Tori Spelling Shocked to Learn of her Fourth Pregnancy

 Tori Spelling  described finding out the news as the 'second biggest shock of my life.'

The 38-year-old mother-of-three says she wasn't expecting to get pregnant so soon after the arrival of her daughter Hattie last year. 

'I was shocked, obviously,' she told People magazine.

'It was the second biggest shock of my life. The first was when they said Hattie was a girl when she was born, because we thought she was going to be a boy. 

'And the second was that I was pregnant after my newborn had just turned one month old. We were shocked.'

The former Beverly Hills 90210 also joked about the unexpected outcome on the Today show.

'I can dispel the old wives’ tale that you can’t get pregnant while you’re breastfeeding,' she said.

She also revealed that her and husband Dean McDermott didn't listen to her doctor, who advised them not to have sex until six weeks after her C-section.

'You’re going to have to talk to Dean about this because when we got out of the hospital, I was like, "Specifically, the doctor said to wait six weeks."

'And he was like, "They tell everyone that. We didn’t wait that long with Stella Or Liam.’”

Tori joked that she caved because she didn't want her husband to think that their sex life would diminish because of the new arrival.

'I didn’t want him to think that the sex was going downhill,' she joked. 'So here you go. Here’s four.'

And the actress and reality star couldn't help but rave about her handsome hubby.

'As women, we’re so hard on our husbands,' she said. 'I give him so much grief for no reason. He’ll take his motorcycle out for an hour and I’m like, "Where were you? Where’d you go?"

'And then I’m like, he’s the most kick-ass dad. Talk about a woman doing it all? He’s a man doing it all, and he does it all and with ease. I’m amazed by him every day and I am so lucky.'

Tori announced that she was pregnant with baby number four via her Twitter account last month.

She posted a message saying: 'Our family has some exciting and life changing news to share,' which linked to her website.

Tori wrote: 'Dean, Liam, Stella, Hattie, and I are beyond thrilled to announce that another little McDermott is on the way!

'We feel truly blessed that another angel has found us.'

She also posted a picture of her bump with her children's hands resting on top of it.

Tori fell pregnant just one month after giving birth to Hattie.

In April last year the Tori and Dean, who married in 2006, took to Twitter to announce they were expecting their third child.

And after giving birth to Hattie Tori spoke of her desire to have a large family.

The reality TV star revealed:  'People say, "Oh my God, it's utter chaos after two." But it's not, it's great.

'You lost your mind after the second one, so the third fourth and fifth, it's like you're so far gone, it's just kind of the same.'

Dean, 46, added:  'As soon as I saw it was positive and it was a pregnancy, we both thought we need to have a fourth - at the same time.'

Tori Spelling Defends Jessica Simpson's Weight Gain

Tori Spelling is the latest star to come out in defense of Jessica Simpson's pregnancy weight gain.

The 38-year-old actress, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, said people should 'lay off' Jessica, and let her enjoy this 'special time'.

She told Celebuzz.com: 'When women are pregnant, people need to lay off.

'It's a really special time and you should be able to deal with it in your own terms.'

Tori's comments came after The View's Joy Behar caused a stir with her comments about Jessica's weight, saying the star has gained a lot more than is usual during her pregnancy.

She said: 'Remember the the time that Jessica Simpson was criticised because she didn't know the difference between chicken and tuna? That kind of thing is more fun to criticise than the fact that the girl is fat. 

'Most women who are pregnant are not supposed to gain more than 25 pounds. She looks like she gained a lot more than that.'

'

Following Behar's comments, Sarah Palin was quick to defend Jessica, saying: 'I would have wanted to punch Jessica's critics in the neck. It's none of anybody else's business how much weight I would gain.'

And body image expert Dr. Robyn Silverman told Fox News of Jessica's weight: 'I find it appalling that people believe it is their place to criticize a woman for gaining weight during pregnancy. Jessica Simpson’s body health and the health of her developing baby are the business of her doctor, her fiancé, and most of all, herself. 

'Jessica Simpson is a great demonstration of a woman who is enjoying her pregnancy and is not hyper focused on how she looks while pregnant.'

Jessica, whose first child with fiancé Eric Johnson is due on April 20th, previously explained her weight gain as having too much 'amniotic fluid'.

She said: 'Apparently I have a lot of amniotic fluid, so whenever my water breaks it will be like a fire hydrant!'
