Jessica Alba “Cried” Losing The Pregnancy Weight

Jessica Alba’s secret for bouncing back after her pregnancy?

“I wore a girdle,” the actress, 28, tells the March issue of Elle. “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.”

Adds Alba, “I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a six-pack – that’s just not my body at all.”

The actress also trained six days a week with grueling workouts.

“[The workouts] were horrible,” she tells the magazine. “I cried. And I haven’t worked out since.”

I never know what to think when celebs say that they don’t workout anymore. I feel like that means that they are back to eating basically nothing. Surprisingly, Jessica wasn’t bothering my childbirth.

“Contractions aren’t that bad,” she says. “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.”

“This is the first time I’ve been away from her,” Alba tells Elle. “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.”

The magazine reported that the actress began welling up at the memory.

“That’s a new thing – I never cried before,” she says. “Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.”

Oh great. I’m already an emotional person-motherhood is going to make me a hot mess!
