Tiny actress Hayden Panettiere was pregnant with boxer Wladimir Klitschko's giant baby for what seemed like an eternity, until she gave birth on December 9. It appears now that her trials are not over. Panettiere tells People, "I'm limping around. I'm still trying to figure out what [pregnancy] has done to my body..."

The 25-year-old star explains she is struggling to comprehend what happened to her as she transitioned into motherhood. It's "such a surreal experience and so out of body," she says. "You're suddenly looking at this little thing like, 'Oh, that was you in my belly this whole time.'"

She continues:

I'm limping around. I'm still trying to figure out what [pregnancy] has done to my body, how it's changed it. What's temporary and what's permanent. I feel like an 80-year-old woman trying to go down the stairs, you know, please tell me this is temporary. But I know some things will never be the same again.

Some things will never be the same again.

Luckily, baby Kaya is cute. Hayden notes, "She's really so sweet. I'm sure that's the way it's meant to be, because when they are putting you through the ringer you're like, 'You are so lucky you're cute!'"
