This is not drastic. Any woman who is health conscious, exercises and eats right can get back into her pre-baby shape in a few months. Getting pregnant is not a license to start being a pig and eating everything in sight,and stop working out. She seems healthier than the women who claim that once you get pregnant you can never be thin again which is a lot of crap. It's an excuse not to take care of yourself.

Uh, I cared. If you don't care about what you look like no one else will. Why not try to look good after having a baby. Unless you have a hard time with multi-functioning. Overweight , and therefore unhealthy moms should stop calling any woman who looks good as having an eating disorder. Its those that munch on chips and cake that have the problem - reality hurts.

I'd have to disagree based on the fact that it was baby weight. I have not been pregnant yet, but when I've eaten even mildly salty food I retain water quite easily. Even eating the same as I do normally, with a small bowl of salty chips thrown in at desert one night I can see an increase of a full jeans size and several pounds on the scale, but it is gone within 24 hours. I would imagine that a pregnant woman retains a much greater amount of fluids only to have their cells release that fluid after the baby is born, which I would imagine would result in what would seem to be an alarmingly rapid weight loss.

I was back down to my normal weight 3 weeks later too. I don't see the big deal either.

Same here. I gained 25 lbs and a month later lost everything but 3 lbs. Then again, I run, eat right and don't pig out, using the baby as an excuse to be a couch potato.

Same here. I gained 25 lbs while pregnant which my doctor applauded, saying don't go above 30. After the baby I lost everything except 3 lbs within a month. But then again, I didn't pig out and become a coach potato using a baby as an excuse (becaus thats all it is really, an excuse). I run, eat right and don't have a sweet tooth. And I certainly don't have an eating disorder, which is another "dig" thats easy to accuse any woman who's in good shape. Hey....lay off those donuts!

I agree Becca, I had 3 kids within 4 years and was back to wearing my size 2/4 clothes within 3 weeks after each one, and my last baby was almost 9 pounds..for pete's sake, her baby was 4 pounds! Some women's bodies can bounce back easier than other's, I never commented on friend's that took a bit longer, except the one's that have it for more than 2 year's and are still blaming it on the baby.

So true
