Normal birth to me should not be numb from the waist down and waiting for the doctor to tell you to push. There's a reason we feel it. There's a reason we need to feel it.

During labor the most important thing is to get primal and surrender to the process.

It's inspiring, I think, for women out there to see I'm a regular person. I am the every woman who's struggled with my weight.

I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.

I never set out to be a role model for large women, I just do what I feel is right.

I hate the feeling of falling - I'll never jump from a plane - but I love a good roller coaster. Go figure!

I do not want to die being known for doing baby mama DNA tests on my show.
