Congratulations to her and family if it's true and a happy & healthy 9 months!
-
@Lone Palm: that pic is adoraaable!!!!
-
@JerricaBenton: right, but people are assuming she's going to gain a lot of weight again the second time around? I just think it's pretty lame to assume that. plus, she's a celebrity with lots of money to hire personal trainers and childcare. If she does feel the need to lose weight quickly again post-partum, if anyone can do it, it's her. it's just funny how the news elicited a lot of "whoas" and "yikes" right off the bat rather than "congrats on another baby"!
-
@Lone Palm: I love that pic and hate how much crap people commented on it on pinterest.
It may seem soon, but it's really not. My son is just a little older than hers and I could totally imagine being pregnant right now, I don't think it'd be that big of a deal!
-
@NYCaliMama: Yeah I mean I don't care how much weight she gained but she just got sooooo much negative attention/ fake concern about how much weight she gained that no matter what she does I don't think she'll escape it the second time around. Also, at least from what I could tell, it doesn't look like she has the exact same body as she did pre-preg so it's not like she's even starting from the same point. Again - who cares for anyone else but they focus so much on that for celebs.
-
Yikes. She was pregnant for like three years!! And Now she is doing it again?
-
My LO is six months and I could see myself having another ten months from now/getting pregnant right now.
-
@JerricaBenton: I get what you mean. I just find it disappointing to read negative reactions to any pregnancy news. I myself didn't start my 2nd pregnancy at the same starting point as my pre-mom body, and although I'm not in the public eye, I have a lot of pressure from my family to lose the weight. I'm sure most women in this country can commiserate, especially those who have babies close together. Just saying that there are also moms on this board in the same boat as her in regards to weight (like myself) and/or child-spacing, so it's a little off-putting to read people's initial reactions to the news.
-
While I wouldn't want to be in her shoes, congratulations. My neighbors had a similar situation. They had so much trouble getting pregnant with their son that they started trying for #2 when he was about 6months old, well they didn't have trouble the second time around and their son kids will be about 15m apart which is about the same as JS' will be.
-
@Mrs. Pen: I know and I completely agree. I'm sure it would be a lot for some to handle but more power to those who can! My mother is a saint I swear. I always thought that once I started having kids I would just pop them out one after another - we will see. I love being an Irish twin!
-
@NYCaliMama: Just to clarify, my "whoa" was not meant to be one of judgment, but more surprise. I apologize if it came across negatively to you, as that was not my intention at all.
-
@meredithNYC: aww, I appreciate the clarification and apology, although I honestly wasn't offended by your comment in particular. I can understand being surprised! I also can see how it's easy to be less sensitive about celebrity news because it's not like they are our personal friends or anything. But when it comes to getting pregnant, having babies and all the issues that come along with it, that is something we have in common with them!
-
@NYCaliMama: I get that! I do feel bad for her that this is playing out publicly, too (if it is, indeed, true). At the very least, she should have been able to announce her pregnancy on her own terms rather than being "outed". I definitely have a soft spot for her because even though she can be kind of ridiculous, I do think she gets a lot of unfair attention. And that's extra unfair in this case when she should be celebrating this news (again, if true!) with her partner and family.
-
My LO is about 2 weeks older than hers, and I can see myself pregnant again, I don't see the big deal, but I do realize everyone is different. My sister and I are 13 months apart and grew up best friends! I do feel bad for her bc of all the pressure to lose weight and now she will be gaining weight again. But who cares!
-
@NYCaliMama: I think that's why people were like, "yikes!", though. Everyone was drawing on their own personal experiences and kind of thinking of freaked out they'd be having another one so soon!
But, good for her if she really is pregnant. My oldest was a surprise baby, and after the initial shock wore off, I was super happy.
Also, my youngest is five months, but can I admit, I'm totally ready to get pregnant on purpose right now? But waiting due to financial/practical reasons.
So I'm kinda jealous!
-
@DpeachLu: Haha, I agree that congratulations are in order!
For the record, I hated being pregnant. Like loathed it - felt terrible all the time, swelled horrible, and had high blood pressure issues. I gained 75 pounds and have lost 65 pounds in less than 5 months and have been bugging DH from 2 months out to get pregnant again. haha! So I could totally see being pregnant again right now.
So I'm kinda jealous!
