Apparently, the alluring Jessica Alba doesn't give a flip about the public's perception of her second pregnancy.
Alba and her husband, Cash Warren, are expecting the birth of a sibling for their two-year-daughter, Honor. And the screen siren has spoken openly about how her current pregnancy makes her crave "cheeseburgers, watermelon and pickles".
At some points, she's appeared irked by stalking paparazzi who've followed every phase of her gestation. At others, she's basked in the red carpet attention.
And she's had no qualms about appearing on resort beaches wearing bikinis that put her baby bump on full display.
Most recently, Alba revealed to Us Weekly that she's newly committed to the "hypnobirthing" technique; otherwise known as the Mongan Method.
According to HypnoBirthing.com, the technique dates back centuries and eases the anxiety, pain and fear associated with childbirth.
"What (birth mothers) experience is similar to the daydreaming, or focusing, that occurs when you are engrossed in a book or a movie or staring into a fire," the web site insists.
As Alba enthused to Us Weekly: "It just makes you chill."
"I was freaked out going into my first time going into labor," Alba added. "Like what if I panick? What if I just freak out and I don't know what to do?"
Alba's birth-process revelation was quickly followed in the tabloids by news that former Spice Girl-turned-fashion icon, Victoria Beckham, has already scheduled an Independence Day C-Section procedure in Los Angeles for the birth of her fourth child with soccer star, David Beckham.
This raises a question for expectant mothers worldwide: Is it better to go under the knife, under hypnosis or go au naturale when it comes to giving birth?
