January Jones wants everyone to know that eating placenta is a “very civilized” thing to do after giving birth. The actress, mom to 1-year-old son Xander, spoke of her one regret about sharing too much and more during a recent interview for Glamour UK.

January Jones on being a single mom: “People keep saying, ‘Oh poor you, being a single mom,’ but I don’t want to be pitied. I can do anything I want to do. I work, I date, I have friends. I have time for everything I had time for before. I just have an added amazing thing in my life. I have a great family and friends, and I know they’d be there if I needed help, but I feel like I’m doing fine on my own.”

On sharing her placenta-eating experience: “I should never have told anyone about that. But it’s not gross or witchycrafty. Nor am I putting it in a shake or eating it raw. It’s a very civilized thing that can help women with depression or fatigue. I was never depressed or sad or down after the baby was born, so I’d highly suggest it to any pregnant woman.”

On motherhood: “Being a mom is something I always wanted to do and I love it.”
