Gwen Stefani will be back in the gym fighting off the baby weight as soon as she gives birth because of media pressure, states her husband Gavin Rossdale.

The No Doubt star, who is due to give birth to her second child this summer, is feeling the strain of having to shed the pounds gained during her pregnancy and return to her slim pre-baby figure.

And rocker Rossdale sympathises with his wife's struggle to slim down.

Rossdale says: "Yeah, she does (feel under pressure). I mean, she's just so dedicated and she's just amazing with that stuff (weight loss).

"It's very hard because everyone's so judged the whole time."

The couple are already parents to a two-year-old son, Kingston.
