Amy Huberman is in no rush for a sibling for daughter Sadie – as she can’t handle another year without any sleep.
The Threesome star, 34, now wants to get back to work instead of becoming a stay at home mum.
She said: “Once you have one, it’s like when the other one. For me personally it won’t be for a while.
“I feel like we’re getting our life back together now. She’s going to be one in a couple of weeks, it’s a really nice age and time.
“She has a personality and I am not so sleep deprived and can think straight. It feels easier and I am in no rush to jump back into that, Id love to work for another couple of years.”
And Amy – who is married to rugby star Brian O’Driscoll – fears staying away from acting for too long could make it hard to find a role.
She said: “I am [enjoying motherhood]. She was very little when I still had bits to do and I went to Australia and came back and said I’m taking the rest of the summer off.

“It’s a scary thing to do when you work for yourself, I did say if anything amazing comes along I would go for it.
“But it’s kind of strange when you don’t have a set maternity leave and you feel like this job is all momentum and you don’t want to lose things.
“But at the same time, there are bigger things in life and it’s all about a balance. I’ve done a couple of things in the last while and I have an innate hunger to do something else and I’m glad that hasn’t gone away.
“I have a really great backup at home and it will be fun and I can come back and tell Sadie all my stories.”
And Amy – who launched the Bord Gais Energy Student Theatre Awards – said she might head back to Los Angeles to try again after previously being dumped from US show Animal Practice.
She added: “I might pop over for another couple of meetings, I might go over and if I do, just to see what’s going on.
“I’m doing some takes for the States all the time from here, you kind of go on tape for a lot of stuff over there anyway. We’ll see, I’m kind of a last minute girl.”
