Ashley Jensen talks about giving birth

'Ugly Betty' star Ashley Jensen has spoken about giving birth for the first time.

According to The Independent, she said: "I'm stumbling from day to day at the moment."

"Just getting to grips with feeding and not sleeping. It's all about routine, and it's very all-consuming... You can't be away from him for too long."

"One thing it has given me is a real respect for womankind."

"Giving birth is amazing, and such a great leveller. It doesn't matter who you are - whether you're Mrs Beverly Hills with your botox, or someone living in a caravan in Idaho. You both go through that."

Jensen gave birth to her first child, a baby boy, last month.
