Actress Helena Bonham Carter looked forward to childbirth when she was pregnant with her son and daughter, because the epidurals she received put her in a calming, "blissed-out" state.

The Alice In Wonderland star and her partner Tim Burton welcomed Billy in 2003 and girl Nell in 2007.

It's so underrated! I think it was wonderful for me

And the British actress insists the experience of going into labour wasmade so enjoyable by the painkillers, she would happily give birth to a baby "every day".

She says, "I would love to have a baby every day. I'm just talking about childbirth. I love childbirth, I did. It's so underrated! "I think it was wonderful for me.

It's the only time I did drugs and that epidural is a drug.

I could have one (a baby) every day.

I wouldn't look after them, but I could have them everyday! "The epidural, I worship at the altar of the person who invented the drug, because you go from a life-transforming pain to just this blissed-outstate. And it does have opium in it, did you know that? So that's probably why I was so happy. "Two times is actually not that bad...

Billy and Nell, they're amazing".
