Amy Huberman has admitted being pregnant with son Billy made her “miserable”.
The actress and author gave birth to her first son in November, and while she had an easy enough pregnancy with daughter Sadie, Amy revealed second time round wasn’t too great.
“I was actually feeling pretty miserable this time around,” Amy admitted.
“I had the dreaded ‘all-day sickness’; I was one of those women who had to run to the toilet every five minutes.

“I was usually pretty OK in the mornings and then, as the day progressed, I’d become more and more nauseous,” she explained.
“When I was writing, I’d just hang around the house in my pyjamas, puking intermittently as required. I lived on a lot of dry toast.
“Even now, certain foods I don’t think will ever be the same again.”
Speaking to the Weekend section of the Irish Independent, Amy revealed that she and Brian O’Driscoll’s daughter Sadie has been referring to Billy as ‘Biddy’.

“She refuses to refer to him by anything else — which is just adorable,” she said.
And while she admitted her pregnancy was a tough one, Amy revealed she purposely kept her baby news a secret so she could work as normal.
“Work-wise, I was really busy during the summer, and I just wanted to get on with it all. I mean, people are so well-meaning, but the whole ‘bump-watch’ phenomenon seems a bit scary.
“I had a packed schedule and I didn’t want anyone to feel that they had to look after me in any way. The constant ‘and how are you feeling now today, Amy?’

Meanwhile Amy, who is currently working on her debut feature film Bolt, admitted she and Brian are still looking at making a move to LA to further her acting career.
The author and now screen-writer has been over and back to Hollywood for big auditions, and admitted Brian’s retirement means they have the option of moving.
“There definitely is more freedom. Last year, there was a potential job for me overseas. It didn’t pan out in the end, but at least now we can go for those things,” she told the Irish Independent.
“And we’re both definitely up for an adventure. The kids are still small and it’s exciting. We’ll have to see what comes our way, but Brian certainly likes the idea of being away for a bit,” she explained.

“There’s a great energy over in California, it’s so busy. You might do three or four auditions in a day.
“I’ve been in rooms auditioning with other actors there that you’d definitely recognise from various
TV shows or films.
“That’s definitely a bit terrifying, but also it’s good to know that nobody’s being handed anything on a plate. Everyone still has to work hard and audition and hope for the best.
“It’s all any of us in this industry can do,” she added.
