New York: Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie, in her first interview since the birth of her daughter in May, says the experience was frightening.
"You know, because you're there for the birth, which I wasn't for my first two kids, you're just suddenly terrified that they're not gonna take a first breath," the 31-year-old actress said.
"That was my whole focus. I just wanted to hear her cry," Jolie added.
Jolie gave birth to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt on May 27 at a private clinic in the resort town of Walvis Bay in Namibia.
The baby, healthy and weighing 7 pounds, was delivered by Caesarean section.
In excerpts of the interview Jolie said Brad Pitt was in the operating room for the delivery.
"He was in the operating room, yeah, yeah," she said.
"And we had amazing doctors. And everybody was so lovely," she added.
Jolie and Pitt, 42, have since left Namibia with their newborn daughter and two older children-16-month-old Zahara, adopted from Ethiopia, and 4-year-old Maddox, adopted from Cambodia.
Both Maddox and Zahara's surnames have been legally changed to Jolie-Pitt after Pitt announced his intention to adopt the children as well.
The actress also acknowledged that she gives a third of her income to charity and jokes, "Yeah, well, I had a stupid income for what I do."
The Jolie interview will be aired on Tuesday as part of CNN's entire day of programming devoted to World Refugee Day.
