If you don’t know already, Jessica Alba, 26, is pregnant with her first child with Cash Warren. In this week’s People magazine, she opens up about her pregnancy, cravings, and workouts.

On her body’s first changes: Within two weeks of finding out I was pregnant, I went from a 32B to a 34D. I was like, ‘Wow, where did these come from?’ It was instant. It was great, but it was shocking.

It’s more like something is taking over my body. You can’t believe you have something inside of you that’s growing. It’s the most incredible thing in the world, and at the same time, it’s very emotional and bizarre.

On her belly: I’m finally showing! I can’t wait to have a really big belly. It doesn’t feel weird, it feels normal. Gaining weight is natural and it’s what’s needed for the baby.

On her pregnancy workouts and eating habits: I do everything completely differently. Now I just do walking and stretching, treadmill, stationary bike, yoga, or Pilates instead of running and weights. I don’t have the stamina anymore. But exercise keeps me grounded and makes me feel both healthy and happy. And it’s supposed to make giving birth easier. Anything that makes that easier, I’m all for it!

I’m also eating every 4 hours. Before I got pregnant, I wouldn’t be hungry to eat that much. Now, if I don’t eat anything, I get tired and cranky. It’s like, there’s somebody here who needs food! My body isn’t mine anymore, and I’m okay with that.

On cravings: Lemonade. I drank a lot of coffee, so I’ve replaced it with lemonade. Everything smelled so strong. I had to cut out meat and cheese, but I really craved lemons.
