Actress Amanda Seyfried is not in the family way, but she says she wouldn't want to work whenever she gets pregnant.

The 28-year-old has been cast in "Ted 2" and though she is unsure whether actress Mila Kunis, who is expecting her first child with fiance Ashton Kutcher, will be returning for the comedy sequel, she would understand if she wanted to take time out to focus on her child's arrival, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I don't know whether (Mila Kunis) has a role in 'Ted 2'. I don't know what she's going to do. I know if I were her and pregnant, I wouldn't be thinking about work," said Seyfried.

"I understand you can balance it but...I think it would be so nice to be pregnant at some point when I'm ready for that," she added.
