I suffered from post-natal depression after Rowan was born. I had a healthy beautiful baby girl and I couldn't look at her. I couldn't hold her smile at her. All I wanted was to disappear and die.

I'd like to be played as a child by Natalie Wood. I'd have some romantic scenes as Audrey Hepburn and have gritty black-and-white scenes as Patricia Neal.

Abortion politics have distracted all sides from what is really essential: a major aid campaign to improve midwifery prenatal care and emergency obstetric services in poor countries.

Taking pre-natal vitamins can minimise birth defects and can lower the chances both of morning sickness and premature delivery.

I took prenatal yoga three times a week including the morning I went into labor. It helped me stay comfortable.

I deal with postpartum feelings by reaching out to mom friends. I became very close with some of the women in my prenatal yoga class.

I'm kind of lucky that we've finished shooting 'Cougar Town ' so I'm able to kind of just enjoy my pregnancy and be a stay-at-home mom and go to prenatal Pilates and do all that fun stuff that if I were working would be almost impossible to do.

I hate the stereotype of the pitfalls of the child actor. There are so many amazing examples - Natalie Portman Joseph Gordon-Levitt Jodie Foster Drew Barrymore - of people who have made it through.
