Lisa Kudrow admits returning to work 10 days after giving birth was absolutely ‘insane’
Lisa Kudrow talked about returning to work after birth in a candid conversation with CBS’s Tracy Smith. A TikTok video featured the interview, in which the 62-year-old recalled how soon she went back to filming. “I’m looking back, and I had given birth to my son, and 10 days later I was at a meeting for ‘Analyze This.’” It was a 1999 movie, also starring Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro.
Kudrow narrated in the clip that it was May and her agent told her that the shooting would begin in “July,” so it was “no big deal.” However, things changed after the meeting, when Crystal announced the filming day.
“And then in the meeting, Billy Crystal’s saying, ‘Yeah, I mean, you look great. Are you sure you’re able to do this? When did you give birth?’ And I told him, he’s like, ‘Alright, well, we start Thursday,’” she shared.

Therefore, the actress had to fly to New York much sooner than she expected. She thought it was “insane” to return to work within a few weeks of giving birth. However, it seemed she was the only one with that thought.
In the interview, she explained that her in-laws (her husband Michel Stern’s parents) were flying from France. Her parents were also with her during her post-pregnancy phase. “Everyone around went, ‘Of course, you can do it,’ And I said, ‘But it’s wrong. I have a newborn,’” Kudrow said.
But, people around her told her that a baby nurse would go with her to New York. Furthermore, she concluded by saying that she wouldn’t do that again.
