By Christina Marfice November 27, 2023 Gareth Cattermole/Getty Rectangle After having a baby, the way the world pressures you to “snap back” is enough to make anyone feel insane. And it turns out that literally no one is immune from it — Princess Eugenie, who welcomed her second child earlier this year, just opened up about how pressure to drop her baby weight makes her go “mad.” “I find it really hard to shake baby weight,” Eugenie said during an episode of the “Table Manners” podcast on Wednesday. “I guess society dictates that you have to shake your baby weight and all that stuff.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Table Manners Podcast (@tablemannerspodcast) Eugenie and her husband, Jack Brooksbank, share two sons together: August, whom they welcomed in February of 2021, and Ernest, who made his arrival this past May. But while society may “dictate” that women need to lose their baby weight, it’s time for women to push back against those kinds of expectations. Your body literally created another human life. Having unrealistic expectations about how it should look a certain way on a certain timeline doesn’t make a lot of sense when you consider what it’s accomplished. Later in the conversation, Eugenie also talked about how, months after giving birth, she’s given up dairy and gluten — but not for the purpose of losing weight. “Jack gets really bad migraines, so he’s gluten and dairy free,” she explained. She added that a “gut specialist” recommended the diet to help Brooksbank feel better. “I’m doing it with him.” That’s true love, if you ask us. Eugenie and Brooksbank have been a couple for a long time — they dated for seven years before he popped the question while they were traveling together in Nicaragua in 2018. They got married in October of that year, and now, with their two boys, they’ve settled happily into family life. “I think I’ve got magic children that take after me and Jack,” Eugenie said. “They love sleeping.” Categories: Celebrity News Related articles Celebrity News Suki Waterhouse calls criticism over playing Coachella 6 weeks postpartum ‘an insane thing’ July 3, 2024 Baby Shopping Guide Jessica Biel tells us her 6 motherhood must-haves May 15, 2024 Postpartum Products Supermodel Karlie Kloss shares her 5 motherhood must-haves February 16, 2024 News Tim Tebow and Demi-Leigh expecting their first baby: ‘Over the moon’ with joy” January 14, 2025 News Lea Michele’s breast pump moment proves motherhood never takes a break—even on the red carpet December 13, 2024
