Karen Gillan's life has been "a bit of a blur" since giving birth to her first child.
The 37-year-old actress and her comedian husband Nick Kocher welcomed a daughter named Clementine late last year and Karen admits becoming a mother has been "the most incredible experience".
She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I had a baby [about] five months ago. It’s the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. It’s been a bit of a blur for the last few months."
Karen went on to reveal she wrote a pilot episode for a TV show in a "complete postpartum haze" because she enjoyed being creative by writing whenever her baby was sleeping - and she hopes the project will eventually make it to screen.
She explained: "Somehow, I don’t remember doing this, but I’ve written a pilot. OK, this is a complete postpartum haze of a pilot.
"It’s like when the baby was sleeping on me, I was like, I’m just going to start writing and I don’t even know if I show this to anyone.
"It sort of allowed me to really just word vomit and free write without the self-judgment of it all. I don’t even know if this will go anywhere, and it’s OK actually. I think I’m going to get it to a good spot.
"That’s sort of what I do to feel like I’m still being creative. It’s an outlet. It is fun for me, but there’s an end goal to it, which is hopefully I will make it at some point."
The former Doctor Who star married Nick in May 2022 at Castle Toward in Scotland and she previously revealed that she first connected with the comedian over social media.
During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark, she recalled: "I slid into his DMs on Instagram. It's true. He popped up on my recommended friends list on Instagram. The algorithm is tearing the country apart but it brought me together with my guy ...
"So it was on Twitter. I followed him on Instagram and he didn't DM me ... So I followed him on Twitter as well ... Anyway so I DMed him on Twitter saying: 'Hi your tweets are really funny. I'm Karen by the way'.
"It wasn't very interesting. I hadn't really read his tweets ... He's a comedy writer and that's how you make them feel good about themselves."
