Actress Jessica Alba says she was sad about turning 30, especially because she was pregnant.

The 33-year-old, who has two daughters - Honor, six, and Haven, two, - with husband Cash Warren, found reaching a new decade a lot "harder" than she expected.

"I was pretty p***** off. I don't know why it was so hard, it just was. I was pregnant (with Haven) first of all, and I really wanted to party like a rock star. I didn't even know I cared about my twenties until I turned 30,` contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.

But now the actress is happy with her looks and feels she has grown more attractive with age.

"I feel like I look better now. I think I came into my own physically in my thirties, even when I'd had kids. I'm actually smaller now because everything kind of hangs off differently. But I feel more like a woman, with not such a girl face. I had such chubby cheeks,` she said.
