God gave us a life and we should realize that is a gift not a right. Living your life is one thing; giving birth to a life is another. Pregnancy is a miracle from God. After seeing your ultrasound, you would feel different and we should all be thankful for it. It is the fruit of love. But sometimes, being pregnant and having babies is not the only thing we can get. Sometimes, we even get something extra like a gift of being prettier after giving birth.

Here are some proofs that they are prettier after giving birth. These are celebrity proofs, mind you.

While enjoying the duties of parenting, Jennifer Lopez admitted that she gained around 45 to 50 pounds but, it was a manageable weight gain since she gave out twins. Her face became slimmer and she looked prettier after her pregnancy.

I cannot forget what I read in an interview with her. She said that, even though she accomplished a lot of things already, she had never been more appreciative of what a female’s body is capable of doing. Despite not changing much, her image did change after giving birth to her Max. Her Max must have brought the change since she also said that, her Max made her happy.

In her post pregnancy debut, Nicole Ritchie already flaunted her figure by wearing a tight LBD. She was just confident to show her healthy slim figure! But I guess I have to second her opinion. She does look much better after pregnancy!

So you see, it doesn’t mean that the notion, you get uglier after giving birth is right. These are just some proofs that, not all people are the same. Can you flaunt your body in post pregnancy stage?

It is general notion that men usually kee things to themselves and just let things pass without hinting a word, that they avoid confrontations as much as possible. These things are actually good for us, in a dominating sense, but hey, for my part, I would like a little voicing out. It’s pretty scary to see someone so silent and meek to just burst out in anger and lose control.

Think it will be fair ro air their sides for once. Here are a couple of things men want to say but out of a number of reasons that they themselves only know, can’t let us know.

1. Chivalry’s still alive and kicking. Loads of men still would want to open the doors for us and pay for dinner or even pour wine for us. So, let them do these things if they want to, as long as we can feel that they do it wholeheartedly.

2. Majority of men get annoyed when we answer our phones during a date, except when it’s an emergency and it still bugs them what situations qualifies for us women as emergencies.

3. Men would really appreciate if we would be more open in learning what they like to do. Like watch baseball games or playing poker with them. For my part, I want to learn to play poker,really.

4. Our words are everything to them. So they take whatever we say, if we say we’re ok, they’ll believe that, even though ok is our metaphor for there’s something wrong and we need to talk. Men are pretty straight-forward so a little degree of directness from us women won’t hurt as well.

5. Like us women, they also need to bond with their friends without us barging in and looking devastatingly beautiful. So, let’s give them the time once in a while.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on guys or know how to size them up perfectly. But these are just from what I gathered from a couple of guy friends I have. And we have a lot to be thankful to God when he created men even how independent we are. I think it applies to all. Women also expect the above from men but the difference is that we say it out loud. What’s important is that we compromise and give each other a little bit of freedom.
