Blac Chyna is doing things differently for baby No. 2!
The 28-year-old mom-to-be sat down with pal Amber Rose on Play.It’s Loveline with Amber Rose this week — and admitted that she feels “more educated” on motherhood the second time around.
Chatting with Rose and Dr. Chris Donaghue, Chyna said that she’s been reading up on the benefits of eating ones placenta.
“I just recently I found out some new, cool stuff about not cutting the cord and sending your placenta…” she confessed. “You can get these pills to take them after to make you and the baby healthy.”

Chyna was quick to point out that the act is incredibly natural. “If you notice dogs and cats — when they have their babies, they eat the placenta. You’re like, ‘No, don’t do that!’ But they do! It’s a healthy thing.”
“I feel like with my second baby, I’m more educated than the first one,” she added.
Of course, Chyna’s not the first celebrity to talk eating her placenta. Those who advocate placentophagy believe that consuming the placenta prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications.
Chyna isn’t worried about postpartum depression this time around — and thanks her finacé Rob Kardashian for that.
“I’m more ready than anything.” she said. “I’m relaxed. [I’ve had] no cravings, no morning sickness — thank God! I could do it again!”
The three also talked breastfeeding — addressing Shanna Moakler‘s 2013 remarks in which she said the practice was “incestual” and “gross.”
“I feel obligated, in a sense,” Chyna said. “Maybe [it’s] my motherly instinct. Just reading and knowing the pros of breastfeeding for your baby…”

Already a mom to 3-year-old son King Cairo, Chyna revealed she’s expecting a baby girl during the Sunday premiere of her reality show, Rob & Chyna.
She and Kardashian recently opened up to PEOPLE about how excited they are to be building a family together — and how their first child together may only be the beginning.
“We definitely discussed having kids,” Chyna told PEOPLE. “Rob made it very clear that he wanted to have a baby. Babies, actually! He wants me to have, like, four.”
