Candice Swanepoel believes natural birth is “totally doable”

When asked if her natural pregnancy was painful, the blonde beauty said: “I don’t wanna put anyone off of having kids. I think society has made women afraid of giving [birth naturally], but it’s totally doable if you prepare yourself in the right way.”

And the Victoria’s Secret model was “surprised” at how quickly she managed to regain her pre-baby body, despite thinking it would “never go back”.

She said: “I was actually surprised how quickly the body can go back. We’re amazing creatures. Definitely [at] the three- [or] four-month mark, I was like, ‘Oh, is it ever going back?’ I just think [of] taking care of the baby. Breastfeeding also helps.”

Candice loves “everything” about being a mother, and has hinted she may already be thinking about adding another member to her family.

She said when asked to name her favourite thing about being a mother: “Everything. He’s been so sweet and been so good. Everybody is like, ‘You’re so blessed with a good baby.’ I feel like the next one will be a terror just to remind me.”

But Candice doesn’t think Anaca will follow in her footsteps and become a model when he’s older, as the star sees it as “more of a feminine industry”.

Asked by People magazine if her son will become a model, Candice said: “I feel like you could do better as a female model. If I had a daughter and felt that she could do really well it would be fine. I don’t think I would want her to get into it unless I knew she would do really well. Because it’s amazing, but it’s not super easy.”
