The 27-year-old actress - who welcomed daughter Honor Marie into the world on June 7 - insists she exuded quiet strength during the natural labor and the whole experience was incredibly peaceful.
She said: "I didn't scream. It was really Zen. The labor was more like meditation. I did yoga breathing. I was focused. I ate a lot of soul food before she was born."

Jessica¡¯s husband Cash Warren added: "She didn't make a sound. It was amazing."
The "Love Guru" actress also revealed she has already embarked on an exercise and healthy eating regime to shed her post pregnancy weight.
She told America¡¯s OK! magazine: "I started working out last Thursday, but for 20 minutes. I do cardio on my own. I'm doing it slow. Now I'm starting to eat more healthy. Because after working out, having fried chicken and mashed potatoes is a little counteractive."
Cash is convinced Honor looks just like him, but he is worried his daughter will later develop Jessica¡¯s stunning features and he will have to deter numerous male suitors.
He said: "She looks like a girl version of me. She has my nose, my eyebrows and my forehead and dimples.¡±
Jessica added: "She has my mouth when I was a baby. And my ears."
Cash said: "Maybe Honor is a mixture. I want her to look like me, because a daughter looking like Jessica, I'd kill myself!"

BEIJING, July 17 -- One reason Jessica Alba named her baby daughter Honor was that she felt her own was pretty bland. "I was always irritated that my name was Jessica," the 27-year-old actress tells OK! magazine.
"Come on, it's a very '80s name, because there were tons of Jessicas in every school I went to. There's something great about having a unique name. It's a part of your identity." Full story
