Lipstick Jungle star Kim Raver had to conceal her second pregnancy while shooting season one and then later, had to hide her postpartum body in season two. It wasn't an easy task!

More pics after the jump!

Kim - who plays Nico on the show - said that filming a love scene with co-star Robert Buckley at 6 months preggo "was interesting."

The 39-year-old actress said that post-baby filming was fun too. She recalls after shooting a particular scene, she was left stranded on a table because her stomach muscles were still weak after having her son. She said after the cast and crew had walked off, she was left there. Said Raver, "They called 'cut' and I was like.... Guys? Wait? Hello? I can't get up!"

Kim said she used to "stuff herself" into her dresses that she had to wear for the show. "I told everyone to turn around, because I literally had to stuff my bum and boobs into these dresses."

She added, "It seems like a glamorous show, but the first few weeks were really rough."

I love her! I love Lipstick Jungle too (shh, don't tell anyone) and I think Kim looks great and it's nice that she didn't try to starve herself into her dresses. I like that she had to stuff herself into them for awhile. Makes her seem normal!

Oh, and for the record, her squishy mom belly isn't squishy anymore.

Kim and husband Manuel Boyer have two boys, Luke, 6, and Leo, 1.
