Marry Me star Casey Wilson covers the April/May issue of Fit Pregnancy and opens up about her first pregnancy, her first experience of the ‘mommy wars,’ and her exercise routine.

On her pregnancy: “I’m feeling so much better than I was. I had a very rocky first and early-second trimester—I felt tired and sick and in a fog, like an extreme hangover, until about week 16. I thought, surely, this is the worst part of parenting. Then I remembered when I was 15 and my mom said I couldn’t go out, I pulled two giant brass wall sconces out of the wall with my bare hands. There are rougher waters ahead, I fear.”

On her first experience of the ‘mommy wars‘: “When I first got pregnant, I joined a couple of those mom chat rooms, and it was seriously like a Saturday Night Live sketch. I was laughing so hard! Of course, I was appreciative that women share information, but there would be fights over, like, what kind of lotion one woman is using on her stomach. A friend and I would read these exchanges to each other. She’d be like, ‘BabyMama5 is really upset with PregnantLeslie,’ and I’d go, ‘Oh lord, not those two again!’ Now I mainly reach out to my girlfriends, since many them have had babies.”

On her prenatal exercise routine: “Before I got pregnant, I exercised six or seven days a week. I’d do a ton of hot power yoga and I’d train at this place called Rise Nation in LA—it’s really intensive training, basically for actors. It’s where Bradley Cooper went to get in shape for American Sniper! But when I got pregnant, my doctor recommended I stop the hot yoga. And even driving to the training, I was tired. If I’m tired driving to my training session, how am I going to actually train?! I’ve trained here and there, and I have a mini home gym that’s the saddest little gym you’ve ever seen [laughs]. But I also started prenatal yoga.”
