In the aftermath of her son’s birth, the actress said she was surrounded by an “oxytocin love bubble” with her husband.
“You are completely smothered in this feeling of I have never felt higher, I have never felt this love. It was like the world stopped again,” she said.
“I’m so glad I had pictures of [my placenta],” Mandy continued. “It was so beautiful.” She also revealed she plans on “eating it”, most likely through capsule form. “I can’t wait to do it again,” Mandy concluded.
