Husbands role is pregnancy weight gain?
I'm 25 and my wife is pregnant. We both have always been very fit, active and healthy eaters, but now that she is pregnant, she is afraid of gaining weight. To make it easier, she asked me to stop working out during the pregnancy and to indulge in her cravings as well so that I will gain weight too. The idea being that she won't feel so bad if I'm getting fat too. Should I do it to support her? Is it normal? If so, are there any guys out there who can tell me how much they had to gain?
How long does it take for a woman to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight? Part question and part rant.?
Our 2nd child was born 8 months ago. My wife mentioned one day," It could take 9 months to lose all this weight" . I remember thinking it could take 4 months if she worked at it, but I knew better than to say anything . Now it's 8 months later. There won't be some miracle in the next 30 days. I feel bad, but I also feed bad for feeling bad. The bits of Oprah and Dr. Phil I watch have told me people need to lose weight for themselves and not for other people. I see her put cheese on eggs, ranch on everything, midnight snacks AND she eats more quantity and more often than I do. Seems like she doesn t care about getting back in shape.She is 5 3 and went from 130 to almost 180. I was never looking for a Size 4 but, damn, she s outgrown TWO sets of clothes since we met. My secret rule for women has always been no woman with a gut bigger than mine . She is way past that and I don t know what to do. I am not comparing her to other women. I am comparing her to HER, just 3 yrs ago.Only had 1000 characters to work with at first. 1 She went to Bally's for like two weeks and then stopped. I never EVER bailed on watching the kids when she said she needed to go work out. 2 I don't have a gut and I am the same size as I was since college c o '93. 3 I am not going to have an affair and I am not going to leave. 4 I have never said anything to her directly or by hints about her weight. 5 If I went bald then that would be beyond my control. If I grew a gut then I'd be at Bally's or at least cutting the intake.More details Mom watches the kids and I am the primary cook so it's not like she is a housewife slaving all day around the house. She has an easy office job with Thursdays off. I make reasonable sized portions of healthy food and I know it's not the cooking that contributes to the weight gain. My issue is that she makes sure that not a hair is out of place on her head, but she doesn't show the same concern for herself below the neck. Hours at the beauty shop and discussions about hair. Like who cares about hair when your gut is bigger than mine? She speaks of losing weight when she was single. That means she must've looked at herself in the mirror at some point and decided to get in shape to get a guy. Now it doesn't seem to be that big of a priority. I consciously decide not to go back for seconds or Supersize it or eat before going to bed. She used to have the same kind of priorities, but not any more...
Do men mind pregnancy weight and stretch marks?
I am a single mom and my son is 6 months old. I am 60 pounds more than I was when I got pregnant. I am insecure but want to start dating again.
