Size XS arrives at maternity stores. Only if we see them from the front or from the side, it can be seen that they are pregnant by the volume of the gut. But the rest of his body is extremely thin.
Mamirexia or pregorexia is a term referring to the fashion of pregnant women who want to be extremely thin, also known as anorexia of pregnant women.
And we are not talking about women who are thin because of their constitution and continue to stay that way during pregnancy, which is not a sign of poor health as long as the baby gains enough weight. It is a sickly, obsessive state, whereby future moms do anything to stay thin, putting their health and that of the baby at risk.
In the most exclusive sector of New York, the Upper East Side, this new trend is scaring health experts, who do not welcome with good eyes how more and more pregnant women do everything in order not to lose their figure. They are calling her, "mommyrexia”To capture an obsession that escapes everything healthy in order to stay beautiful.
The clichés (which fortunately are not as well seen as a few years ago) of supermodels as thin as a symbol of beauty have much to do with this. The obsession to recover the figure after childbirth, too.
But you can be beautiful and pregnant without maintaining weight or losing kilos. It is often said that the pregnant woman is more gleaming, more beautiful, and it sure is not because she gets thinner.
The influence of the famous
Celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman at the time or Victoria Beckham currently have their share of "responsibility" in this trend, as they are very thin in their pregnancies. However, it must be said that not as horrible as the drawing that illustrates this entry (although some less flattering photo does show them unhealthy).
But the fact that they themselves, like other women (because of their influence or not) give priority to their health or that of their children, realizes that it is a problem of a good part of society and the values that move us . All become victims.
The "victims" of this trend are women whose beauty is part of their appeal, women who fear losing their partner's attention or the media, according to a psychiatrist who treats celebrities with eating disorders.
But there are other victims too. The worst part is that, even when pregnancy comes to fruition and after giving birth they are likely to ignore your baby and even resent him, seeing him as the cause of his worries, of the inevitable changes in his body.
Mamirexia or pregorexia, anorexia of pregnant women, is a worrying fashion that we hope it does not spread. And, as we have done on other occasions, we claim pregnant women who wear their guts with pride, because that happiness is what gives beauty and makes them radiant women.
