How do you feel about Melinda’s decision to take time out for yourself during her delivery?
“Every time I used to go in, they always, they kept you on scale, okay? And he was really worried,” she recalled on Jamie Kern Lima Podcast. “And I finally said to him, ‘Okay, are you worried because it is a problem for my health or my child’s health?” And he said, “No”
“And I said, ‘So what is the problem?” “He continued.” And he said, “I am afraid that you are going to go mad at me because when it is over, it will take you some time to get you Pregnancy Close.'”
French Gates made a deal to him, saying “You have never brought my weight until it is a health problem for me or a child, and when it is over, I promise you not to be crazy.”
