Angelina Jolie: 'Childbirth is fascinating'

Angelina Jolie has revealed that she finds childbirth "fascinating".

The actress, who is expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt in August, said she was in awe of the process when she gave birth to daughter Shiloh, two.

She told Vanity Fair: "I had a C-section and I found it fascinating. I didn't find it a sacrifice and I didn't find it a painful experience.

"I found it a fascinating miracle of what a body can do."

Jolie, who is said to be planning a natural birth, has reportedly been told that she will not carry the twins to full term.
