Amy Schumer is "shocked" by how much she loves her son

She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "Oh god, it's the best. I'm so lucky...

"I didn't know I could love someone that much no offense to my husband.

"But yeah, I think were both shocked by the level of love that's possible."

Amy admitted becoming a parent has changed her "in a million ways", not least because it's given her a newfound appreciation for her own mother.

She laughed: "I'm just nicer to my mom [now]."

The 'I Feel Pretty' star recently admitted she thought being back at work would help her be a "better mom", even though it wasn't easy to be away from her son.

The 38-year-old star previously wrote on Instagram: "5 months today and like all moms I love him so much it hurts. Im feeling strong and good and like I'm still a human being with interests and ambitions and goals I'm excited to reach. It's felt good to be back at work. I was so worried about it and was afraid to go back after he was 3 months old.

"A couple days I've cried from missing him. But it's mostly good to be back and the breaks energise me to be a better mom and appreciate our time even more. I have it a lot easier than many people but I wanted to share my experience. what was your going back to work experience? (sic)"

Amy had a difficult pregnancy and suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum - extreme morning sickness - but admitted it was all "worth it" in the end.

She said: "It's all terrifying. Giving birth is the most terrifying thing you'll ever do that's completely worth it.

"Having a c-section was ... my pregnancy was so hard, I was just very ready to meet my son."
