Jessica Simpson Talks Second Pregnancy: Eric Johnson "Keeps Knocking Me Up"



Jessica Simpson is just rolling with it. The pregnant-again 32-year-old singer, designer and reality star revealed her expanding baby bump and curves in a tight leopard-print dress during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Tuesday Jan. 15 -- and was typically frank with Leno about dealing with a totally unexpected second pregnancy just six months after the birth of daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson.

One plan that keeps changing? Simpson's intended wedding to her babies' dad, Eric Johnson. "We've had two different wedding dates, but he keeps knocking me up," Simpson joked of the former NFL pro, 33, to whom she has been engaged for over two years.

"We're doing it very backwards, I know... I'll just keep my legs crossed, I guess, this time," cracked the Fashion Star mentor. "Apparently it was a part of God's plan for my life," she continued. When she discovered she was expecting again, "I was extremely shocked," Simpson said. "Because I was going through a lot of hormonal changes, trying to get back to the old, vibrant Jessica. You know, it was kind of like a one-night stand. And it happened, all over again!"


This time around, however, the Weight Watchers spokeswoman is determined to have a decidedly healthier pregnancy. While pregnant with Maxwell, Simpson admitted she gained "a lot more than doctors would recommend."

"I was really happy to be pregnant and I didn't ever step on the scale," admitted the blonde, who eventually lost 50 pounds post-baby via Weight Watchers and a personal trainer. "I didn't realize you could gain that much weight that quickly."

No, it does have to do with breastfeeding. But it is unreliable.

According to La Leche League International, if your infant is younger than 6 months, you're not having menstrual periods, and your baby is breastfeeding day and night without using a pacifier or eating any other food or drinking liquids other than breast milk, your chance of pregnancy is less than 2 percent.

so you are correct in that breastfeeding can affect the period, and can slightly help with not getting pregnant, but are most women really following the above to that degree? doubtful. and it comes down to the fact that you can become pregnant again without ever having gotten your period back, since ovulation occurs before-so

Which is almost word for word what I said in a comment above, and the gist of what I said here. It is the breastfeedingthat delays ffertility, not sleep deprivation, etc., but it is not a reliable birth control method.

you replied before i could edit my comment! boo

i was trying to say that i agree with you now. I do also know that in non-pregnant women sleep deprivation, etc. does affect the menstrual cycle, so my thought process is that maybe that also has something to do with it?

i guess all in all what i was trying to say that while it delays/decreases, there at somepoint is always going to be a chance of getting preggars without protection.

sorry if i came off cranky before, this diet AND trying to quit smoking is making me off the wall.
