‘NASHVILLE’ star Hayden Panettiere has revealed that pregnancy hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park.
In a new interview with Hello magazine, the actor said: “I’m 5 feet, 2 inches [157cm] and I started out at 106 pounds [48kg] and guess how much I weigh now? Around 145 pounds [66kg].
“And the worst part is that my feet are still size five and they’re going, ‘What’s going on with all this weight?’ They’re about to snap from underneath me with the strain.”

The actor — a former gymnast — told the magazine that her sporty past is also part of the reason she’s gained weight.
“I’m still quite muscular, so if you’re running around carrying 40 pounds of extra weight, you’re going to build extra muscle.”
Panettiere also revealed that she won’t be marrying fiance Wladimir Klitschko until she after she’s had the baby. “I’ll tell you one thing for sure, I am not walking down the aisle 40 pounds heavier than usual in a wedding dress with a huge pregnancy belly stitched in. Not happening.”
With only a few weeks to go before she gives birth, the star also told the magazine how excited she is to become a mother of a baby girl.

“I’m so ready to hold my baby girl — I’m going to be a very hands on mom,” she said. “I’m thrilled that I am having a girl first because I feel like I know a lot about raising a strong woman. I feel very empowered myself and I think my daughter will, too.”
She also spoke of the support she gets from professional boxer, Klitschko.
“He’s such a resilient guy. He’s so calm and patient. I have never even heard this man raise a voice.”
