Jessica Alba shows off her post-baby body on the March 2009 cover of Elle magazine.  

Here’s a taste of what you’ll find inside:

On giving birth: “Contractions aren’t that bad. 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.”

On losing weight after baby: “I’m not completely back to where I was. It’s not the same, but it’s not that serious. I’d rather spend an evening with my baby and give her a bath and read her stories and watch her roll around than go work out in a gym.”

On growing up in the movie business: “We moved around a lot. At schools, I never really fit in. I was always hanging out with, like, the school nurse or my teachers—if that. On my first set, I was like, “Oh, I belong somewhere.” Movies, on every level, are like a circus of misfits. It’s a very bizarre life; it’s intense, and everyone has to be good at what they do or you won’t survive—you’ll just get crushed.”

However, she did mention that she will consider it only after she will no longer be able to give birth.

Jessica added that her husband Cash Warren share the same family values and that she is confident about their future together.

“He wants the same things in life,” she said. “He wants to adopt and have a big family and believes in marriage forever. It can really happen if we want it to.”

When she is not shopping, Jessica Alba is practicing being a ‘laid-back’ mother these days.

Wondering why? Well Jessica believes that kid’s personalities are a reflection of those of their parents and, therefore, she is working on her own personality so when time comes it will be reflected onto baby Honor Marie.

In a recent interview with Britain’s Sunday Express, Jessica said: “Kids’ personalities have so much to do with the parents and their mentality. If you’re very paranoid and uptight and won’t let your child cross the street, they are going to take on that anxiety. If you’re a little more laid-back and make your kids responsible for their actions, you’ll probably have an easier time with them. I guess I’ll find out.”

Jessica Alba plans on being a mother to her child rather than a friend and hopes that her kids will still come up to her with problems.

In a recent interview to FitPregnancy Jessica Alba said “I don’t want to be my child’s best friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it’s going to be about treading that line.”

Jessica was also asked about going through pregnancy and said that the pregnancy had mellowed her out.

“At the end of the day I am so tired I can’t function or speak and my eyes glaze over, but this pregnancy has seriously mellowed me out, which is nice. I’ve been going, going, going for so long, it feels nice not to take things so seriously.”
