Holly Madison is the first to admit it’s pretty “gross.”

The Girls Next Door beauty, 33, says she plans to eat the placenta of her first child after she gives birth in early March.

"This might sound gross, but I'm totally planning on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth," the former Playboy model wrote on her blog on Wednesday, February 27.

Madison -- who’s expecting a girl with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella -- explained she’s doing it for practical reasons, saying: "I heard it helps women recover faster, and I want to recover as quickly as I can!"
