'There is that thing in this industry of like, 'Well, are you giving up? Are you just a mom now?''
The 34-year-old called her experience working while pregnant"unforgiving," saying that due to changes in a woman's body past a certain stage of pregnancy"they don't want you on camera.""[Then] once you have the baby, it's like, 'Well, you're going to have to leave to nurse every two hours, and that costs us money, and now we're dealing with insurance,'" Megan recalled.
"It becomes this big thing," she added."Hollywood is not adapted to women and us actually having lives and being moms." She went on to say that the simultaneous pressures of having to return to work and look a certain way combined with the stress of being a new mom can be"really intense.""I had to be on a TV show," Megan recalled of one of the times she gave birth."So in your brain, you're delivering, and I'm like, 'OK, well I've got to lose thirty pounds in eight weeks.
"Those things are really stressful, and you're supposed to be bonding, and nurturing yourself, and nourishing your baby," she went on."That creates a lot of tension and a lot of stress and a lot of anxiety for us to go back to work too early." Acknowledging the importance of physical appearance to an actor's career, Megan said:"What if, you know, I have melasma, I have acne from my pregnancy. Now I'm rushing into dermatologists to get all this fixed so I can be on camera."
