So Victoria Beckham is pregnant again (allegedly)

[treacletart]

here , official anouncement later today it says.

but it is possible for underweight women to struggle to conceive isn't it?

my friend was told so last night by a consultant - she's been advised to try to gain at least a stone as she may not be ovulating.

Wow, hasnt medicine moved on so much so that you can "diagnose" someone, just by looking....

FFS!

If malnutrition and weight were such a huge issue with conception, then the developing world wouldnt be 'developing' at the rate it is, shall we say?

What a ridiculous (and ill-informed) stance!

kittywits - NO, I am certainly not a VB fan but I don't like comments like "she is too thin to concieve". It's just ridiculous. It is your medical opinion then?

Indeed VVV, indeed.
How the hell can you decide on someones fertility by looking at some tabloid pics of her. nonsense.

ST G, ignore it. Some people just don't think.

I think there is a big difference between someone who is naturally thin and some one who diets to make themselves under weight.

she did say once she had PCOS which would impede fertility, although she seems to have been very "fortunate conceiving her 3 boys considering
FWIW I do not think she is anorexic, body dysmorphic maybe.
I say this as a former sufferer of a severe eating disorder.
Now Nicole Richie, she looks very poorly and unhealthy but VB looks extremely slender but relatively healthy, skin/eye/hair wise...

Yes its possible but not always the case. As a size 6 (naturally and eating like a horse) when trying to concieve dd1 I was told to try to gain weight but my tubes were buggered and so weight was not the issue really. I am now pg with number 5!!!!! When not pg I weigh 8.5 stone at the most and 8 at the least which although not stick thin it is very slim. I really think 5 kids and a text book pg with dd1 and a set of twins shows that weight is not always an issue.

oh and pregnancy is categorically denied by her PR as well

she certainly looked a lot nicer when she wasn't so thin. and she used to smile a bit more i think too.

well said magnolia

posh nearly smiling

For those who say I am wrong, that too is ridiculous. You know no more than me
All you have to go on is received wisdom and your own opinions. To me she is very thin.
My fighting weight is 7 1/2 stone when not preg and I am on baby no. 6 and conceive very easily. My weight is obviously NOT too low. In my opinion as a small framed woman she is very under weight and does not look well atall. She is not naturally tiny, we know that from her spice girl days.
She has got thinner and thinner and thinner through not eating. I draw that conclusion because that is normally how people get thinner: Energy output is greater than calorific intake. That is how I have always understood it too be. Unless of course she has a wasting disease that no one has yet mentioned.

It is very hard to say how unhealthy she looks because she is so heavily done up, fake tans, loads of make up sunglasses. it woild be a different matter were she stripped of all that.

and dont forget,fake boobs...

she is obviously not too thin to conceive as she has three gorgeous boys already. there are definately some very jealous people on MN!

Peridot, she wasn't as thin then as she is now!!!!!

this thread was very funny til you guys all started getting cross about it! There is a promotional photo for their perfume and in it vb's bum has been enhanced and it shows that she would look fantastic with a voluptuous bum. also when she has more weight on, her face is much prettier. so lets all get fatter!

VB has always struck me as OK when interviewed, She always seems to be able to laugh at herself, which I like in any person.

I just wish she'd lose the 'pouty face.' She looks lovely when she smiles. I also liked the 'squiffy' pictures of her after her night out recently. She is, after all, a Norf Laaarndan girl (Hertfordshire is just N. London with swimming pools, after all)

Toffs Oak, actually. What do you think of HMMcC's interviews?

Rosy, some people find the kind of comments here quite offensive, for good reason.

I couldn't even watch the programme the other night, VVV. I find her gurning face and voice too much.

What interviews? What did she have to say for herself?

I saw one interview with VB once, just after her first baby was born, she came across as a rather nice person, in contrast to the interviewer who was a total airhead. Think I must have been breastfeeding and stuck on the sofa, to have sat through his rantings.

I think she'd look better a bit fatter too, but its only her own business after all!

Er...there wasn't one...i was hoping to provoke a reaction

But what is the point of getting stroppy about such a lightweight subject? Unless you are vb of course!

Well yes, of course, "skinny" people are much more difficult to offend than fat people. [confused emoticon]

wot? did I say that? [even more confused confused]
