Isinilang ito ng aktres at natural parenting advocate noong Lunes, June 25, via Full Lotus Birth kung saan hindi pinutol ang umbilical cord ng kanyang new-born baby. Isinasagawa ito para nakakabit pa rin ang placenta ng sanggol hanggang sa kusang humiwalay ang cord sa umbilicus na karaniwan ay umaabot ng 3-10 araw.

Ibinunyag din ni Jennica na umiinom siya ng fruit smoothie na may halong placenta ng kanyang baby girl. Ayon sa AmericanPregnancy.org, maraming health benefits ang pag-inom o pagkain ng placenta gaya ng pagbaba ng risk ng post-partum depression at pagtaas ng level ng breastmilk production. 

"I am so excited to share the Birth Story of our second child with you, but for now, I hope this will do.... Meet our little angel and her sister, placenta. They are on their third day together now.  #FullLotusBirth 

In the next photo, thanks to @irina_doula, you will see a lovingly prepared fruit smoothie. Blended with it, is a small piece of my daughter's own placenta. To my surprise, my husband, drank two sips from my smoothie before handing it over to me!  Kaya siguro mahal na mahal [ako] ang asawa ko. Alam kong naiintindihan at suportado niya ako, gaano man ka-iba ang nais kong tahakin na landas. While most would probably take the smoothie in one go, being worried that there might actually be a foul taste or smell from the placenta, I took a sweet time drinking mine and enjoyed every moment of it. We even kept a few more pieces in the freezer to be able to make more for later. Cheers! ? #PlacentaSmoothie," kuwento niya.

Isinilang ni Jennica ang kanilang panganay ni Alywn na si Athena Mori noong 2015.
