I was so used to seeing so many women in the media flaunting their bodies 4 weeks after having a baby - and kudos to those who have genes that they can get right back into shape 2 weeks, 4 weeks after having a baby. But that never happened to me, and I remember going to my doctor asking why.

I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I'd freak out. But it was really gradual.

I truly loved being pregnant and feeling what was going on inside my body and watching it change. It's difficult to recoup, but still amazing nonetheless. I would have another one.

I like my body so much more now since having my baby.

It's a huge change for your body. You don't even want to look in the mirror after you've had a baby, because your stomach is just hanging there like a Shar-Pei.

Pregnancy changed my body; it changed the way I walk.

My back was just destroyed after pregnancy. I almost had to have surgery, until I did Pilates and rebuilt my body.

I really do feel like I'm in better shape and look better now - even after having three kids - than I did before.

The doctors say it dates back to a film where I had these huge prosthetic breasts because my character was breast-feeding. The weight of them, and of the baby, did my back in.

I always think, look at how people were before they were pregnant. If you were a toned, healthy, energetic person, most likely you will be like that again.
