"Scary Spice" Mel B says weird things about pregnancy

Remember Mel B, "Scary Spice", from the Spice Girls? Like her former band mate Victoria Beckham, who just gave birth to her fourth child, Mel B is right in the thick of the childbearing years and is going to give birth to her third baby later this year. Speaking to an Australian audience on the show Kyle and Jackie O, Scary Spice said "pregnancy is not pretty".

Apparently, Mel B thinks that people keep the gory bits of pregnancy a secret and so women go into those nine months of carrying a baby without knowing what to expect. What did Scary Spice actually say? Here goes: "Being pregnant, they forgot to tell you that you can't see your toes, or your lady bits. People forgot to tell you the gory bits. It's not pretty. And I don't think it gets easier, the older you get the more your body gets battered."

Our reply at SteadyHealth is, we don't think anyone forgot about the gory details like vomiting, peeing yourself, and things like that. On the other hand, I don't think pregnancy is particularly ugly at all, unless you have some worrying complications. I personally loved being pregnant. And, for what it's worth, had some of the best sex of my life! Mel B has more to say, including remarks that she, like Victoria Beckham, is likely to pick a "weird" name for her third child. Her first two are called Phoenix Chi and Angel Iris. But the new arrival will be her first child with her current husband, Stephen Belefonte. Who will be a great dad, she thinks. She adds: "My husband likes the breastfeeding part, but he's a pervert." Ahem... Probably not the best comment to make. Breastfeeding has nothing to do with sexuality, and this doesn't do much for women who want to breastfeed in public, does it?
