Most mothers will agree that the pain of child birth is not an easy experience on the body.

But in her first interview since becoming a mother, Sienna Miller has revealed that giving birth is something that she would do 'a million times' more.

The 30-year-old actress made the admission as she posed up for a stunning new shoot in Harper's Bazaar magazine.

Loved childbirth: Sienna Miller has admitted that she enjoyed giving birth to first daughter Marlowe four months ago

She said: 'It’s the best, the greatest thing in the world... I would do that day a million times again. I would do that day, every day. I loved it.

'My body’s a completely different thing to me, it’s not mine - all the attachment to its flaws or any aesthetic attachment is gone.

'You understand what breasts are for; and I have such enormous respect for my body because of what it can do.'

Sienna, who is engaged to Marlowe's father Tom Sturridge, also admitted to the magazine that while she is planning to hire a nanny for her four-month-old daughter, she wants to wait a while so she can learn about parenting herself.

She said: 'It’s just been the three of us, which was amazing, and exhausting. We are going to get a nanny, but it felt important to first learn for myself who I was as a parent.'

And opening up about motherhood, Sienna said: 'It’s still the most surreal thing, that you can create, that I grew this life inside my stomach, her eyeballs, everything - every little fibre.

'And I’d expected that she’d be this extension of me and I’d instantly understand who she was because she’d come from me, and then you realise that they are their own people entirely. Very connected to you, of course. But they’re their own person.'

The actress is set to star as Tippi Hedren in new BBC drama The Girl in late December.

The full interview with Sienna appears in the January issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK on sale Monday 3rd December. Also available as a digital edition.
