Is it just me, or does Jessica Simpson seem like she's been pregnant for like, oh I don't know, two years?! She certainly looks ready to pop at any second, though she supposedly has a few more weeks to go before her due date. That baby bump has got to be one of the biggest in the history of celebrity bumps, for sure, and it's more than that -- Simpson has definitely put on a lot of weight during her pregnancy.
Now, Jessica Simpson is talking about her pregnancy weight gain, saying she's pretty much ready to get back into shape after she delivers her baby. No doubt! She's in for an uphill climb (or a lot of uphill climbs on a treadmill, at the very least), but as countless gorgeous celebrities have proved since the beginning of time, it can be done.Jessica Simpson has confessed that she's put on a whopping 40 pounds during pregnancy. To be fair, that's not unusual, but it's a little high. I actually looked this up on WebMD, and apparently for a normal sized woman, gaining up to 35 pounds while pregnant isn't abnormal. I'd say Jessica Simpson qualifies as normal sized, right?
Anyway, back to Jessica's story. She says that she's had a blast "not having to worry" about how much she's eating. That's understandable, and it's a good thing. No need to stress out over weight with a baby on board (unless it's like a crazy weight gain, then yeah, worry a bit). The thing is, Jessica already has a huge advantage: She's a (very) wealthy celebrity. This means she can hire a small army of chefs to cook her healthy post-baby meals, a group of trainers to whip her back into shape in a matter of weeks and a nanny to keep an eye on that precious newborn while she hits the gym. All of us should be so fortunate, right?
