Iman talks of trouble getting pregnant

Iman has talked freely about the difficulty she had getting pregnant with her three-year-old daughter Alexandria Zahra by husband David Bowie.

After two attempts at becoming pregnant by using in-vitro fertilisation failed, she remembered an African tradition from her childhood. The older women in Somalia, where she was born, always preached that holding a baby for a day would boost fertility, the supermodel says in the April issue of More magazine.

So on a photo shoot Iman held Christie Brinkley's baby and a month later she became pregnant.

“The joke is,” she said, “it took two blondes to get me pregnant.”
