British model Laura Bailey talks about motherhood

My future is here [patting her bump] and with my boyfriend and Luc. It’s odd, though. I can’t remember anything about babies at all. It’s as if Luc was never a baby, so it’s all going to feel very new to me.

On the good sides of being pregnant:

I’ve been to a casting. I get curves when I’m pregnant. I’m usually flat-chested, but now I’ve got boobs, so I’m finally the right shape for Vivienne Westwood. I feel huge, though.

On not wearing Mama-la-mode herself:

Actually, I don’t wear maternity clothes. I just wear my usual clothes in larger sizes. I do think Mama-la-mode is great, though. The clothes are comfortable and very stylish, and all you need to do is go online. It’s so easy.

On not working while pregnant:

Modeling is an unpredictable profession. Sometimes I am at home with Luc a lot; other times I’m off traveling on a shoot. But I love working. I think it makes me a better mother and a nicer person. Modeling maternity wear is a happy challenge. I work a minimum amount while I am pregnant. I try to stay fit and healthy. I want to savor this pregnancy as it is probably my last. It’s my boyfriend’s fifth child.

On losing baby weight quickly:

I burn off so much energy running around after him [Luc]. I’m sure it will be the same this time. That’s how it is with children, isn’t it?

On how Luc’s birth organized her life:

I used to be very shoddy. I was always late. I let people down. I was messy and all over the place, and now I just can’t be. I’m on time and ready to work, and then I want to go home to Luc. I am no longer that cool, fashionably late person.
