Christina Applegate, speaking publicly for the first time since having her baby daughter Sadie Grace LeNoble three weeks ago, describes the "profound” pains of giving birth on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday, and says that parenthood’s “best thing that's ever happened” to her.

Applegate, a breast cancer survivor, said that her January 27 labor took "about 18 hours" in total.

"I had my plan," the 39-year-old Married... With Children star said. "Plans are a big joke, you know, mine was to have an epidural, but I didn't react to it well... I didn't like it.
