Jennifer Lopez Upset About Pregnancy Weight Gain
December 20th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Pregnant Celebrities, Jennifer Lopez, Celebrity Baby Weight.
We probably won’t be seeing much of Jennifer Lopez until after she gives birth. According to one source, Jennifer is “freaking out” over her pregnancy weight gain and is planning to go into seclusion for the final months.
“Jennifer is delighted to finally be pregnant. However, she has already put on more than three stones and is only around four months gone. She is huge and freaking out,” a source was quoted by dailysnack.com.
“Her face has become really puffy from retaining a lot of water. She plans to do a Victoria Beckham now and hibernate for the last few months. You won’t be seeing much of her in public from now on,” the source says.
For those of you who don’t know, three stones is equivalent to 42 pounds…
It will be interesting to see how fast Jennifer loses the baby weight after giving birth. Will she be one of the ones who lose it so fast we barely see it at all, or will she be like Britney and not ever take off the extra few she gained? What do YOU all think?
First!
Woo. I think she’ll go to extremes to lose all the weight, but might retain some in her booty.
She’ll probably keep some on, she was never really stick-thin to begin with. Is she having twins ’cause she kinda looks big in the belly for being only 4 months pregnant? Maybe it’s just the extra weight.
even if she is having twins, 42 lbs seems a bit much for only four months along…
doesn’t look as if she’s gained 42lbs though…
42 in 4 months is a huge amount.. pregnant women of normal weight to begin with are only supposed to gain 25-35 pounds over the course of 9 months. i thought J.Lo was a bit further along than 4 months though…i could be wrong. she also looks like one of those pregnant people who gain weight all over. you can totally tell in her arms and face!
Freaking out over weight gain from pregnancy??? Give me a F***ing break! That is the most selfish thing I ever heard.It’s one of the most beautiful times in a womans life carrying her child. She should be proud and happy. The weight will come off for God’s sake!
She’s BIG for 4 monthes, BUT I think she looks beautiful and I’m in love w/that dress!!!!!
Now her a*s will have at last an orbit for itself
She’s not 4 months, along, she’s 6 months along - a pregnancy is actually closer to 10 months than 9, so I think the excerpt was saying that she was 4 months gone from her due date - meaning she’s 6 months. It’s been widely reported that she’s 6 months, anyhow.
42 lbs. is probably more than a woman would desire, but it’s also not that big a deal. In the big picture, she’s finally going to be a mother, and that’s such a blessing. She’ll lose the baby weight, it just may not fall off her like it does Brooke Burke. I hate how society has gone from one extreme to the other: years ago, women were expected to be frumpy and ugly while pregnant. Then, suddenly, pregnancy became somewhat more glamorous. Now women are expected to put on 10 lbs. of water weight and be back in a size 0 when their tot is only a month old.
As women, I hope none off us will aid in encouraging this ridiculous societal expectation.
Vanity, table for three.
What a joke. She hasn’t been a sex symbol for years. Put down the fajita and try to enjoy your pregnancy.
Seeing that her ass could suffocate a small village, I’d hate to be those two babies when she exacts her revenge on them for ruining her figure.
that is kind of a lot. but I am sure that she will lose it. She is a dancer, after all.
I agree with Beck, she’s definitely more than 4 months along. Yes, 42 pounds seems like a lot, but many people(like Kate Hudson for example) gained over 70 pounds with their pregnancies.
I think J-Lo will have a difficult time getting all the weight off. She’s not thin to begin with, and she’s older than most celebs that have babies and seem to lose all the weight in a quick matter of weeks.
It’ll be hard, but I can see her losing the weight pretty quickly. She’s spent too much of her career in the spotlight over weight to not do it. Plus I can’t see her accepting anything less than fabulousness in herself.
I bet she loses it mod-slow since she has a slight tendency to struggle with her weight. Depends on your natural pre-preg weight, IMO. After 2 misses, 5th month each, I had 4 kids in 5.5 yrs (nursed each for 1.5 yrs). With my first, the doctor told me to eat up. I went from my normal 97lbs to 144(not a typo)lbs. After his birth, I had my 6 week exam & was 96 lbs w/o a struggle. Same for each & I ‘m still 97 lbs at 5′2″ with small bones & eating 3 meals/2 snacks a day.
