Rebecca Romijn feels like a beached whale
Martha tells us that some women, like Grey's Anantomy star Katherine Heigl, consider not having babies because they don't want to gain weight. Not the case for others, like Ugly Betty mom-to-be Rebecca Romijn who has taken the plunge -- two baby girls are on the way -- and has, yes, definitely gained some weight and is feeling, well, something like a beached whale.Says Rebecca for Page Six magazine (online this Monday): "I can't move anymore... I'm a beached whale! I have not been without a bra this entire pregnancy. I refuse. I'm not taking any chances. I'm determined to keep the puppies up!"
Weight gain is hard -- even if it for a blessed occasion like birthing a baby. But you know what? It's so worth it, especially when the weight melts away (it's possible with the right amount of diet and exercise, you know?) and the babies stick around for the long and happy haul. I think Rebecca will agree -- and for some reason, I get the feeling she'll whip that body (which doesn't happen to look much like a whale to me) right back into shape, just like these celebrities did.

Shemust be an air head that she was not aware that her body would change if she got pregnant. Wait until after she delivers and finds out that her measurements are different as well. On the other hand, to me, all pregnant women are beautiful. Too bad that so many in society think that thin is where beauty is...

I get so tired of these model/actress’s types complaining that they feel so fat during a couple months of their pregnancies. None of them have a clue what overweight people in this world have to deal with. Don’t worry dear, in a couple months you’ll be back to your anorexic old self.

Oh please, she should not drive herself crazy. I gained a ton when I was pregnant, but worked hard to take it off after. No need to eat like an absolute pig when you are pregnant, but you are giving life, relax a little and realize that you are not going to be skinny for a bit.
I am vain so I love to stay fit and look as young as I can. I drink tons of water wear sunblock (the cvs brand is great) and wear smartsole anti-cellulite insoles that cause you to burn more calories with every step. I bought them at http://www.smartsole.com and used the coupon code that I read about on the Oprah site (great for tips!) HAPPY10 and got 10% off The insoles are comfortable and like the MBT trainers that are way too pricey and not practical

I personally think she looks beautiful and being pregnant with twins is a double blessing!!! All I have to say to Rebecca and her hubby is CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming exciting event of two beautiful babies who will be as gorgeous as their Mommy! Happy times are ahead for you so keep that camera handy there will be lot's of Kodak moments!!!
My daughter just had a baby in August and I was a bundle of nerves during her pregnancy. He was born with the cord wrapped around his neck a couple of times and an emergency C-Section because of it but he's healthy and is a real cutie! I love going over to see him and play with him. This is my sixth Grandchild so I'm one blessed Grandmother and enjoying every minute and every year!!!

I am sure that she will take the weight off very quickly after the birth, don't most of the Hollywood celebs? Weight is actually very easy to lose. I know, I lost 47 pounds in 6 weeks using the Rapidthin diet at www.rapidthin.com. Good luck to all. Use what works for you.

she will get a personal trainer and lose it... real people who had dificult pregnaicies and gained so much weight didn't loose it couldn't go out with the kids ...
For twins she looks good she might have one of those bodies that just snaps back ...
So give me a breake....
I had to come to terms with the fact my body will never be the way it was as a teen before i had my boys...No one explained how much body changes and it was as if someone stole mine replaced it with a different one I just had a hard time intiacally but now I am at a point where I know that even if I go and work out I don't think it will be the 120 that I was at nineteen...
forget anorexia at 118 I almost died back in high school not eating smoking and such... when Karen Carpenter did I did start to eat again .... lesson learned ... getting skinny just to impress the guys wrong but it was a size 0 world back then in high school and I wore a size 9 ... at 118 I measured 36 24 36 like linda Carter but it was not a healthy weight for my frame... I settled for 120-125 and maintained it through college got married had kids and well I am a plus sized woman who would settle to be a size 16 again... or even a size 12...
