Thanks for Progesterone! Coco Austin Explains Her Small Baby Bump: People Have Been ‘Picking Me Apart’
Nicole “Coco” Austin is ready for motherhood.
“I can’t say how much I loved being pregnant, and I’m still pregnant,” Austin tells PEOPLE.
“I joke that, I never thought I would feel this way because me being into fitness my whole life, I didn’t know how my body was going to react. I was feeling like, ‘Oh man, how am I going to like blowing up like a whale and not liking my body?’ ”
But Austin — who is set to welcome her first child, daughter Chanel Nicole, with husband Ice-T in the next few weeks — says, “it’s just so opposite.”
“When you become pregnant you totally honor the fact that you’re pregnant and you love the bump, and you love the feeling of something growing inside of you. You could care less about your body,” she explains. “I say to this day, I could be pregnant for the rest of my life. Believe it or not.”
And the model and TV host, 36, shares she’s had a pretty smooth pregnancy.
“I haven’t gone through anything major. I didn’t get morning sickness and no nauseated feeling,” she says.
As for cravings, Austin has “craved the healthy stuff” like fruit, especially watermelon.
“It wasn’t until recently where I’ve started getting more of a sweet tooth,” she admits. “Which is odd for me because I don’t really like sweets all that much.”
She adds, “I might have a bite or two of ice cream every now and then, but I’m really not into sweets. Now, every single night I want something sweet in my mouth.”
The mama-to-be’s go-to? Frozen yogurt. “That’s on the top of my list,” Austin, who adds ice cream is another favorite, says. “I guess that’s still healthy and I like little mini muffins — strange things like that — [and] cookies!”
But even with her sudden sweet tooth, Austin says her husband hasn’t had to go out on any craving-runs for her.
“I think if you ask him, I’ve been a pretty awesome pregnant woman around him,” she says. “I haven’t had any new problems since I’ve been [pregnant].”
She adds: “I’ve been a little bit more sensitive. Like when I watch something on TV, I start crying and I’ve never done that before.”
As for what kind of parents the pair will be, Austin admits, “I think I’m going to be the hardcore one.”
“I’m going to be very protective. I think he’s going to be the cool parent, believe it or not, because he’s like that already with his kids,” she explains. “He wants to be their friend and be cool. I’m more like the ‘put your foot down and be a parent type.’ ”
Still, Austin says, the rapper turned actor and TV host will be a very hands-on dad.
“I believe since his children didn’t really live in the same house as him because the parents were separated [and] this is the first time they’ll actually live in the same house, he’ll be putting the father-ness on her,” Austin says of Ice-T, who’s already dad to Tracy and Letesha, his two adult children from a previous relationship.
