" On giving birth: &amp;quot;Contractions aren&amp;#039;t that bad. If you&amp;#039;ve ever had bad cramps? That&amp;#039;s what they&amp;#039;re like. But that moment when they put the baby on your chest \u2013 that&amp;#039;s deep. It&amp;#039;s a deep experience.&amp;quot;  On snapping back into shape so quickly after giving birth: &amp;quot;I did it for the Campari job. [The workouts] were horrible. I cried. And I haven&amp;#039;t worked out since.&amp;quot;  Her secret to looking slim after giving birth: &amp;quot;I wore a girdle. 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 \u2013 any kind of band or girdle works. She was like, &amp;quot;I slept in it.&amp;quot; I didn&amp;#039;t recover as fast as she did. I don&amp;#039;t have a six-pack \u2013 that&amp;#039;s just not my body at all.&amp;quot;  On separation anxiety: &amp;quot;This is the first time I&amp;#039;ve been away from her. It&amp;#039;s been six days. It sucks; it&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;m not there. [She pauses, her eyes welling up, then laughs as she wipes the tears away.] That&amp;#039;s a new thing \u2013 I never cried before. Just being a mother is making me a big, weepy mess.&amp;quot; On fashion: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve always loved beautiful clothes, but I&amp;#039;m not very hip to the coolest, newest, most fashionable thing. I&amp;#039;ve always liked mixing casual things with nice, beautiful pieces \u2013 mixing masculine and feminine. I just didn&amp;#039;t always know how to do it. As a kid, I bought random, thrift store stuff and hoped that it worked. Sometimes it didn&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot;  On her husband having a say in what she wears: &amp;quot;Whether I&amp;#039;m dressed as a boy or wearing a gown, he&amp;#039;s pretty cool about it all. He doesn&amp;#039;t want to change me. He&amp;#039;s always like, &amp;quot;Okay, whatever makes you happy.&amp;quot;  CHECK OUT THE MARCH ISSUE OF ELLE FOR THE FULL STORY ON JESSICA ALBA "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
