How thin is too thin when you’re pregnant?
That’s the question fans and the press are asking as they look on at Jaime King’s pregnant body.
The 36-year-old celebrity and her husband Kyle Newman, 39, have been down this road before (aka being pregnant) so she knows that being a part of Hollywood usually means #bodyshaming and nit-picking every detail of their lives. Jaime just wasn’t prepared for the backlash she would receive now that she’s a mum-to-be for the second time.
“People have made comments about how I’m too thin and need to eat a sandwich,” Jaime, whose baby is due next month, told American Baby magazine.
“I’ve seen it happen with other pregnant women in this business too – we’re either too thin or put on too much weight. But every woman’s body is different. All that matters is that you’re taking care of the nutrition for yourself and your child.”
Jaime isn't wrong about haters shaming pregnant women who happen to have a star on the Walk of Fame. Hayden Panettiere, Jessica Simpson, Elsa Pataky and Kim Kardashian were all told they were "too fat" while they were expecting. We just haven't seen many cases of a woman shamed for being too thin. Until now.
Kate Middleton's lithe frame was under close scrutiny during both of her pregnancies.
What the body shamers don't seem to understand is that pregnancy comes in all shapes and sizes. What's normal and healthy for one mother just doesn't work for another.
