Nicole Richie says pregnancy was "easy". Yeah sure it is when you do not give birth naturally and yes I should know because I have two lovely children and gave birth naturally.

Nicole said: "I didn't have morning sickness and I was waiting for it because everyone said the first trimester is so hard. I had a really easy pregnancy. I was tired a lot but that was the only thing. I felt great physically, but Joel says my hormones were really bad!"

Joel insists Nicole is a natural mother because she can adapt to any situation, but admits she was difficult to live with when she was pregnant.

The Good Charlotte star told Britain's OK! magazine: "Nicole is really laid back. You can tell her anything, nothing shocks her. That was the first time I had seen her worked up. I'd be like, 'Woah, this is not the girl I know.' Like if I was late, it is usually no big deal, but it was like, 'Where were you? You know that I have been waiting here, and you couldn't even call?' It was cute."

Nicole also revealed giving birth was a "mellow" experience for her.

She said: "The birth was mellow. I don't know what time I went into labour, but I pushed for 10 minutes. Three pushes and she was out."
