Gisele Bundchen, 29, gave birth to her son Benjamin just 8 weeks ago (dad is football hunk Tom Brady), yet she's already back at work posing at photoshoots. Sigh.
The supermodel says she never wore maternity clothes. "I put on a little weight [throughout my pregnancy], but kept using almost the same clothes, with small adjustments on the stomach," she says. “I kept myself in good shape during the whole pregnancy, eating healthily, meditating, and doing exercises."
Small adjustments on the stomach?! In order to keep myself sane, I have to believe that this is all genetics. I exercised when I was pregnant and I gained 55 pounds. I was so big, I couldn't find maternity clothes that fit.
Many, many months after I gave birth, I tried on my maternity pants and about eight other people could have joined me in there, which would be fine if I were the Octomom—but I'm not.
Yes, I lost the weight, but still ... How can you not need maternity clothes when you're pregnant? I guess that's why she's a super model.
Are you wearing maternity— or bigger sized—clothes now?

With my daughter, I gained over 50 pounds by the time she was born, but the only things that I couldn't wear were short shirts (my belly was big!) and I couldn't button or zip pants (my hips went even wider once I got pregnant!). I'm now 31 weeks pregnant, have only gained about 28 pounds so far, but still the same way I was with my daughter - no pants or skirts or shorts fit unless they have an elastic waist (yoga pants are my best friend right now, lol!) and most of my shirts don't cover my big belly again, so pretty soon I will either be stuck wearing DH's tshirts (like I did in the last couple months of my first pregnancy) or have to spend too much $$ on maternity (or just large size) shirts that I'll only wear for a couple of months! I bought one maternity dress with Christmas money.
I never needed maternity clothes, i gained very little weight (not on purpose) and excercised during both pregnancies. My belly never was huge, i didnt show before 20 weeks at all and really never looked more than 4 months pregnant. Its genetics, i am not a skinny woman like her but i am tall and have a long torso.
i am still wearing my normal pants and some of my normal shirts, =-) but i do wear some maternity shirts and pants when i go to church, or a friends house, =-/
she is very lucky,lol
