Amanda Peet was a nightmare when she was pregnant because she treated her husband like a slave and made too much fuss of her impending motherhood.

The star admits she was a little too cautious as an expectant mom and still can't believe screenwriter husband David Benioff was so patient with her.

She reveals, "The second I found out I was pregnant, I got out of a chair stomach first. I literally was a nightmare. I was like a princess. I was like a pig in s**t. I was like, 'Get me more food, get me my bags, let me go home early,' and then, 'Look at my big boobs, look at my big bum. Aren't I delicious?

"I ate peas about five nights a week with 10 pounds of butter and 10 pounds of salt. I was so excited that my craving was so healthy until I realized it was the butter and the salt I was craving."

And she created an emergency on the set of Martian Child, the film she was shooting with John Cusack when she discovered she was with child.

She adds, "We did a bowling scene and I fell and I got really scared because I'd literally been pregnant for two minutes. The baby was probably the size of a little piece of grain and I started crying, 'John I'm pregnant! Could the baby be hurt?' He was like, 'Jesus, call your husband!' I was such a drama queen."
