I’m sure by now you’ve all seen or heard about Jennifer Lopez’s article in People magazine where she plainly denies using anything beyond good ole fashioned will power and desire to pop out her twins even though there have been rumours, reports, previous articles, photos even, pointing to other conclusions.

Melissa sums it up so nicely in a recent post for BlogHer:

I loved this post. Loved it. Zuzu nails it when she says:
God forbid a pregnant woman enjoy an adult pleasure every now and again without someone trying to shame her into giving them all up in the name of the holy baby.
