I saw this gem in Seattlepi.com and I had to share
Katherine Heigl is putting off kids, because she's terrified pregnancy will turn her into a bloated mess.
The actress is keen to start a family with husband Josh Kelley, but she's convinced she'll pile on weight -- and lose her slim physique forever.
Heigl tells Star magazine, "One day, sure, but pregnancy scares me. I know I'll be one of those women who looks pregnant all over the body. I'll get fatter and fatter from my toes up."
Ugh. I don't even know what to say. I mean, having children is a sacrifice on one's body, emotions and relationships but why is it such a bad thing if someone really wants a baby. She may want to be honest about her fears but its as if she is labeling pregnant women as fat.
And in Hollywood, aren't the actresses working out 24/7 after having their babies? Why is she even worried?
Way to glorify the wrong things about pregnancy.
Sidenote: I also love how some women think that breastfeeding ruins their breasts. Pregnancy is what changes ones breasts not breastfeeding. So why bother having a baby and then decide not to breastfeed because of superficial reasons like that? Makes me so stabby.
