Palin a Desperate Housewife?

[ckhagen]

I can't see Sarah's stomach in those pics. But I do know that no one knew my mother was pregnant until her 8th month and she was 5ft tall and 89 pounds.

Exercise, including hiking is definitely encouraged during pregnancy. If you're having a normally progressing pregnancy, with no signs of pre-term labor or high bp, exercise is definitely encouraged. If I would have exercised during my first pregnancy the way I did during my second, I would have been a lot healthier. In fact, I was swimming in the gulf the day before labor started for my second.

Seriously??? Do you really think the weight of the baby has anything to do with the amount of time it takes for labor to run it's course and to push them out? I've dedicated the past 5 years of my life working with pregnant women through various non-profit organizations. I've seen it take 36 hours to push out a 5 pound baby and 90 minutes start to finish on 10lb'ers. And in this case, labor had not even actually started yet.

So either the baby WAS NOT hers and she bent the truth to protect her teenage daughter from embarrasment while making sure that the baby was not aborted OR the baby WAS hers and she's so conscientious about doing a great job as governor that she took a small, calculated risk by flying late in her pregnancy to represent Alaska at the Governor's conference.

Either way sounds like she's a great person.

On another, totally unrelated topic, does anyone know a synonym for DESPERATION?

Say what you want, but who looks more pregnant:

The daughter looks about as pregnant as the teenaged girls I teach. If the size of one's midriff is the determining factor, I'm in my 320-somethingth month.

Here she is at 7 1/2 months hiking the Alaskan wilderness, is that also a recommended activity when pregnant?

I have a friend who ran 10 miles the morning her 4th child was born, and another who ran hills pushing a baby jogger with an 18-month-old aboard until her due date. Doctors generally recommend that you exercise as normal as long as it's comfortable.

In addition to all of this, this was her 4th child and it had a low birth weight from down syndrome. I have a friend who on her 4th child was afraid with her husband that they weren't going to make it from Flamingo Village to FWB and that baby was pretty hefty at 8lbs+.

Um...you're arguing against yourself again, darling. A small baby=a small-looking midsection. Some women have small babies. Some women have huge babies. It's just the way it is.

Why are the republicans blamed for Katrina and the filling of a stadium??? Was that not the mayors last ditch effort to have some place for those who chose not to leave NO prior to the disaster? I am neither Democrat or Republican but it seems to me that the blame game that is constantly going around about Katrina and how it was handled is getting old. Has anyone forgotten that the Govenor of the State of La and the Mayor of NO may have been the first to have mishandled the situation, not G Bush? Move on to something more positive if you expect to get the Independent (Female, Upper Middle Class) Vote!

Ok...you got me. It's really McCain who's desperate. That's why the
Democrats are talking about Sarah Palin's pregnancy?

Even if -- and I mean IF -- this story is true, it is not worth the impact it would have on the mother's credibility to drag a child through the mud this way. Bristol Palin is a child, and does not deserve the trauma -- and true or untrue, this would be traumatic.
