"People tell you and you do what can to be ready to take care of yourself and the baby, but then when it happens, it's just like nothing you've ever felt before," continued Lakshmi. "You realize you can't really know what it's going to be like until it happens."
How has her life changed?
"Well, it's busy! It's a lot of work being a mom — but it's just incredible," she says. "It does change you. It's hard to put into words, but life is just different. You have to adjust."
