Milla Jovovich has gained 70 pounds while pregnant

[LaSchifosaVita]

She's probably been constantly working out for the Resident Evil movies, too, which seem to be made on a pretty rapid schedule, so she wouldn't have gone for much of a period of time without exercising constantly. I wouldn't really know, but wouldn't that probably have an effect on how much she gains, too?

It's her body and I'm sure if there was a problem her obstetrician would have a concerned word with her.

The only thing I worry about is that is not healthy for the baby to put on too much weight. Recent studies have shown the more weight the mother gains, the more likely that she will get gestational diabetes, and the baby has a much higher chance of obesity and diabetes in later years.

I am preggers now and due around same time as Milla and Love that Milla gained a 70 lbs i am somewhere like 20lbs so far. She looks to be carrying a ton of water weight too- i recently saw some pics where her face was bloated and the feet growing thing happens if you have water weight and too much weight gain. From my understanding 3 sizes is unusual but so is 70 lbs. I think she loooks amazing!

70 lbs my bum biscuits - if you listen to most of her interviews she is a funny self depreciating chicky babe. A throw away line hits the press like a ham again......seriously blerg.

YES! Good, I can give up the fight!!

So?? She's pregnant, she'll lose the weight and the baby'll be fine. I'm sure her doctor is monitoring her weight/health as well as her baby's. Whoopty shit - let her eat her donuts!

Not everyone gets stretch marks.

I just meant that with that rapid of weight gain stretch marks are almost garaunteed...rapid gain or loss results in stretch marks.

I am guessing like most models and actresses she kept her weight artificially low.

Now that she's pregnant and her hormones and growing baby are screaming for lots of calories to use up, her body is overriding what she'd normally choose. Probably no bad thing either.

I knew a girl who was unhealthily vegetarian. Not saying you can't be a healthy veggie, but this girl wasn't. She basically ate rubbish (not worrying about vitamins or iron) and was sure to avoid all meats. She went from being a vegetarian for 15 years to wanting rare steaks during her pregnancy! And no wonder - the docs discovered she was so anaemic she needed a transfusion after the birth to build her up again.

Maybe so, but somehow I (luckily) never got them. My mother didn't either, though she did not gain nearly the weight I did during her pregnancies. Genetics maybe?

The only stretch marks I ever got were in puberty. I had a few on my hips, but they faded over time.

123 pounds at 5'8" is tiny!! She propably was sick of starving and now found the perfect excuse to binge eat - hence the drastic weight gain. You go girl - you still look gorgeous anyway!!

Is she sure there's only one baby in there? Looks like three! Her poor body must be in shock, having been so skinny in the past.
