Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi is feeling the pangs of pregnancy.

"I actually can't button my jeans anymore," she tells Usmagazine.com. "Upandnbsp;until about a week ago, I could. "There's just too much pressure, so I'veandnbsp;had to put them away for now."

The 39-year-old Lakshmi -- who struggles with endometriosis, a painfulandnbsp;uterine condition that can lead to infertility -- says she hasn't changedandnbsp;her diet.

See stars who've denied they're pregnant!

"I haven't really had any cravings," she says. "There was about aandnbsp;week-and-a- half when I was really craving a cinnamon donut. Then I had theandnbsp;cinnamon donut, and it was like, 'Eh.' I mean, it was ok, but that was it.andnbsp;And then it was over."

Meet Hollywood's new moms club!

Lakshmi -- who isn't revealing the baby's father -- says she's "always beenandnbsp;a big advocate of eating what you love and making good choices. That's whatandnbsp;I'm still doing now."

See stars' amazing post-baby bodies!

    Do we REALLY care who the father of her baby is? We are far too involved in these peoples lives! Remember when Rachel Ray first became popular and all of a sudden every Tom, Dick and Harry felt we all wanted to know her made up sex habits!!! WHY can't we just wish them well or in the case of Kate Gosslin, good ridance!

    As a women who suffered all her life with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome and all that went with it,including 10 years of infertility,non-ovulation even though I ate fertility drugs like they were candy and Pergonal treatments, I finally gave birth to Micah Daniel in March of 1986,his brother Ryan in 1988 and his brother Josiah in 1992! I pray for her many years of happiness with her beautiful child.

    She's been trying to get pregnant, she probably went to a sperm bank and Tom (the bald guy on Chef) wouldn't touch her, watch how he rolls his eyes every time she speaks at judges table.

    I think the dad is either married or maybe the bald guy on Top Chef.
