Kendra Wilkinson has vowed to be a "hot mama" after giving birth earlier this month. The former Playboy model welcomed her first son, Hank Baskett IV, into the world on December 11 and is already looking forward to getting back into shape.

The 24-year-old star is determined to lose the weight she gained during pregnancy and look better than ever. "I'm gonna be a hot mama," Kendra said in an interview with America's OK! magazine. The blonde star gave birth via Caesarean section and therefore has been advised not to embark on an exercise routine too early to allow her body to heal after the procedure. However, Kendra is convinced the weight is already falling off just by completing her maternal duties.

"The doctor said I can't exercise until after six weeks," Kendra explained, "But getting up and down in the middle of the night feeding him, changing him and soothing him when he's crying is my ab workout already!"

The star has devised a series of workout programmes and a healthy diet to help shift the post-pregnancy pounds. Kendra revealed she was in "heaven" after giving birth to her son with husband Hank Baskett. Speaking from her room at Clarian North Medical Center in Indiana, Kendra said shortly afterwards: "I was just in heaven. I have labour brain, though. I forgot everything that happened!"

Hank, 27, added: "It was awesome. I am in straight awe, trust me."Kendra and Hank married in a lavish ceremony at Los Angeles’ notorious Playboy Mansion in June.
