Gwen said in an interview with Britain's Hello magazine: "I'm going to try and enjoy this year of touring and then hopefully get pregnant again."I'm on repeat. I just want to make music and babies!"The 37-year-old star admits she hated touring while pregnant last time because she felt fat. She said: "The new tour is 42 dates in just 70 days. It's a lot, but I feel it's going to be easier having a baby outside my stomach, rather than inside."I was surprised how much I didn't enjoy pregnancy. Having something growing in your stomach feels so unnatural."Your body's changing and you can't control it. You just feel gross."I was having to get up on stage wearing bathing suits, looking fat. Nobody knew I was pregnant except me. They were constantly having to add extra panels to my costumes!"To be honest I was feeling pretty bad about myself."

She said: "My TV time is really limited but when I was pregnant I made up for that. I loved shows about surgery and pregnancy and things on the discovery channel. It was my guilty pleasure.

GWEN STEFANI ADMITS SHE'S VAIN

Gwen Stefani strives to be skinny.The 'Wind It Up' singer admits she is vain and only works out to stay thin so she can wear designer clothes. Gwen told Elle magazine: "All my life I had to work hard to stay in shape. I've always struggled with it. I was a little chubby when I was younger, and I didn't want to be that person forever. I became a swimmer at school - but only because I wanted to be skinnier! I'm extremely vain, I like wearing cute clothes."The 37-year-old pop star - who gave birth to son Kingston last May - exercised extremely hard during and after her pregnancy to ensure she got her figure back. Gwen - who is married to British rocker Gavin Rossdale - explained: "I worked out with my trainer throughout my whole pregnancy until about two weeks before. I cried during my last session. I was like, 'I can't breathe, I can't do this anymore. What am I doing?' It was crazy."There aren't any tricks, it's simple math, you put this much food in, you burn that much working out. I gave myself three months after Kingston was born, but if I didn't have an album coming out, there's no way I would have gotten back into shape in that time. I worked out with my trainer five days a week, with weekends off."Although she succumbs to modern pressures to stay slim, Gwen think the current obsession with size 0 is unfortunate. She said: "It sucks that that's what is supposed to look good and that's what everyone strives to be. There's more to life than being on a diet."But clearly, I spend time thinking about it, and it's something I've had to deal with in my life."

GWEN STEFANI SAYS PLASTIC SURGERY IS BIZARRE AND A MODERN OBSESSION

Gwen Stefani would have plastic surgery. Although she finds the modern obsession with cosmetic surgery "bizarre", the 'Wind It Up' singer has thought about getting some work done when she gets older. Gwen, 37, told Elle magazine: "Each to their own. I enjoy a great surgery TV show as much as anyone - I watched a lot of those shows while I was pregnant!"But it's pretty bizarre that this is the stage where we're at - that you can place an order for how you're going to look. People take it pretty lightly, but it's a big deal. I've thought it over but I'm not at that stage yet."The pop star - who gave birth to son Kingston last May - has also confessed she found it incredibly tough touring and working while she was pregnant. Gwen - who is married to British rocker Gavin Rossdale - said: "It was weird being pregnant in a fishbowl situation, especially on days when you feel really fat and disgusting and not cute."Pregnancy was challenging in a way I didn't expect. I was on tour and I was so sick. It was like PMS times a million."
