"It's very hard," the actress told GMTV. "I stopped at three months, [it was] about as much as I could do."
Jolie, 33, who was in London for the premiere of her film Changeling Monday, November 17, along with partner Brad Pitt and their twins, Knox Léon and Vivienne Marcheline, didn't give up without reading up extensively on the subject.
"There's this football hold - it's a lot harder than it looks in the books," she says. "I did that a few times. I would take turns. It just takes a long time."
Jolie says she conceived the twin during the filming of Changeling.
"We decided to start trying in the beginning, and by the end I was [pregnant]."
In Changeling, which is set in the 1920s, Jolie plays a woman whose kidnapped son is returned to her by the police. She suspects police have given her the wrong boy and she is sent to an insane asylum for disagreeing with the LAPD.
