KEY POINTS:
Angelina Jolie says being pregnant is great for her sex life.
The Oscar-winning actress - who is expecting twins with partner Brad Pitt - revealed her ever-expanding stomach means they have to make love in a variety of positions.
She said: "It's great for the sex life. It just makes you a lot more
creative. So you have fun, and as a woman you're just so round and full."
Angelina - who has three adopted children, Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three, as well as two-year-old biological daughter Shiloh, with the Fight Club star - admits the couple were surprised when they discovered they were having twins.
She said: "We weren't expecting twins. So it did shock us, and we jumped to six children quickly. But we like a challenge."
When asked how she and Pitt plan to handle six young children, the 33-year-old actress says: "We really don't know. His mom and dad are on standby to come out and help. And fortunately we can hire help if we need it, but we're going to try as we usually do to balance it as well as we can."
The Wanted actress, who is due to give birth within the next couple of weeks, is determined to make sure the other kids don't feel left out when their new siblings arrive.
She added to Entertainment Weekly magazine: "They're old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle. We're trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing. Everybody gets special time so we can make sure we know where they're at."
How do Jolie and Pitt, 44, define their relationship?
"We have that problem all the time," she says. "I say 'partner' sometimes. 'Father of my children' is too long. But half the time people refer to us as, 'So, your wife this, your husband that.' We've stopped correcting everybody."'
Jolie, who has two upcoming films, "Wanted" and "Changeling," continues to draw strong reactions from the public, which she sees as a good thing.
"That some people support me and some people really don't like me tells me that I'm making decisions and I'm standing strong for something I believe in. I'm making choices in life. And that's the right thing to do."
