During an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show on Monday, Bell, 34, noted that an unexpected C-section also meant having an epidural for the first time. “As someone who has never experimented with drugs, I really enjoyed it,” she joked.

“While they were doing it, I was thinking, ‘What else could we get done down there?’…Anything to keep the epidural flowing,” she added.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and Kristen found herself scratching her face “like a meth addict” when the medicine began to wear off.

She went on to tell Ellen that a nurse gave her some Benadryl to help her sleep and ease the itching. The “cocktail,” according to Bell, had an interesting side effect.

“Do you know what looks really good when you’re on that stuff?” said Kristen. “Handbags. Or throw pillows or rugs. I was just like, ‘Internet shopping, woo!’”

“Thank God I didn’t remember my credit card number. So nothing bad happened,” she joked, “but … honestly, a picture of a throw pillow was as mind-blowing as seeing The Matrix for the first time. That’s how I felt.”

Bell also revealed to DeGeneres that she and her husband, Parenthood star Dax Shepard, are through having kids after welcoming Delta and her 22-month-old sister, Lincoln, declaring, “We don’t want to be outnumbered. We’re gonna cap it at two.”
