Now that the baby is out, The Secret Life of the American Teenager star Shailene Woodley says that working without the baby bump has been good, but what she enjoys more about filming the second season of the ABC Family drama is the twin stage babies that play her son.

"It's so adorable," Woodley tells Starpulse. "They look identical. They're actually incredible. They've never screamed with me in scenes I've done with them. But I was holding one of them once and he was staring up at the boom mike and waving to people behind the camera, paying attention to everything but the scene."



Does this mean she would soon follow of the path of her character on the series? Not likely, the 17-year-old said. Amy Juergens, whom she has played for more than a season, lost her virginity in a one-night stand in band camp when she was 16.

"When you hold the kid it's just, I mean they're adorable but I'm not anxious for taking care of it and staying up late and not sleeping and changing diapers all the time. So I definitely want to get my life out of the way before I start a family."

Woodley also talked about how shocked she is upon finding out who watches the show. "I haven't seen any pregnant 15-year-olds, but sometimes I'm shocked. A little little girl will come up, 'Can I have a picture' and I'm like, 'What are you doing watching the show?' like little eight year olds! I didn't know the things that they know now."

On the upcoming episode of the Secret Life, Amy (Woodley) is having trouble copy with her hectic lifestyle now that she has school and a baby to look after, while Ben (Kenny Baumann) begins to decide how he will be spending his summer break.
