Teen Mom: Kailyn Lowry Drank A Placenta Smoothie | Screen Rant
Kailyn Lowry of Teen Mom 2 recently gave birth to her fourth baby boy, and this time she turned the baby's placenta into a tasty treat.
Lowry's newest son is the MTV personality's second child with Chris Lopez. The pair haven't landed on a name for their second boy yet, but Lowry's first son with Lopez is Lux (2). It's surprising she decided to have yet another baby with Lopez after having parenting troubles with the baby daddy before. Not much has changed recently. She ranted on Instagram about how she didn't want Lopez at the birth, and said, “Why would I make the call to someone who has not been helpful, consistent, empathetic or compassionate for the entire 9 months?” Lopez also recently fired shots at Kailyn in a shocking Instagram Live video where he went off about how he didn't care about the pregnancy. Lowry has two other sons, Isaac (10) with Jo Rivera and Lincoln (6) with ex-husband Javi Marroquin.
The Coffee Convos podcast cohost revealed in February that she was 16 weeks pregnant, and apparently this pregnancy was a lot more difficult than her previous ones. “I’ve had nausea, morning sickness, and absolutely no energy. This week I’m starting to feel a bit better and I’m really hoping it stays this way," she said. Things are looking a lot better now, though, for the reality tv star. On July 30, Kailyn welcomed the latest addition to the family. Just five days later, she posted an Instagram picture of her smiling with a smoothie in hand and the caption, "Can you guess what I'm drinking?" She revealed the blended fruit drink was packed with placental protein! Kailyn also revealed that her family is "all happy and so in love," and "can check giving birth during a pandemic off my bucket list now (via Us Weekly)."
Now that everyone is at home during the pandemic, this would be the perfect opportunity for Lopez to step up as a father. Since he hasn't been of much help in the past, he could use this time to show Lowry and his two sons that he will be consistent and help with parenting.
Lowry hasn't been very successful in her previous relationships. Hopefully, Lopez and Lowry can make it work for their newest family member. Either way, the placental smoothie should help Lowry to recover quickly so she can take care of her four sons with or without Lopez's help.
