Why do some celebrities gain enormous amounts of weight when pregnant?

Question

I hear of women like Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, Salma Hayak, and Mila Jovovich putting on 60 lbs or more. Aren’t women only supposed to put on 25-35 lbs. That’s how much my mother gained during her pregnancies

Answer 1

every womans different i put 3 stone on with my first child then when i had my daughter two years later i only put 1 stone on ,it depends on how active you , and weather you milk the situation or not , i didn't i just got on with it

Answer 2

some women put on more weight. if they are famous or not. It could be that these celebrity women are eating right and stuff, and the women with less money can't afford to eat the protien rich foods etc that you are reccomended to eat while pregnant. Just a guess. But my mom ( a regular person) gained 50 pounds while pregnant with my brother.

Answer 3

I know normal people who've gained 80 pounds while pregnant. Celebrities don't have a corner on the market of gaining too much during pregnancy.

Personally, I only gained 6 and 9 on my two pregnancies.

Answer 4

It just depends on the person and the changes that the mothers body makes when she's pregnant. My mother when she was pregnant with my older brother only gained 32lbs. Then with me it was 28lbs, but with my younger sister she gained close to 65lbs!! Then with my youngest sister she only gained like 45lbs. So really it just all depends on the certain changes in the mother.

Answer 5

They are human like the rest of us and some people gain a lot of weight when pregnant while others don't.

Answer 6

Who says only celebrities pack it on? My friend gained 60 lbs.

Answer 7

Because celebrities are human. All types of women put on a lot of weight, no matter what their job is.

Answer 8

They can afford to buy costly speciality foods and lay around. Many have cooks that can supply whatever they "think" they want anytime of the day. And I assume many do not exercise. :o)

Did you know that a food craving only lasts for about 15 minutes in our brains?

Answer 9

Maybe because until now, they were so strict on their diets that when the pregnancy came, they just let themselves go with the flow, both for the baby and for their own sakes. "Once in a lifetime," you know.

Answer 10

celebritites ometimes get careless they thiunk they can eat anything and then they r just gonna lose all the weight but it doesn't happen so after the baby is born they start 2 starve themselves
