Jessica Alba 'planning three or four kids'

Jessica Alba has admitted that she is planning to have at least three or four children.

Speaking to Extra, the Fantastic Four star revealed that she was ready to extend her family after giving birth to her first daughter with film producer husband Cash Warren last year.

"We'll have a few [kids]...three or four," she said, adding that being a mother was exhausting.

"Even if she's sleeping...I still check if she's breathing. She's fine. She's just sleeping, but you still go in and make sure she's fine. Tuck her in three times."

Alba added that losing her baby weight "wasn't fun", explaining: "It didn't all come off at once. In fact, I shockingly gained weight right after I had the baby, so I worked out twice a day...I ate really healthy.

"Now I don't really have time to work out so much anymore - I'm running after my daughter and holding her. She's heavy, so that really helps with the old arm tone!"