If a pre-preg woman has to struggle to keep trim, post-preg can be a slow-bitch. I hope she loses at her NATURAL body’s pace, especially if she’s nursing-she needs those extra calories. There’s plenty of time later to lose! She’ll always be beautiful!
She’s big, but it doesn’t shock me that she would get big.
She should not be concerned though. This is a woman in total control of her shape. Have you seen the Flashdance video?? I know I bring that up every time there is a post about her, but MY GOD!!
I’ve seen other photos-her face IS getting puffier, but hey that’s normal. She just has to wait it out and focus on her baby.
It’s not all about her anymore. (That’ll be a shock once she gives birth)
Jennifer seems really vain, so I figure she’ll be the type to hit the gym hard after the baby is born. Who knows- she may even get some surgical intervention…
the latest rumor is that it’s twins - maybe speculation because she has gained 42 pounds? - which is a respectable gain - i hope this story is not true because it is really sad and pathetic if she spends the first months of her child’s life preoccupied with losing weight instead of being with baby and introducing baby to the world
Holy cow!!! I’m 5 months along and gained 17 pounds and I’ve been thinking that was a lot of weight. 42 pounds?? Even with twins you’re only supposed to gain 10-15 pounds more…
And I so think she’s having twins. That’s some belly for 4 months and one baby.
I think J-Lo is a very hard-working person (movies, music, touring, ads, clothing line, etc.), so I’ll bet she gets in whatever shape she wants to be in after the baby is (or babies are) born.
It’ll be VERY hard for her to lose it. Her body was never meant to be tiny…I mean look at it. She’s always looked great, but she’s just not a tiny person.
I don’t care about her body weight- but her face looks terrible. Her nose spread and she does not look very pretty now. Aguilera has the same issue- I don’t think wither of them look good pregnant.
jeez i wonder wot she’s been eatin 2 gain all that weight
Haha, is she having a contest with Milla Jovovich? Btw, are there any recent photos of her (Jovovich, that is)? I wonder if any of her weight has come off. Another thing is that JLo is like Beyonce - she has to work her ASS off to squeeze into a US size 6. Now that she’s pregnant she’s simply not living off leaves and lucozade anymore. I think she’ll be back in shape about a month after giving birth.
Alice, X17online just posted pics of Milla 2 days ago(you’ll have to scroll back to page 4 because of all the Jamie Lynn coverage)…I think she looks terrific!
I think that maintaining weight has always been an effort for her, so I think the weight loss will definitely be work. She’s pretty disciplined so it’ll just depend on how much effort she puts into it after the babes are born. But I don’t think it’ll just drop off like it does for some women.
Seriously do new mothers actually stress about
losing the baby weight? I don’t have kids but i feel like if I had a healthy baby or in her case babies I would be so happy and so busy taking care of them I probably wouldn’t obesess about my weight right away. If she actually takes care of the kids instead of letting the nanny do so she wont have alot of time for vanity. I know her appearance is part of her career but geez
And from other articles it seems as if Jlo has wanted to be a mother for a some time now and maybe had some difficulty getting pregnant. She should just be happy to be expecting and try to stay healthy not being conerned so much about looks.
She is having twins. She looks great.
Are you freakin kidding me? She’s freaking out because she’s gaining weight, despite the fact she’s about to have twins? How can you be thrilled to be pregnant yet ‘freaked out’ by the weight gain? Pff. Whatever.
I used to like her, but have just been over her ever since she quit smiling for the camera and does that stupid pouting face thing that only looks good on underage club kids… not pregnant thirtysomething women.
(Just to clarify, this seems to be the one picture where she is not doing the annoying face on the red carpet, look at her archives on here to see what I am talking about)
She looks great. With the help of others she WILL lose the weight and be gorgeous all over again. She’s a strong woman with willpower.
Up to 25 lbs for a pregnancy is ok. When it goes beyond it, it’s because pregnancy is used as an excuse to eat everything under the soon (see Milla Jovovich).
She’ll always be fat and ugly. Her butt is going to get huger.
JLO look FABULOUS - glowing and gorgeous and healthy. She knows how to get in shape from her post Fly-Girl days. I hope she enjoys her pregnancy and when its right, get back into shape.
