Ali Larter: Pregnancy Is Great, Cravings Are Wonderful

A very short while ago, Ali Larter was spotted by the paps in a body-hugging top that clung to a rather protruding belly. The actress confirmed she was pregnant shortly after, saying that she did not feel the need to make an announcement about such a personal matter. Now, Ali is opening up to People magazine about how it feels to be expecting her first child and which are the things she enjoys the most about being pregnant, aside from the obvious one, of course.

Larter is thrilled about being pregnant, especially since that means that she will be one step closer to seeing her dream come true: that of having a house filled with children running around, with her being the doting mom. Until the baby is born, though, the star plans on enjoying every second of her pregnancy, especially since, for the first time since she can remember she’s allowed to eat whatever she wants without feeling guilty in the least.

“For Ali Larter, being pregnant comes with a bonus: The ability to devour whatever she desires, guilt-free. ‘Stop eating? I eat everything!’ Larter, 34, said Saturday while promoting her new film Resident Evil: Afterlife during Comic-Con in San Diego. ‘I bake myself strawberry shortcakes and then I wake up at three in the morning and I eat them.’ And don’t tell the actress to worry about Hollywood’s pressure to stay thin,” People writes. Also then, the actress explained how much trouble it is for her to look good – and she no longer has to worry about that anymore, at least for a while.

“I love it because so much of the time, I have to be careful. I work out. I play certain roles where it’s important for me to look a certain way. But now it’s just freedom. It’s like, bring on the Sprinkles cupcakes, pizza, pasta. I’m loving it!” she says. “It was a very private time for me and my husband and something that I just wasn’t ready to share, so we actually left the country for a while. This was something that I wasn’t ready to share yet. So we came back from Europe, and I said to my husband, ‘I just want to go to lunch with my girlfriends. I just want to live my life.’ I was four months [pregnant] and it was just time to start living my life,” Ali adds, explaining why she didn’t go public with her pregnancy until paps got her picture.

One thing that she doesn’t plan on changing while pregnant is to stop wearing high heels. Just like Christina Applegate (as we informed you earlier today), Ali Larter too is decided to wear heels throughout her pregnancy – and look stunning doing so.
