Ashlee Simpson Pregnancy Weight Gain “Unhealthy”

August 25th, 2008 by Castina

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is looking for inspiration to adopt healthier dieting practices after the pregnant singer was told that she has gained too much weight during a recent prenatal visit.

“Ashlee broke down in tears at a doctor’s appointment in early August when she found out she’s gained more weight than is considered in the healthy range,” a Star source says.

A long-faced Ashlee immediately took a trip to Malibu’s Planet Blue and stocked up on six pairs of size zero jeans to motivate her to curtail her eating:

“She can’t wear them now, but she hopes it will give her the incentive to watch what she eats.”

Ashlee will welcome her first child with husband Pete Wentz in October.

In her defense…I had the same thing happen to me with my 1st child. I was gaining almost 3 pounds a week, the doctors were concerned. So after running many tests come to find out I had gestational diabetes and preelcampsia. I had been weight cautious the whole time an had always been in shape. HOPEFULLY the doctor knows his ass from a hole a in the ground. Thank you.

She was so skinny before pregnancy how can she have gained to much weight? She doesn’t even look very pregnant to me.

These Hollywood tabloids make me sick to my stomach. No wonder why there’s so many actresses that are starving themselves… Because they have to weigh no more than 100 pounds or you’re considered FAT and UNHEALTHY. This is truly sickening!!! If they get too skinny than they are all over the news, if they gain 5 extra pounds they are all over the news. I don’t understand why non of them ever speak up about this. This is too much and is making a lot of healthy normal looking people very unhealthy and very unattractive looking. She’s pregnant for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!

Ashlee looks just fine. So she has to watch and eat a little less, big deal. The way this thing is reported, you’d think she turned into Two-ton Tessie overnight. All she has to do is follow her doctor’s advice. She looks a damn sight healthier than Nicole Richie did when she was preggers with Harlow! Now THAT was scary. And look, even Nicole managed to have a beautiful, healthy baby, God bless her.

oh please. Yeah, she looks really fat and beyond the ‘healthy range’ for her month of pregnancy. Whatever. I’m sure that the mentality of the hollywood docs is the same of those back when our mothers were pg with us. They used to tell women to gain no more than 10-15 lbs. What was the result? A generation of small for gestational age babies. You’ll hear many Mom’s with adult children in their 30’s and 40’s say “you were only 5 lbs.!” That wasn’t necessarily a good thing, as most women back then didn’t eat well (to keep within that 10-15 lb range) and they smoked and drank alcohol. It’s both sick and sad that these actors and musicians are setting these ridiculous standards for normal everyday women. Gaining a wee 20 lbs. and then shedding it all in three weeks time. Reality check, here. Ashley my dear, you look just fine.

she looks fine leave her alone before she starts starving herself and that baby average is 25-35 lbs. I don’t feel she looks like she has passed that at all. I gained 38 lbs with my first and 26 with my second. The whole don’t look like your pregnant hollywood thing has got to go same with the unrealistic how I got my body back in 2 weeks blah blah blah. Be a mom enjoy your life & family and who cares what a whole bunch of people you don’t even know think of you. She is beautiful and before she got pregnant she could have stand to gain a few lbs so Im glad now she may look average & healthy. Congrats on the baby.
