Pregnancy queries irk Sandra Bullock

London: Actress Sandra Bullock says she is tired of people asking her why she hasn`t had a baby yet.Contactmusic.com reports that Bullock, who married motorbike enthusiast Jesse James in 2005 and is stepmother to his three children -- Chandler (15), Jesse Jr (12) and five-year-old Sunny -- is frustrated with people who keep asking her why she hasn`t had children of her own.

She said: "It always seems that people want to talk about my uterus. I`m not talking about theirs... Why are they talking about my innards?" The 44-year-old says she avoided falling pregnant earlier in her life because she didn`t want to be a selfish mother. "I didn`t want to have a child without a partner and I loved kids too much to have them right then, because I knew that the minute I have children my life would change. And then I met Jesse and I went, `Wow! There`s that feeling of wanting to procreate because I love someone and I see him to be a good father," she said. Despite not giving birth herself, Sandra enjoys the challenges of looking after her step-children and loves them as if they are her own. "A life is a life. Whether or not it came from your body should be secondary, in my opinion. If tomorrow I got home and went, `Oh my gosh, I`m pregnant,` I`d be like, `Wow! Isn`t the universe amazing?` But what I learnt was that it`s being more of a parent to care for a child that`s not yours. It`s harder," she told Britain`s The Times newspaper. IANS
