you didn't see the crowning cupcake?
That was hilarious! :laugh:
I had to google it after hearing about this.
The first cupcake in history that I don't want.
Do not want.
No.

Actually I admit I thought maybe it was supposed to be a baby 'peeking' out of it's mother's womb. Still a weird theme for a cupcake.
I would totally eat it.0 -
Cupcakes are bad for you.0

^ NOOOOOOO!!
In all seriousness, each person is at a different place with respect to weight gain during pregnancy. In my first pregnancy I was at a healthy weight to start and trained like a badass at kickboxing. But my doctor advised me to quit at about 4.5 months pregnant because of the anaerobic nature of the workouts. So I did... only I was used to eating as if I was training 6-8 hours a week as I had been
And I didn't have any other activity - other than walking - to replace it with. To make matters worse, I also ended up with Gestational Diabetes, so my body wasn't properly processing the sugar I was eating. SOOOO... I put on 70 lbs.
With my 2nd I wasn't doing kickboxing, I was running... and I kept running through about 32 weeks and, while I had GD for a 2nd time, I started the GD diet as soon as I found out I was pregnant and gained an appropriate 26 lbs and it all came off after and then some.
So it's not just the person... it can be the circumstances to some extent.0 -
I doubt if the way this new mom looks after 4 days is attainable by all but a minority of women...same as the way the cover models on Men's Health look is attainable by all but a minority of men.
Wouldn't it be refreshing if we all stopped comparing ourselves to unrealistic ideals, and just tried to achieve our own personal best?0 -

I was 39 and an avid runner when I got pregnant. I kept running for awhile, but it just didn't 'feel' right. My cardio was suffering and my belly was uncomfortable. I took a very happy hiatus from all activity except working full time and eating lots of bowls of cereal. :laugh: I just felt so fortunate that I was able to get naturally pregnant at that age, and I felt absolutely no need to do ANYthing except enjoy the process of getting BIG. Heheh. The weight was all gone by the time she was a year old anyway, just from the breast feeding. I started having to drink Ensure to keep my weight up. I am only just getting back to running 9 years later. :blushing:0 -
In for what will inevitably cause me to put off getting pregnant another year or four.
And also to call BinaryPulsar a big mean bully

Let's just make sure we get Part 2 off on the right track.
We're all in agreement here that BinaryPulsar is big mean, meanie, mcmeanerstien, right? That was the entire point of Part 1, no? I mean, she couldn't even go back and look at 2 years worth of some total stranger's instagram posts!!!
She's by far my meanest friend. No fairness, authenticity, or thoughtfulness in that one. :grumble:0 -

TL;DR - it takes some women NINE YEARS to recover from pregnancy to the point that they can resume running.

If I recall correctly, most mothers who gain a lot of weight gain it without actually needing to. You don't have to eat that many extra calories to "maintain" your lean body mass + provide for baby. Even if you gain 10 pounds of fat, after a few months, you can be back to where you were.
What isn't mentioned is that these moms are educated and aware about their body and health BEFORE and AFTER the baby.
Because low body fat = healthy + smart + self-disciplined0 -
My BF was so low my ob recommended that I gain BF to conceive.
You can have BF which is too low.0 -

FIFY
(Part 2 is different than part 1...
...but honestly, most of the whining in part 1 was, I think, about other posters based on an assumption that the other posters were whining.)0 -
I know I'm late to the party, but damn, kudos to her looking like that 4 days postpartum. I'm glad she had the self-confidence to take a picture and post something like that that soon after giving birth.
My first reaction was that there is no way she can look like that that soon after birthing. Then I realized I was still in the hospital 4 days after giving birth and binging on pudding cups. I have no reason to complain.0 -
Who are WIC?
Oh, I just realized no one answered this. It's Women, Infants, Children. http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/women-infants-and-children-wic0 -

The possibility that you'll be so swollen in your nethers that you won't be able to pee so three nurses will spend the next hour trying to find the urethral opening only to call in the most experienced nurse to do it who will tell you, as you're weeping tears in agony, that in cases with as much swelling as this the best thing to do is watch the patient's face for signs of the greatest pain in order to get that tube reinserted.
Note: I didn't cry when a nail went clean through my foot but I cried when it felt like the were using scalpels down there.
Is that what you were looking for?
2nd note: I still only have the one...0 -
