Jessica Alba says she's ready to slow down

I've always wanted to have children and its kind of perfect timing.  It's such a blessing.  The best thing in the whole world. 

Although her morning sickness is over, the need to continually eat -- which often eases nausea for pregnant woman -- lingers, Jessica says. 

I normally don't need to eat every few hours, in my life before being pregnant.  And now it's like the blood sugar hits the floor and I need to eat every few hours just to stay functioning. 

The 26-year-old says she's not worried about how motherhood will affect her career, and that she's looking forward to slowing down the pace she's been keeping.

I think just in this time in my life, whether having a baby [now] just happens to be the perfect time... I'm getting to a point where I don't need to do as much and I can take my time a bit.

The baby, due in May or June, will be Jessica's first with fiance Cash Warren.
