Since we started talking about weight, it seems that, in a way, I’m losing weight, too. Since May 1, I gained exactly one pound. My belly, in the meanwhile, is becoming visibly bigger every day. This can only mean that other parts are getting smaller.
I just have to be weird in absolutely everything.

that your belly is BECOMMING bigger does not necessarily mean that other parts are BECOMMING smaller dear Clarissa.

I’m no expert on these things, but you must be carrying a lot of extra weight in the form of Eric at this point. It makes sense that you’d lose weight on everything else because you’re having to exert yourself more just to do everything you normally do.

Yes! Everything is such an effort. I drop a pen and contemplate it with horror because bending to pick it up is an adventure. I really miss the time when bending, reaching, getting up, etc was so easy that I didn’t notice it.

Children delivered via cesarean birth appear to be more likely to be obese in childhood and adolescence than those born vaginally, according to the results of a study published online on May 14, 2013, in the International Journal of Obesity.

Not in the least because one of the conditions that make cesareans recommended are overly large babies, which, I believe, have a higher than usual chance to become obese.

“The researchers also took into account factors such as birth weight, gender, family sociodemographics, parental body mass, and infant feeding patterns.”

It would be nice if whoever is reporting the story removed the obviously unrelated method of birth from the list. Otherwise the whole thing sounds like voodoo science.

“Infant feeding patterns” is the response that is major here. Everything else is not nearly as important.

– Exactly.

Hmm, after actually reading the thing it seems that cesarean babies were smaller on average than vaginal birth babies. Not sure what happens then.

I’m sure it’s nothing related to the Cesarean. 🙂

Probably, but it switched my opinion from “they’re idiots” to “let’s see what the research actually says when unfiltered through the mushy brains of journalists”.
