(getting long-winded...) now, one of the most commen phrases i've heard throughout the pregnancy is, "you're pregnant! now's your chance!" in reference to indulgences. but if you say "yes" to everything, yes, you're going to pack on some extra weight and how happy will you be with your post-babe bod? was your intention during pregnancy to become less healthy? i know mine is not. i know when i put good things in my body i feel better. my skin is better. my mood is better. i sleep better. better better better. so, while i encourage balance and health, i discourage the women who tell you, "now is the time!" tsk tsk.Karli at Girls Travelinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787877207507111181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982406245442992570.post-59813181032177667482012-06-30T12:52:32.001-04:002012-06-30T12:52:32.001-04:00You asked for my opinion...

I think that many women unnecessarily gain too much during their pregnancy, which I don't believe is good or healthy plus it's harder to lose after the baby and that makes many new mommies quite miserable. Gaining around 25 pounds for the baby is perfect, gaining 85 is too much. That's my opinion, I hope everyone doesn't hate me now. Pregnant bodies are definitely beautiful and it's wonderful that it's more acceptable to show of the baby bump than hiding it like fashion did for so many yearsWay Out Wearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806794241952158361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982406245442992570.post-490793056975509652012-05-04T10:41:51.319-04:002012-05-04T10:41:51.319-04:00That is so sweet of you -- thanks for the awesome ...That is so sweet of you -- thanks for the awesome blogger award!! : )pretty little thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197558119010680853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982406245442992570.post-48301082444299289492012-05-04T10:41:23.320-04:002012-05-04T10:41:23.320-04:00I agree Jojo!

I think women should embrace their pregnancy body and not worry so much about their own weight gain as much as the weight gain they need for a healthy baby. And personally, I love the naked bump photo shoot -- If the woman has the confidence to do it, she should rock it!!pretty little thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197558119010680853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5982406245442992570.post-77670957609910347732012-05-02T10:51:28.027-04:002012-05-02T10:51:28.027-04:00I love that pregnancy is celebrated now, instead o...I love that pregnancy is celebrated now, instead of women feeling like they have to hide!

It the natural process of life. Also (in my opinion) the weight from Jessica Simpson helps the baby so it won't be underweight. I don't mind the naked photo of the bump, I think it helps women realize that you don't have to be skinny when your pregnant and it's normal unless they try to photo shop it, but we can't help that. Great post! I start to wonder about this pregnant business too.<br /><br />XO Jojo<br /><br />www.jojosecretfashiondiary.blogspot.comJojo's diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539004928618821253noreply@blogger.com
