Jenna Elfman in Plum Magazine — photos and interview highlights
Actress Jenna Elfman, 35, expects her "low hanging" baby boy in July, but before he makes his arrival, she posed for Plum, the pregnancy magazine for women 35+. We previously posted bits from the interview and two photos — here’s all the highlights, including Jenna’s favorite baby gear!
Joint baby awakening: Bodhi and I just went, ‘What the hell are we waiting for?’ My mom was 36 when she had me. I thought I’d have kids before I turned 30. Then 30, 31, 32 came. It just went fast.
Pregnancy’s effect on her career: I always felt my body changing would create a huge barrier to my career. But I started looking around at the actresses I admire — Cate Blanchett, Julia Roberts, Rachel Griffiths — and all the ones I admire have children. Actually, the most successful actresses all have children.
Getting pregnant: We started trying to get pregnant last October. I took a pregnancy test and set it down on top of a magazine. Before I could even read the headlines, [the test] was positive.
Bodhi and I went for a walk and made an agreement. I said I wouldn’t become a fat cow if Bodhi wouldn’t get man jowls. [laughs] He’s doing awesome actually. He’s thinner now than he was before. He’s running and swimming. I swim with him, just a little slower.
