I also don't see how relevant it is for a woman if the children were adopted or conceived through surrogacy, but in an average situation, I think it must have some sort of physical impact - pregnancy I mean. Not to the average Mary who is a gym rat, but for a professional athlete? Maybe I am wrong though.


Not following you, sorry. I guess you could say being pregnant may interrupt a training regimen, but even then, I don't see how that's any different from any athlete coming back from injury.


Well if someone comes back from an injury, they mention that too.

My two darling kids ruined my body. My 6'3 husband's figure never changed.

Signed,

A 5'2 mom.

I sure have had enough of that Pikus-Pace chick from Utah. They kept showing the same crowd of 40 people in the stands and telling us what a great family she had. Way too much dreck. Starting to hate this coverage.

Because women actually "have" children, while men "sire" them. Simple as that.

Prison is the worst place for a pregnant woman to be in
Men are just not affected the same way. They do not have to give birth shackled


Please don't drudge this up.

I see your point, but Kelly is not pregnant.
