The 35-year-old movie beauty said she doesn't feel any pressure to shed the pregnancy pounds as quick as possible after giving birth to the baby, reported Ace Showbiz.
"Haven't we all seen those pictures of a sexy new mom in a bikini after one month? I will not be that person. I've always gone my own course and never been someone who had the need to be super skinny. I like a healthy look," Deschanel said.
Deschanel announced in January that she and boyfriend Jacob Pechenik were expecting their first child together. She is due to give birth in summer. Shortly after news of her pregnancy emerged, the couple was reported to get engaged.