She’s got a very pretty face, and can always get herself back into shape, she certainly has the budget. It does look like she’s gaining a bit much, so maybe she needs to consult a nutritionist about how to best feed herself during her pregnancy. ValarieSara, sounds like we have similar body types! I’m a whole inch taller than you are - lol. Yeah, 97,96lbs. you are a real fattie - HAHA!!!! We could both get blown into Newbury St. traffic if the wind blows too hard!!!!
Well, say what you want, but as a woman who is currently trying her best to conceive, I would give my pinky toes to be in J Lo’s shoes right now (umm…but with my own hubby, not Marc Anthony). Weight gain is part of pregnancy. I guarantee you that if we had some idea of what Eve looked like post-baby, she had stretch marks, cellulite, and all that good stuff. It’s part of life. I think once you become a mom, you’re entire perspective on what is truly important changes - the baby (or perhaps in J Lo’s case, the babies) matters. The weight? Not so much. She’ll get it off, and even if she doesn’t, SO WHAT?
Big white ruched dresses make even size 00 skellies look fat, so why she wears one… meh, I give up on these divas, if I can dress to hide my flab I have no idea why that basic female skill escapes these people!
This is a pathetic excuse to stay off the limelight. Her latest album was a flop and that’s why she won’t be seen in public as often as she used to be.
Do you really believe that she has gained almost 50 pounds?! Those UK tabloids like to fabricate stories. I have seen her photos and she looks almost the same except for her inflated belly. Her face looks a little puffy but that’s it.
Also, I don’t think Britney has kept much “extra weight” either.
I gained 70 lbs during my pregnancy…and I can tell you I ate up, savored, and earned every one of those lbs. No offense for those who gain a lot of weight…but I guarantee you J-Lo is eating like there’s no tomorrow. I did. Fortunately, I lost all my weight in a year. Hopefully she will too.
I’m pretty sure she’s have no problem loosing the weight, I do understand her feeling huge. I’m 6 months and a half, and I’ve gain 23 pounds and sometimes feel huge. But than I relize that is mostly fluids and the baby, so I get over it.
And well if she’s having twins, than of ocurse she’ll gain more weight.
Rosana you’re very WRONG. When a woman gets pregnant, if she was Underweight she can gain up to 50pnds, if she was regular standars she can gain up to 35-40pnds, and if she was over weright is most . likelly to gain 25pnds MAX. Soooooooo if they go beyond 25pnds, there’s nothing wrong with it. Get your Facts Straight.
Put down the fajita?????????? fajitas are mexican and JLo is portorican.
Being Jlo latin I am not sure that she will lose all baby fat so easily, I would like to see some actual photos of Salma Hayek to see if she already lost all extra weight.
Being such a “diva” she’s gonna be pissed that the baby is making her fat, she’ll probably get jealous of it or to anger peta dress it in the fur of some poor little critter.
she is only 4 months pregnant?????? WTF?
I’d go into seclusion, too.
what a vain bitch. all these women in the world trying futily to conceive and this aging “pop star” is worried about her image. what a vain bitch!
For twins you gain more. She has the money for a trainer afterwards so she needs to just get over it and gain to have healthy babies.
… and 42 lbs is about 19 kilograms!
I don’t think that the media has gone overboard in their guessing, it’s definitely normal if she’s carrying twins.
She has been very disciplined about exercise in the past and seemed to look great. My guess is that she’ll take off all the weight after her pregnancy and do it fairly quickly, i.e. in a few months.
I hope she just keeps on gaining. I would LOVE to see her nice and big and fattened up!! At least to when she was in Selena. Her bum was sooooo big and round and sexy and she started losing all that nice, lovely weight to what she was before she got preggers. Oh well. I just hope her rear end stays nice and plump!!
you are so harsh in judging their weight. britney is thin and has lost her weight. give her a break! they have enough money to regain their bodies back.
your opinion about star’s weight gain is over the top and exaggerated, i think. in reality women gain the same if not more. it’s not like we’re all so fit and thin. it’s alright. moaning about too thin..too fat,
Not every woman is happy with the weight she puts on during pregnancy. This has nothing to do with being selfish, you can actually harm yourself and the baby if you put on too much weight during your pregnancy.
J-Lo looks like she’s got lots of water retention which is also something to be worried about. Especially when you are only four or five months into your pregnancy.
42 pounds? ho please paparazzis c’mon do whatever you have to do but take pictures. TAKE PICTURES OF JLO. 42 pounds is huge and yes she should freak out.
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well.
