Gwyneth battles the bulge

London - Gwyneth Paltrow reckons she's been less stressed the second time with son Moses than she was with Apple.
A baby boy was born to Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay singer Chris Martin, in April.
It was the second child for the couple, who had a girl, Apple, in May 2004.
"The first time, you are horrified," the 33-year-old told Harper's Bazaar magazine.
"It's all lovely when you are pregnant but when you are not pregnant and you haven't been for a couple of months and you are still carrying tons of extra weight and everything's all hanging and sagging, you think, 'How is this ever going to go back?'
"But it does. If you do a lot of working out."
Both times she was pregnant, the actress said she gained 40 pounds (about 18kg) and lost 20 by the time she left hospital.
"With Apple I kept the extra 20 pounds on until she was three months old, and then it came off.
"And that's exactly what's happening now."
She confessed she's been working out, "but not dieting, because I am a milk machine".
And she refreshingly warned anyone who thinks she has a perfect figure to "see the cellulite on my thighs right now". - Ananova.com
