Being pregnant was a lot like being a child again. There was always someone telling you what to do.

I thought that I was going to be like this earth mother. When people would complain about being pregnant, I was like, 'What are you talking about? It's incredible! Just enjoy it.'

I watched Ricki Lake's documentary, 'The Business of Being Born,' and that led me to call a midwife, and not an ob-gyn, when I found out I had conceived. My delivery was not easy - they call it 'labor,' not 'a vacation!' - but I was incredibly grateful that I did it that way.

Prior to having babies, I thought - I thought I was so busy, and now I realize just how ignorant I was.

Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.

A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that's the worst thing.

I've had a baby. I've had an abortion.

Having a baby takes so much from you. It's the most glorious thing you'll ever do, but the aftermath is not so glorious!

Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life, as well as the hardest thing in your life.

Truly, I am a woman of the last minute. When I was pregnant, I organised three different hospitals because I couldn't decide where I wanted to have my baby: London, Rome or Paris. In the end, I decided to go to Rome, arrived on the Monday and gave birth on the Saturday.
