I really hate to be negative about what should be someone else's joy - but I feel as though I must. The Metro reported on Friday that those Yummy Mummy's (commonly known as MILFS) babies could be at risk, saying that "Women should try to keep a healthy weight before, during and after pregnancy, to give their child the best start in life." Therefore, when the rumours about Nicole Richie's pregnancy were confirmed, I was a bit mortified.
I'm really not just trying to be a bitch, rain on her parade, and call her anorexic because she's thin. However, it's been a well known fact that she's dropped freakish amounts of weight over the past few years. Granted, she may not look like a complete skeleton anymore, but I wouldn't exactly look at her and go,"Yup! She looks healthy!" And especially not healthy enough to support another life with her body. I'm actually quite scared for her.
Now, aside from her weight problems, there's also the fact that she's going to jail for driving under the influence, as well as having a long history with drug abuse. I'm just really, really concerned. With moms like Britney Spears, Katie Price, and Kate Moss running around- I really wonder about the well being of their children. The body image issues, the self worth issues, and the over all surreal life style these children will grow up in, is quite disturbing. Let's just hope they get a lot of help, and the guidance they need to not royally F-up their kids.
