Pregnant Monica Bellucci bares all on Vanity Fair cover
April 9, 2010
45-year-old pregnant actress Monica Bellucci shows off her bare baby bump on the cover on Italy’s Vanity Fair.
Bellucci is no stranger to showing off her pregnancy curves. She also posed nude when she was pregnant with her first daughter, now 5-year-old Deva.
Six months pregnant with her child, the mom-to-be looks stunning, but admits that being pregnant later in life can be challenging.
“Women who have children late like me are always told how brave they are and it’s true that the older you are the more risks you run both for the child and yourself. But I don’t feel brave I just feel very lucky. I already have a healthy daughter who I gave birth to in Umbria like an ordinary farm wife. This second pregnancy is just as fantastic but I wouldn’t say I was an example to follow.”
Bellucci said she felt pressured to have another baby right away after the birth of her first (she was 39 at the time), but says that “babies are not like movies and cannot be organized in a hurry.” She admits she is “lucky” to be expecting another child.
“My paternal grandmother had a child at 47 years old but I think I’m just lucky. I know women who would cross the desert on their knees to have a child. Maybe if that had happened to me and I had difficulty then I would have become one of them.”

Alison Sweeney on her pregnancy life saver
August 31, 2008
The Biggest Loser host and Days of our Lives actress Alison Sweeney recently spoke to The Cradle about her second pregnancy. Already mom to Ben, 3 1/2, she is expecting a daughter this winter.
On having another baby:
Even though Ben is only 3½ , it seems like forever since I’ve dealt with a newborn! I’m re-reading all the pregnancy books and new parent books to refresh my memory. I am looking forward to seeing Ben’s reaction to the new baby; I think that will make this whole experience completely new and different for us.
On maintaining a healthy weight during pregnancy:
It is always difficult when you’re pregnant to deal with body image. There are some (very lucky) women who don’t seem pregnant at all except for their “bump.” I am not like that! I have been maintaining my workouts and trying to not give in to the cravings – not just for my figure, but for the health of the baby. But there are times when you have to relax and enjoy this different experience, keeping in mind that it’s not permanent!
Favorite pregnancy products:
“A Pea in the Pod is a life saver. They have great lines of clothes that are perfect for any pregnant woman. I love them. There’s a full body pillow that I absolutely NEED. Can’t sleep without it now.”

Alison Sweeney on pregnancy weight gain
August 28, 2008
The Biggest Loser host Alison Sweeney said that although her show is about losing weight, she is feeling good about gaining weight. “It’s really the only time in your life that you’re supposed to gain weight. They say that you’re eating for two, but you have to remember that one of the two is only five ounces. It’s not the same,” she tells People.com.
Sweeney, 31, is expecting her second child, a daughter, this winter.
The actress says she had some food aversions early in her pregnancy (“Grilled chicken or tomatoes would be the worst. I would tell my husband to get it away from me!”) but is now filling up on healthy fruits and cereal.
“All I wanted was Cheerios — it was all I could eat for two months,” she says. “I definitely have a sweet tooth with this pregnancy that I didn’t have with my son. With my son, I craved savory things. My doctor said to buy fruit at the farmer’s market. I bought a cantaloupe, and I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing. I cut it up and put it in this big bowl and then next thing I knew, half of it was gone.”
I remember craving fruit when I was pregnant. It gave me the sweet taste I was craving, without being too heavy.
