Pregnant Kim Kardashian can’t win. Now that she’s barely showing, concerned bodysnarkers are swooping in to comment on what the Daily Mail has backhandedly described as her “growing curves.” But in the proper and fairly standard bookend to such Fatty McFat coverage, now the rags are leaning in to say that Kim may be going to the gym too frequently. If it’s not one, then it’s certainly the other. More
Kim Kardashian‘s baby bump is officially here and with that comes the slew of bodysnarking one can expect from virtually any fluctuation in virtually any celebrity lady’s weight. Â But a visit to the bowels of the infamously fat-shamey Daily Mail reveals what many a fat-shaming scum is saying about the reality star’s body. More
Ladies, you can never start planning for that post-baby body too early!
Better schedule all that stretch-mark removal and plastic surgery appointments around the first trimester. Take a page from Jennifer Aniston, who OK! magazine is alleging is not only pregnant but seriously planning ahead to be a postpartum bombshell thanks to a slew of procedures. Get those breast augmentations on the books STAT, mommies! More
The ever clickable “post-baby body” never fails to grab a headline for a celebrity down on their PR or — in the case of most tabloid media — incite a bunch of truly derogatory vocabulary. You don’t even need to be the “world’s most beautiful woman” to know the scrutiny (or elation) with the media-obsessed post-baby body.
Kourtney Kardashian welcomed her second baby (and future reality TV star), Penelope Disick, last July. Nearly six months later, the eldest Kardashian is letting photographers snap nearly every angle of her 44 lb weight loss — like you do. And don’t forget those multiple Kourtney Kardashian bikini changes! More
Every girl has that “girls body image” moment. Mine was in high school when I lost four pounds over a week of summer charity work and when I returned, my envious school friends said I looked âreally skinny.â For my sister, it was in the fifth grade, when she developed early and was bullied for her looks by an adult yard monitor. I wonder and worry what my daughterâs moment will be, the first moment she realizes her body is on display to the world. More
Professional Weight Watchers spokesperson Jessica Simpson is making the rounds promoting yet another pregnancy — and a “lifestyle” — all in the name of corporate sponsorship. But while the soon-to-be mother of two has taken a lot of flack for her unpregnant, pregnant, and post-baby body, People magazine decided to continue the trend and season their coverage with some completely unsolicited and harmful pregnancy advice. About, what else, but weight loss! More
The other cultural and equally as voyeuristic bookend to the obscene “bump watch” for celebrity ladies is always the first “post-baby” appearance. Well aware of the draw of the “post-baby body,” “post-baby” performances, and generally people who want to gawk at a woman who just had baby, some parlay that “post-baby” capital into film promotions. Or they can be like Adele, and just happen to be nominated for a Golden Globe after birthing a kid. More
Watch out there, Weight Watchers. The almighty What To Expect When You’re Expecting brand might be battling you for some of that baby weight clientele.

Like all the other evil ploys out there that manipulate womenâs body image — the “post-baby body,” “pre-baby body” stigmata is dangerous and cruel. The worst thing is it is something that we allow ourselves to buy into because it is such a widespread idea. The impression that you canât bounce back easily from giving birth is what everyone wants you to believe. The worst part is, this is what we as women tell each other, like a campfire horror story.

I recently spent some time in Mexico on vacation. While vacationing, itâs kind of hard for people not to want to take pictures of you. Since weâre mostly on the beach, these photos usually include photos of me in bathing suits. They were pictures of me in a bathing suit a mere six months after giving birth. Then I went and shared them on Facebook. More
Like every year before it, 2012 presented plenty of opportunities for parents to disagree and debate. Maybe it’s the politics of an election year, but we seemed particularly inclined to argue over even the most basic parenting principles. Without further ado, Mommyish would like to present the most compelling, overwhelming, and divisive controversies of the year. More
