    So based on this it’s ok to have sexy time on September 27th. As it’s unlikely to have a baby afterwards.

    Or maybe they should be explaining this better.

    I’ve never had a baby, but I saw one born. My sister wanted me in the room, which was the worst/best/worst/best/beautiful thing ever.

    If she had the energy, she should have eaten a burger after that kid cut my sister in half. My take.

  3. I remember vividly immediately after giving birth to my daughter that I was STARVING. Then the nurse came up to me and said “you know when you’re really hungry and there is a big hamburger right in front of you so you open your mouth wide and take a big bite? That’s what baby is going to do to your breast.” I. Was. Devastated. But they did offer me a dry muffin a while later.

  4. If there’s a time a calorie-bomb is justified, it surely is after pushing a smal human out of your own body (likely for hours).

    All I’ve seen is positive feedback from relatively new mothers saying they’d kill for a decent meal after giving birth. NHS slop wasn’t the one at the time!

  6. My wife gave birth last weekend and soon after she ate a bunch of cookies. Absolutely deserved and necessary to get your energy back for the overnight ward stay.

  7. Some women develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy and can’t tolerate eating burgers without their blood sugars going crazy.

    If they want a Burger King after birth, let them eat it!

    Also, some women labour for days! Imagine going 30 hours without food and essentially running a marathon. You are hungry after birth.

    I’m due around Christmas time and have gestational diabetes and I have asked my husband to make sure I get a pizza delivered post birth!

    How to do a really bad job of not even pretending you’re regurgitating a press release.

    I bet the men complaining were silent when the woman’s husband ate all her post-op meals.

    in the picture of me as a newborn with my older sister holding me, there’s literally a burger king cup and wrapper on the table in the background.

    my mum absolutely ravaged her burger king meal after birth. it’s real hungry work.
