Nicole Kidman loved being pregnant — because she had large breasts for the first time in her life.

The actress — who gave birth to Sunday Rose, her first child with husband Keith Urban on 7 July 2008 — was amazed at the bust-boosting effect her baby had on her body.

The 42-year-old star said: "They're not very big, my boobs, so they just became normal size. I loved it! I felt very, 'Woman'. When you've had a slightly androgynous body your whole life, having breasts is a nice feeling."

Nicole also revealed she is more in love than ever with her husband of three years Keith. She said: "I love being in love. I believe in the power of love, the way it can heal. The more you keep choosing it — because there are times when you can choose to be angry at the person or to love him — the more it nourishes a family."

Nicole — who was previously married to Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise — used to enjoy the fictional lives of her film characters more than her own life, but says that has changed now.

Nicole — who made 20 films between 2001 and 2008 — told Ladies' Home Journal magazine: "My imaginary life was better than my flesh-and-blood life. That's a sad thing to say, but it was. Now I love my real life so much it requires an enormous belief in a film to want to take it on."
