Hubs and I were discussing last night... How many calories do you think the average woman burns during labor and delivery??
-
Is it as much as you burn during vacuuming? Maybe a bit more?
-
Oh dear. Haha what a question. Depends on how long you labor and push.
-
Pfft, I burned a bazillion majillion calories for sure. That's why I ate like a COW the second I was able to get my paws on some food.
-
Idk but I was sweating like craaaazy!
-
I heard that it is the equivalent to running two marathons, back to back (for the average length labor: 12-24 hours), so... does that help?
And @mrbee: What?!?!
-
@Arden: Woah!
-
Just checked google. It says 50,000 on average. That can't be right.
-
Wow, no wonder I was starving afterwards!
-
@mrbee: sounds pretty equivilant to me!!
@Arden: Whaaaat??
-
@MamaMoose: I believe the two marathons. But two marathons can't burn 50000 calories. That's insane.
-
@Arden: two marathons would be about 50000 I think it's 100 calories a mile, right?
-
I will wear my heart rate monitor next time
in June & get back to you!
