Yes but that is just so the afterbirth does not attract predators to their weak and still vulnerable newborn.
That is a beneficial side effect, but the main reason is they are hungry for high protein food. I have seen some that didn't stop with afterbirth and went for ears and tails of their newborn babies. I'm sure their are many "vegans" that step off of the path just after giving birth, as well. ( If they didn't in fact eat meat during most of their pregnancy.)
