Jessica Alba: Pregnancy No. 2 Not As Daunting

For Jessica Alba, pregnancy is much easier the second time around. Easier on the body and the mind!

“Every moment was so new and kind of terrifying and now I know what to expect,” Alba tells Latina in the latest issue of the magazine. “It’s like, ‘It’s fine, I’ve been there before.’ With Honor, I was constantly like, ‘Is she moving? Is her heart beating?’ I’d worry about everything and with this baby, I don’t have the same anxieties.”

While she’s gotten rid of her insecurities, the Spy Kids 4 star reveals one thing that’s stayed the same – her craving for fruit.

Sometimes you can’t get a food out of your mind,” says Alba. “I could always eat watermelon. With Honor, I loved fruit, too. It’s a decent craving. You still eat cheeseburgers and pickles – you just want watermelon really bad. I don’t deprive myself of anything. I eat whatever.”

And to work off all of those cheeseburgers, Jessica does her best to stay active, telling the magazine, “I’d like to still do something five days a week, from a half hour to an hour – nothing excessive, just some moving [around]. It makes the whole pregnancy so much easier. The more fit you are, the easier the birth is, and a healthier baby you’re going to have.”
