Even while pregnant with daughter Sunday, many were amazed that Nicole Kidman still managed to keep her svelte figure.
Now, in a new interview with The Australian Women's Weekly, the 41-year-old actress opens up about her relatively small bump.
"I'm so lucky I'm so tall, so I carried small," the 5' 10 1/2" star says. "Also, I have to say, I had a birth that I was blessed with, a labor that was very good and a baby that was very good to me in that regard."

Kidman and husband Keith Urban welcomed Sunday, who weighed 6 lbs., 7 oz., in July.
But the actress, who had suffered a miscarriage with ex Tom Cruise, admits she wasn't expecting to get pregnant at age 41.
She says "fertility waters" may have played a role.
During production of her upcoming romance Australia, she says she and six other women who swam in the waters of a small Outback town all got pregnant.
"I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child, but it happened on this movie," Kidman says.

"Seven babies were conceived out of this film and only one was a boy," she continues. "There is something up there in the Kununurra water because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the fertility waters now."

Of newborn daughter Sunday, she says, "To be given this again is a beautiful thing. To have raised Bella and Connor since I was 25 and now to be able to do it again at 41 ... wow!"
