Wives: Mykelti and Robyn – Ick-Factor
Some Sister Wives fans found too much information when tuning in on Sunday night. Many commented that just the thought of eating a placenta was disgusting.
But they weren’t alone. Meri Brown couldn’t shake it off after hearing about the discussion. She declared there is no way you could ever get her to do that.
Then, Christine first thought it was disgusting. But Mykelti, who ate her placenta after her first birth, swears by it. So, Christine is more open to the topic today. She wished that she knew about it when having her children. She also reminded the Sister Wives viewers that mammals do this… they eat the afterbirth.
While Robyn Brown and Mykelti Padron shared this rather personal information, fans thought Robyn chiming in was another example of her attempting to steal the limelight. But many still thought it was a disturbing ritual after the birth of a baby, whether it is talked about on or off the TLC screen.
