Naomi Campbell: 'I'll Quit Modeling When I Become a Mom'

British supermodel Naomi Campbell has vowed to quit the fashion industry when she has a baby.
The fiery catwalk queen, 38, recently paid a visit to a maternity hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, which left her broody.
Naomi, who was in Africa for the THISDAY Africa Rising concert with friend and fellow model Tyson Beckford, cradled a baby at the hospital and spoke to doctors and mothers.
A friend said, "Naomi donated six sacks of toys to the hospital and said to one doctor she was 'hoping and praying that things change if Barack Obama gets in.' "
Naomi has been talking lately about her readiness to become a mother. "I know that with a baby I'd calm down," she said. "With a child... you have to give your full self."
But speaking of her desire to give up the runway and become a full-time mom, Naomi says, "That's it, when I have babies I'm giving up this business."
Naomi -- who recently embarked upon a new relationship with a millionaire businessman and was forced to serve 200 hours of community service after assaulting two police officers at an airport -- insisted she wasn't a bad person and claims people ignore the charity work she does.
She said, "When people say all these negative things about me, I ignore them. Let them be negative - but do that away from me. It hurts but I know there is much more good in the world.
"I'm blessed to be able to do charitable work and good things but nobody focuses on that because I don't throw it in people's faces. That's why they focus on the negatives."
