Shocking. They usually produce such quality journalism...

She's got enough pressure on her as it is!!

Lol at everyone who thinks this. Would love to have that kind of pressure in my life!

It seems that the media idolatory pregnancy ends as soon as the woman's excuse for being 'fat' has gone, they are just disgusting and fat.
They seem to have no concept of a normal birth and postnatal experience. How did they think babies were born when they were sitting outside the hospital for 10 hours while she was giving birth and they were doing 'rolling news?' And now that idiot Kay Burley and that pathetic rag are shocked that she didnt pop back into her size 6 jeans 24 hours after birth! Have they never had babies or seen a pregnant woman?

i don't buy that crap either

yet i'm with op, I think its really sad that its even seen as acceptable

the world certainly has changed

Horrible magazine - someone's buying it though.

"I made a human being fgs -"

Exactly. And the only things of any importance for the first few months should be the mother's and baby's health and wll being. \if the mother does want to lose weight immediately then that's her choice but I hate the fact it is promoted as something to aspire to

I saw this advertised on TV & thought it was appalling but then again I'm fat & lazy & reserving the right to take years rather than weeks to lose my post baby bulge!!! WinkWink

Seriously though it is a shameful feature & when they say a spokesperson or a source close to the duchess & give a quote they are about as close to her as I am!!!

Of course it's awful, more rubbish to make woman feel guilty/failure for not being a permanent toned size 8.

I must confess to being amused by DH saying "She hasn't lost the baby weight yet has she, lazy cow, doesn't she care what the daily mail says."

ZillionChocolate · 24/07/2013 08:45

I wonder her trainer has spoken to them. They might've made it up. In a "sources say" "a friend of the couple says..." Kind of way.

CitrusSunshine · 24/07/2013 10:12

Am surprised that anyone is surprised at this. Don't OK have the same article every week, just changing the name of whatever Zzzzzzzzzzzz list sleb has just given birth?

arabesque · 24/07/2013 10:23

Better get used to it. No doubt if she's seen looking a bit tired or fed up over the next couple of months OK will be discussing her PND. And if she does lose the baby weight very quickly they will be surmising that she's putting her and the baby's health at risk by not eating enough.

manticlimactic · 24/07/2013 13:11

Have they changed the cover in that link? I can't see anything about baby weight (although the link wording does).

TylerHopkins · 24/07/2013 13:15

Why are they referring to them as Kate Middleton and Prince William. Are they unmarried? Hmm

LionMonkey · 24/07/2013 13:25

Yeah they have changed the page.

Here it is from somewhere else:
