I was looking for an interesting and informative article to post on my blog, as I do almost every morning, and I came across this ridiculous one! I could not believe that someone described pregnancy in such a way. Yeah, we do get some of the symptoms described, but you don't have to be so mean about it! I actually didn't think my nose "became really big." Basically, the article is stating that since I am turning into something very unattractive, it's important to avoid excess pregnancy weight. Does that make any sense? How does this make you feel after you read it? Am I just over reacting? Check it out:
Also, keep in mind that is was written in a credible news source, American Chronicle!
Getting pregnant is perhaps the worst way that a woman can appear in her life. Not only is she as fat as an overgrown pig, she also has swollen legs and feet, swollen cheeks and her hair is falling fast. In addition to this, some pregnant women even morph into someone else when they are pregnant. They get acne and their noses become really big. Thus, you need to avoid excess pregnancy weight to feel good while pregnant.
Gaining weight is normal for women who are pregnant because there is an additional weight in your body— the baby. This, however, does not mean that you can gain excess pregnancy weight as much as you want to. There is also a limit in the kind of weight that you can gain as excess pregnancy weight can also cause a problem in giving birth.
Babies who are too big because of the kind of diet that their moms had while pregnant will be harder to deliver as opposed to infants who are just the right size. Often moms who have excess pregnancy weight and have really big babies inside them will end up in the caesarian section of the hospital, which can be really expensive and of course, more dangerous.
This is the reason why most doctors advice their patients to be more careful in the foods that they consume as this can result in a much too big baby for you. This is especially true with women who have smaller frames and those with really small hips. Below are some tips that can help pregnant women like you avoid excess pregnancy weight.
Don't eat too much
Being pregnant does not give you the license to eat anything you want, anytime you want, in whatever amounts that you want. You also need to balance the amount of food that you eat to avoid excess pregnancy weight. Eat what is enough for both of you. If you are already full, stop. Some women make the mistake of eating even when they are already full because they want their babies to have enough. This is wrong. Your body will tell you if what you have consumed is already enough.

It sounds to me like this person (a man perhaps) does not perform adequate research. A woman is expected to gain weight and as long as the woman eats a healthy variety of food then there is no need to be overly concerned with weight gain. A woman that may "appear" to be a healthy size may not necessarily be eating properly for her and for her unborn child whereas an overweight mother-to-be may be at her healthiest while pregnant due to healthier eating habits. This article was written strictly for aesthetic purposes only. A pregnant woman may not feel her best while she is pregnant but there is no doubt that creating a life is a very beautiful thing. Cheers to all of the other mothers-to-be!
I know that some women struggle with the weight gain that is (I think) a normal part of pregnancy. I've run across several women recently who had particular trouble in part because of a history of eating disorders. But, being newly pregnant and somewhat obsessive about research, I have discovered a quote which should probably be on the mirror of every woman who is or soon will be pregnant: Our bodies are generally incapable of producing a "too big" baby to birth via the birth canal.
As for the tone of the article, I thought it was absolutely horrible. No wonder we women have such a complex about pregnancy and birth!
This person needs to talk to an OB doctor before voicing their opinion. What or how much you eat has nothing to do with the size of your baby. Your baby is going to be the size it is going to be due to genetics, not if you ate too many Snickers bars! All the tips this person gave are very helpful, but to insult women who are going through a beautiful, yet very stressful and difficult time is ignorant. Not only are all women different and go through different pregnancy problems/stages, each pregancy a woman has is completely different! It bothers me that journalism has gone so downhill that people are allowed to print wahtever they want and call it fact. This person, and their editor, should be ashamed of themselves!
