CHILDBIRTH ISN'T THE MIRACLE - SURVIVING PARENTHOOD IS

Mothers I'd Like to Punch (MILPs)

Oh celebrity mums. How they like to shove their teeny tiny baby bumps in our faces. How they love to show off the post baby body twenty seconds after giving birth. How they adore writing their parenting manuals, designing the babywear collections and declaring they do it all with no help whatsobloodyever.
It would be so refreshing to see a celeb saying it AS IT REALLY IS. Who admits to relying on a nanny, who struggles with losing the extra weight, who just looks fecking KNACKERED.
The lovely @midwifetomum and I have put together the following list of MILPs:

KATONA
VAN OUTEN
KLASS
THORNTON
BECKHAM
PALTROW
PRICE
HOLDEN
WILLOUGHBY
LLOYD
GIGGS
CAREY
SPEARS

And to make love, not war - here are some MILFs:
STEFANI
RINGWALD
SYKES
CRUZ
AGUILERA

Please feel free to comment and add to the list.

    Great list!An addition would be can't think of her name-she's a model and Mrs. Orlando Bloom. For reason no 1, doing an underwear shoot about 5 seconds after giving birth, but mainly for going on about how the birth was a 'truly beautiful experience with no pain'. All I can say to that is-the drugs must have been awesome!

      Miranda Kerr!
      She posted a pic of her breastfeeding which was great to promote that, but she also promoted makeup, hair and clothes styling at the same time. Oh and a professional photographer with very nice lighting.

    Mel B = MILP. No further explanation required.

    Only adding this coz Claire told me to & I'm a bit scared of her.

    And I don't know what a MILTGOAF is but worried I may be mocked for my ignorance...

    Natalie Portman MILP Claire? She dropped vegan regime for merely veggie diet during pregnancy.

    When she accepted her Best Actress Oscar earlier this year, she paid tribute to her French husband-to-be, saying: 'My beautiful love, Benjamin, who has now given me my most important role of my life.'

    I feel a bit iffy on this one!

    Jools Oliver = MILP. I read her pregnancy book just to wind myself up - knowing I already hated her and would hate it. It was pure rankness. Ugh. I just shuddered.

    Also Jessica Alba was pregnant at the same time as me and was a stark comparison to my grey jaded fat self, being all glowing and perfect. Haven't seen any recent pictures but I'm hazarding a guess that she's looking a bit better than I am right now? Bitch.

    Sara Cox as a MILF? I like her.

    YAY MILPS! I'm so glad you're keeping this going. It was a genius idea if I ever heard one. I've already seen some excellent suggestions in the comments. But a MILF I would think is Jennifer Garner. I read an article about her pumping in the limo on the way to the Oscars that endeared me forever to her.

    I was going to write a comment on how I felt this was all a bit mean and unsisterly and shouldn't we be more concerned that women in the public eye felt the need to project this unrealistic image rather than reveal the truth, blah blah blah ... Then I re-read the names on the list. Yeah. You're right. Particularly about Klass (we had first babies at the same time, me and Myleene. A week before I was due, a plumber came to fix our washing machine and noticed I had THAT copy of Glamour [on the cover of which Myleene poses naked and preggers, a la Demi Moore]. The plumber cast an appraising glance at me and said I'd probably be about the same size, naked. Then he got on with examining the ballcock or whatever it is they do. It was embarrassing. I blame you, Myleene).

    I'd like to add Kym Marsh to MILFs - she tweets about Polly Pocket (ok bit dodgy) keeping her awake with teething (clearly no nanny) and being knackered. She's got a real woman's figure and has been through a rough trot. She tweeted me once too (so not remotely biased).

    Miranda Kerr is a MILP, "no epidural because she didn't want to have a drugged up baby"! Oh DO feck off!

    Hilary Duff is a MILF, appeared looking relatively normal post-baby in a bikini & told everyone who slagged her off that she didn't care what they thought, huzzah!
