Singer/actress Jennifer Hudson introduces her son in the latest issue of PEOPLE magazine.

Jennifer Hudson, who gave birth to her first child David on August 10th, seems to be agreeing with motherhood. She told PEOPLE, “I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy. Who better to devote my time to than my own child?”

The singer also discussed the fact that she kept her pregnancy a secret as long as possible. She says, “David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn’t have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, ‘Oh, well, we’ll wait until it’ll tell on itself.’ I didn’t show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there.”

The singer also talks about what it was like to have a C-section. “Everybody told me how much it was going to hurt afterwards but I think I have a different tolerance for pain than others. By that night after I had the baby, I’m like, ‘Look, I can’t sit in this bed anymore. I’ve got to get up!’ I’ve been up and about since he was born. To me, the pain is no different than when you work out a muscle you’ve never worked out before and it’s sore.”

So, does Jennifer want her son to pursue a career in entertainment just like her. According to Jennifer, “We’ll definitely encourage education. His father is an education fanatic so we definitely want him to get an education and go to school. My mom always said, ‘Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you as long as you’re happy.’ So I will do the same.”

David is the first child for Jennifer and her fiance David Otunga.
