Gisele Bundchen Has an Obnoxiously Rockin' Post Baby Body
Sure, Gisele Bundchen is a super model and super models are supposed to look fantastic. But someone please tell me that I'm not the only one looking at the new pictures of Gisele posing in the Calzedonia catalog, and gnashing their teeth with envy.
Gisele Bundchen gave birth to her son, Benjamin, in December. These images were shot in February. Gag.
Shortly after Gisele gave birth to Benjamin, she famously peeved women off everywhere by stating that some women: "get pregnant and decide they
can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I
gained only 30 pounds."
I won't bother telling you how much I gained, but it is probably close to what Gisele weighs right now.
Gisele also stated that her water birth was pain free.
"[Childbirth] wasn't painful, not even a little bit. The whole time, my head was so focused – every contraction, the baby is closer, the baby is closer. So, it wasn't like, 'Oh, what pain.' It was, 'With every contraction, he is getting closer to me.' "
Which is...good, right? It's good that she had a natural childbirth and yada yada yada, she still sounds so sanctimonious to me that I get extra irked that she has such an awesome body too.
No fair.

The only thing that takes my jealousy away is thinking about something Heidi Klum said before... what was your body like BEFORE you had the baby?
For most of us we had jiggly bits and roundy bits even before we had a baby so we shouldn't compare our thighs and tummy to the sexy Gisele. She was pretty fantastic before she had her Benjamin!

I love the part about how great her water borth was. Bitch please. You can be thrilled your baby is almost out and still be in mortifying, torture-esque, blood boiling pain. No water birth is going to ease that hell. If I see her ever I plan on choking her out.

And it kind of looks like she has been airbrushed to within an inch of her life.
Mama in the City has a good point - very few of us were supermodels before. I know I wasn't. Plus our livelihoods aren't at stake if we don't look like that after a baby.

What a bitch.
*And yes, I say that out of complete jealousy.

Not jealous. Photoshop can do wonders. I'm not saying she wasn't or isn't hot, but getting jealous of a doctored photo isn't worth my time.

That second photo is definitely doctored - you can see the airbrush lines on it practically. I get it I'm not perfect though and I don't plan on being. I think the real question is "does she look healthy?" and for that - I'd definitely say no way.
Ick.
I'll be jealous when she looks human and not photoshopped and skinnier than my floor lamp.

And the whole 'water birth is painless/just focused blah blah blah'. My ass it was painless. Sounds kind of masochistic to me though you would have to be to be married to Tom Brady. Methinks she is angling for some sort of medal or ribbon for 'Extreme Valor in the Face of the Most Undignified Position You Will Ever Find Yourself In'.

Whoa she sounds like a bitch. Sounds like the kind of mother that will be always be comparing her baby to others and always seem to come out on top. Poor baby.

I hate her and believe she's secretly a robot.

I hate her but not because of her body but because what comes out of her mouth.

Gisele makes me stabby.

Good for her. Personally I'd rather have a job that still allows me to eat whipped cream off the spoon, like I did this afternoon while cooking with my kids.

I loved her more back when they didn't allow her to speak.
But on the other hand, most women I know who've had natural childbirth will bore one for hours about how great it felt and how it didn't "really" hurt that much. So I can't get extra-irritated with her when my own best friend regularly sounds equally as sanctimonious.

@ Suzy Q - She's a total bitch - but I love her!

I don't mean to call anyone a liar, but...I'm having a really hard time buying that this is the body of someone who gave birth (after gaining 30 lbs) two months prior. Even assuming she lost 4 lbs a week, where did all the skin go? And where did her abs come from? Don't your abs kind of get played out when they're stretched over a beach ball? I ask because I really don't know.
I know a mom-of-three who has a tummy like that, but it's been a year since the last one and she gained no more than 7 lbs for any of them. (When I told her I was pg she assured me "it's a myth that you have to gain more than ten pounds!" - at which point, I was 12 weeks and had already gained 14. Wah.)

I'm with the last poster. I'm sorry, but where are the stretch marks? And yes, your abs are never the same after getting all stretched out holding a baby for 9 months. I'm not sure I believe she had a baby, and if she did, it is SO unhealthy. Is she breastfeeding? because she doesn't have enough body fat to do so. Not healthy for her baby either.
