my advice is not get induced at all. just let your body go into labor on it’s own. read all you can about vaginal births, there are so many studies available online. don’t let your doctor force you into doing anything you don’t want to do such as induction or c-section. it seems that every celebrity these days are signing up for c-sections that aren’t medically necessary or emergency reasons. GOD did make our bodies able to birth the babies it grows if left alone from doctors and interventions. just look at what mother wolves do…….

So glad someone else felt the same as I did Heather, suprisingly for me my son weighed 10 pounds at birth!!! even though I ate virtually nothing the whole pregnancy. I suppose he took what he needed from my ample body – hahaha. Thats the only reason I wasnt hospitalized with Hyperemesis, I was drinking pints of water a day, and was chubby to start off with, so my OBGYN wasnt worried. Needless to say, my son is 4 and I have not been pregnant again since, too scared of the HG rearing its head again!!

I really like Minnie as an actress and she seems to be an interesting and feisty person. Congratulations to her!

Oh, I couldn’t eat E-G-G-S either! I craved them all the time, though. With grits and OJ. And then I would see them again much sooner than expected. I had all-day sickness, too. Every day. But only with my first. It was nice when I left the hospital. I had completely lost all but 4 pounds of the 26 I put on.

When is the baby due?

Sarah’s note: Late August/early September. There’s a post on a later page where Minnie talks about it to Ellen DeGeneres.

Oh man, I had the SAME problem with eggs! I don’t know what it was, because before pregnancy, I had eggs for breakfast at least 3 times a week.

Love the ‘travel puke receptacle’ story!! Reminds me of myself, except I kept Ziploc freezer bags between the front seats!

Oh I know the feeling Tracy! I had HG and it was horrid, at 2 weeks post partum I was 40lbs lighter then when I got pregnant. I looked good!!lol but my poor baby was born premature and very sick! It was horrible. It doesn’t sound like she is that bad thought, I could barely function.

gosh how i wish i’d had the brains to have a puke container in my car when i was pregnant…hearing Minnie’s comment brought back memories of when i was driving home from work- only a 5 minute drive, tops…i had the queasy feeling come and thought I could make it. No such luck! I can only imagine what that must have looked like to the other drivers passing by….*eek*

Congrats Minnie!!!

But a big pox on Jay for commenting on any woman’s weight gain & then asking her outright if she’s pregnant.. that’s really quite rude of him, IMO.

Haha, I was waiting for the announcement Congrats to her and her baby’s daddy since we don’t have a name for him lol!
