Jennifer Love Hewitt has returned to the Hollywood spotlight for the first time since giving birth to daughter Autumn James in November, admitting she is still wearing her 'pregnancy clothes' four months later.

She continued, "I wasn't sure where I was going to fall and what was going to happen and how I was going to feel."

Despite the struggle, the new mum revealed she's not obsessed with losing a dramatic amount of weight and getting super-skinny like some A-listers.

She revealed, "It just feels great to sort of be honest about the fact that it is tough and these clothes make it a little easier, make me feel beautiful.

While she gave birth to her first daughter back in November, Jen admits to still wearing a lot of her pregnancy clothes.

"Everything hasn't returned back to where I want it to be and put on my other clothes and feel good about that."

The star also added that she wants to set a good example for her daughter so she has the right idea about "good body issues".

"If your priorities are right, the baby's most important. You have to eat to feed to your baby. And I have a girl so I want her to see some day why her mom has good self-esteem and good body issues.

"It gets you down sometimes, I'm not going to lie. I've had days where I'm like, 'Ugh, I wish this was easier.' But it's not, and that's OK."
