Knocked Up Celebs

Jessica Alba is in the cover girl for the March 2009 issue of Elle magazine. Inside she talks about how her contractions were like period cramps and how she lost the baby weight. Jessica looks great these days so I will for sure be listening to her losing the baby weight tips. Here are the highlights:

On giving birth: “Contractions aren’t that bad. If you’ve ever had bad cramps? That’s what they’re like. But that moment when they put the baby on your chest – that’s deep. It’s a deep experience.”

On snapping back into shape so quickly after giving birth: “I did it for the Campari job. [The workouts] were horrible. I cried. And I haven’t worked out since.”

Her secret to looking slim after giving birth: “I wore a girdle. Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack. She told me to put an elastic band around my waist – any kind of band or girdle works. She was like, “I slept in it.” I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a six-pack – that’s just not my body at all.”

On separation anxiety: “This is the first time I’ve been away from her. It’s been six days. It sucks; it’s the worst thing ever. But we Skype, so I can see her on video. The worst is when you can see her little chubby hands grab the screen, and I’m not there. [She pauses, her eyes welling up, then laughs as she wipes the tears away.] That’s a new thing – I never cried before. Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.”

I think that my contractions were way worse than that. I didn’t have drugs but they sure weren’t something I would say felt like bad cramps. But when they do put the baby on your chest it’s something that you never forget. And when you look at their face…all the pain you just went through just disappears.
