People magazine point out just how unplanned Jessica Simpson's pregnancy is




Is 7-month-old Maxwell Drew a big sister-to-be?

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson – who welcomed their daughter in May – are expecting another child, according to reports widely circulating online.

When asked about the latest baby buzz, Simpson's publicist told PEOPLE, "I'm not going to comment on this speculation."

The star and Weight Watchers spokeswoman, 32, (who showed off her 60-pound weight loss this month) called Maxwell's birth "the greatest experience of our lives."

In May, she told PEOPLE, "I don't want to have another baby right away but I do want to have more kids. Having babies back to back has to be so hard."

Having baby No. 2 is all about timing, she added during the interview about becoming a mom.

"I really want to give Maxwell all of the attention and all of the love and time that I possibly can give her," she said. "When I feel like it's the right time to bring another little one into the family, I will. I won't wait too long but I won't do it immediately."

Simpson and former NFL player Johnson, 32, started dating in May 2010 and were engaged six months later.

Tweeted Simpson this month: "I am so grateful for my new lil family! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!"

There is NO reason for any pregnant woman to gain that much weight. I am a big girl myself, but I ate rationally and gained less than 20 lbs during my pregnancy and had a normal gestation and our baby weighed over 7 lbs. It's really unhealthy to pile on 70 lbs -- and painful, I'm sure! Maybe 30-35 TOPS, but not 70.

Wait 'til the other ontd moms come for you.

Or at least that's the impression I got other times when her pregnancy weight gain was called excessive.

They should check with a healthcare professional. There is no way that much weight gain is anything but bad for the preggo to carry around, pump blood for, etc. Her feet, knees and hips must have been killing her! If you're carrying octuplets *cough*Octomom*cough*, that's different. (And equally risky!)

This ONYD mommy agrees with her. My doctor told me straight up, that the 'eating for two' thing is complete bullshit, and to only add about 400 extra calories a day to my meals. I ended up losing 20lbs my first trimester (I had the weight to lose, trust me) and then only ended up 'gaining' 13lbs total.

Granted, every woman's body is different, just like every pregnancy is different, but I feel that women who gain upwards of 50lb+ are taking the 'eating for two' and running with it.

I remember Jessica admitting she used pregnancy as an excuse to indulge in all the foods she normally denied herself.

I gained 55 pounds with my last baby, and the doctors told me not to worry about the weight gain(because I freaked about it!). I've lost it since then, and that was less than a year ago.

Also, I ate very rationally but I had a high risk pregnancy and took hormones the entire time. My kid was a little over 7 pounds and born at 38 weeks.

Average weight gain is 40lbs for pregnancy should be a pound a week. If you are underweight more, overweight less.

I do however think it's absolute BS that doctor's give you a weight limit and harp on your weight constantly. My friend was 110lbs and she gained 20 and her doctor told her that it was too much weight starting at the halfway point. As long as there are no complications it should be a guideline not something pregnant women leave the office crying over.
