It’s a worry women the world over can relate to – the uncertainty that comes with first time parenthood. Blake Lively is no different. In an interview with Stylist, the actress has revealed that she felt clueless about being a mum when she left the hospital with her first child, daughter James, in January this year.

"I remember leaving the hospital thinking: ‘I have no idea what I am doing. I have a life in my hands and I’m not equipped to do this, because I don’t have the knowledge I need to take care of the most precious, fragile thing in the world,’” the 27-year-old said. "It felt like being a passenger on a plane and being told: “By the way, now you are going to be piloting the plane.” But then you take her home and you figure it out.”

“I am definitely getting sleepless nights,” she explains. “But you get a little more used to it as time goes on.”'

The Gossip Girl turned entrepreneur, who launched her lifestyle website Preserve last year, also opened up about a secret ambition: to hit the books at one of the US’s most prestigious universities. "I have a dream to go to Harvard Business School and one of these days I will do that… in my spare time!”
