Bec Judd's best friend makes grim placenta confession
Jess Roberts has made a squeamish confession on the podcast she hosts with best friend Bec Judd. The co-host of Vain-ish on Wednesday admitted to frying and eating her sister-in-law's placenta. The TV presenter and influencer said she ate it after having her own placenta dried and put into capsules. It was actually my sister-in-law's. And even though I've had the dried, you know, the capsules. My sister-in-law gave birth to my little nephew. She wanted to cook it and have it in a different kind of form,' she told Judd. 'Anyway, they chopped it up. They put it in the wok. They put herbs and spices in it. Heaps and spices…garlic, everything!' According to Mayo Clinic, some people believe that eating a mother's placenta can prevent post-partum depression; ease bleeding after delivery; promote a healthy hormone balance in the body; improve mood, energy and milk supply; and provide important nutrients, such as iron. However, there's no evidence that eating the placenta has health benefits and can, in fact, be harmful. The Australian Therapeutic Goods Association actually advises expectant mothers to be aware of the potential risks associated with placenta consumption. The TGA warned that eating another person's placenta may increase those risks. 'Human placenta is a biological material and is capable of containing and transmitting infectious agents, including bacteria and viruses,' the TGA website stated. 'In addition, preparation may inadvertently introduce infectious agents. 'The risk of transmission may be even greater if your placenta is ingested by another person or you ingest another person's placenta.' Last week, Judd made headlines after revealing her incredible near-death story on live radio. Judd revealed the scary moment her parachute failed to open while skydiving on a date with her husband Chris Judd in Perth. She said she free-fell 'almost all the way to the ground' before an emergency parachute could be activated. 'We secretly went and did a skydive together in Perth when he was playing for West Coast and my parachute didn't open,' she told SAFM Breakfast with Bernie and Emma G.

Mother-of-four Bec Judd makes a shocking confession about her twin boys
Bec Judd has made a shocking confession about her twin boys. The AFL WAG shares four children – Oscar, 13, Billie, 10, and twins Darcy and Tom, eight – with her husband Chris Judd. Speaking to her Vain-ish podcast co-host Jessie Roberts, Bec's admission came as she recalled the moment she discovered she was expecting twins eight years ago. 'I don't know about you, but if the husband comes or the partner comes to the first scan, then you see the heartbeat. And then after that I always just go to the scans by myself,' Bec said. 'So I'm in there with Chris, and he [the doctor] scans me and he has a good old look around and he goes, "nah, it's only one baby." I'm like: "phew, because this one feels different."' Bec added she received quite a shock when she went in for a subsequent scan without Chris by her side. 'I went back for a routine scan without my husband four weeks later and I'm looking at the screen as he's doing the scan and there's this, like, blob up in the corner,' she explained. 'I said, "what's that blob up there, Len" and as he zoomed in the blob miraculously turned into a baby and it moved and it waved like: "Hi b***h."' 'I'm going to make your life a living hell,' Jessie said and Bec agreed. 'And it's been a living hell ever since,' she added, quickly qualifying her shock statement with, 'No, just kidding. I'm kidding.' It comes after Bec made another eyebrow-raising motherhood confession last month. Speaking again on her Vain-ish podcast, Bec's revelation is likely to leave her youngest, Darcy and Tom, scratching their heads. 'I just think four kids is a lot. Anything over two, I think, is too many,' she said. Jess, who has three children, agreed, adding: 'You know what? It's a lot of chaos. And just to spread yourself between the four of them. I don't know how you do it. I struggle with three.' Speaking to her Vain-ish podcast co-host Jessie Roberts, Bec's admission came as she recalled the moment she discovered she was expecting twins eight years ago Bec then gave an insight into her hectic lifestyle, admitting that it is a big challenge wrangling four children. 'It's like, we will be in the car and I'll be screaming at one of them, I'm threatening one to walk home. 'One's always injured or has some medical issue, or the school's calling about something,' she said. 'There's always something popping off.' It seems that the in-car yelling has rubbed off on her kids, with Bec admitting her children agree with her assessment. 'The kids in the car, when I'm screaming at them, just say: "Mum, when we grow up, we don't think we're going to have four kids – it's too many,"' she laughed. 'I would not trade any of my kids in, but man, I would not recommend four!' Bec has never been one to shy away from sharing the minutiae of motherhood with her 725,000 Instagram followers - both good and bad. Back in January, Bec took to her Instagram Stories to call out her two youngest children for causing havoc in the family's $7.3 million mansion in the Melbourne seaside suburb of Brighton. 'The last day of this bulls***,' Bec captioned a photo of Tom and Darcy's shared bedroom in a state of squalor. It came just a week after Bec said she was 'sick' of her twins still behaving like toddlers. 'I popped my head in to see what we're dealing with today,' Bec said in the video, which showed dirty and clean clothes, books, and toys strewn all over the twins' bedroom. All of the drawers in a large clothing chest had been pulled out, with clothes half pulled out of them and also thrown across the floor. 'How did we create these humans?' she asked her husband in the video's caption, tagging him. 'I'm packing up some s*** and found this,' Bec explained, as she zoomed in on a pile of glittery goop, which contained her sewing scissors and a stapler. 'What the f***, boys,' she vented about the slime. 'I say to them every day, "You are eight and a half, you are not toddlers anymore."'
