Nicole Kidman overwhelmed with pressure of motherhood and career



Nicole Kidman is overwhelmed by the pressure of juggling motherhood with her career.

Friends are said to be worried about the actress - who gave birth to daughter Sunday Rose in July - after she slimmed down to 10lbs below her pre-pregnancy weight and collapsed in tears as the strain took its toll.

A source close to the 'Moulin Rouge!' star said: "From the start Nicole seemed determined to lose her baby weight. Just a week after giving birth she had regained her pre-pregnancy figure and dropped nearly all the weight she'd gained while expecting.

"We think she has since dropped 10lbs below her pre-pregnancy weight of 125lbs.

"Nicole started rehearsals for new musical 'Nine' a few weeks after Sunday's birth. She's doing two or three hours of dancing a day. On top of that, she went right back to working out with a trainer, doing yoga and Pilates, as well as swimming and jogging."

Nicole showed her stress during a recent visit with husband Keith Urban to see her family in her home country of Australia.

The source added: "They flew to Sydney for some family time but Nicole broke down in tears within a few hours of landing. She sounds like she's overwhelmed."

Nicole is also said to be struggling to find the time to sleep as she tries to balance work, motherhood and her fitness regime.

The insider said: "I think Nicole wants to be the perfect mum so she always tries to be there when Sunday opens her eyes in the morning, as well as putting her down at night.

"But she doesn't seem to be sneaking in more than four hours sleep a night."
