Actress Gwyneth Paltrow had serious complications giving birth to her 17-year-old daughter Apple.
In the “Armchair Expert” podcast, the Oscar winner spoke about the problems.
“I had two caesarean sections,” says Paltrow. “My daughter was an emergency.
It was crazy - we almost died.
It didn't look good. "
The 49-year-old does not go into detail about the complications.
However, she speaks to the podcast hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman about the consequences of caesarean sections.
“You have a big scar across your body and you think: 'Oh, wow, that wasn't there before,'” says Paltrow: “It's not that it's bad or you want to evaluate it, but you just think : >Oh my God.<"
Criticism of Instagram
That's why she is glad that Instagram did not yet exist when she gave birth to her daughter Apple in 2004 and her son Moses in 2006.
She is now seeing women who have a washboard abs two weeks after giving birth.
"Then I think, Wow, I didn't look like that," Paltrow said.
Such photos are the absolute exception, nevertheless you are »fed with all these pictures« that show »how we should look«.
With her ex-husband, Coldplay singer Chris Martin, Paltrow has two children, Apple and Moses.
In 2018 she married the screenwriter and producer Brad Falchuk ("Glee").
In the three film adaptations of "Iron Man" Paltrow played the great love of the superhero of the same name.
In 1999 she received the Oscar for best leading actress for her appearance in "Shakespeare in Love".
