Pregnant Hilary Swank Has “Newfound Respect” For Women’s Bodies

At 48-years-old, Hilary Swank is going to be a mother for the first time. She revealed she was expecting twins back in October of 2022, much to everyone’s surprise.

These days, she’s in her third trimester… and still working! She did a guest spot on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Monday. During the show, she talked about how much respect she has for women’s bodies.

I feel like women are superheroes. What our bodies do? I have such, like, a whole newfound respect. I mean, I love women, I’ve always loved women, but now, I’m like, ‘Wow, we can do this!’

She also revealed how the first 16 weeks of her pregnancy were filled with morning sickness. And because she was getting sick so often, she didn’t exactly have any weird food cravings.

But she did eat a lot of fruit.

All I wanted was fruit. It’s not that exciting I know, it’s not like pickles dipped in peanut butter, but a lot of fruit . To the point that one of my costars when they found out I was pregnant, they were like, “Oh that’s why. That’s why you eat 10 pomegranates a day, 50 pears.’ I just couldn’t eat anything more than fruit. I know I needed that protein so I threw some peanut butter in with my apples.

Now that she’s in the home stretch of her pregnancy, she’s found herself getting more and more excited about meeting her babies for the first time.

But she’s trying her best to stay calm and appreciate the little moments before the birth.

Here’s to hoping she has a smooth delivery!
