For someone who had little to say about her pregnancy, Minnie Driver is certainly opening up these days. She won't reveal the name of the baby's father and she has no plans on finding out the baby's sex before the big day, but she has a lot to say about the rest of parenting.
The actress recently revealed she has no real plans to stay with the baby's father and is seriously considering single motherhood. Now she admits she is prepared to be a "chubby" mother as well. As opposed to other Hollywood starlets who look like they were never pregnant to begin with (Keri Russell, I'm talking to YOU) or those who hit the gym moments after they shed the placenta and worked out frantically to reduce their size, Minnie has no plans to do anything other than be a mommy! Take that, Kate Hudson! (Hudson gained seventy pounds with son Ryder.)
Driver says to plan on seeing her around Malibu, and to plan on seeing her fat. As most of us realistic gals know, it takes a year to put it on, and heaven knows it can take at least a year to take it back off--if we ever do. Nice to hear someone from tinsel town taking a breath of reality! I doubt Minnie will stay 'chubby' as she likes to call it, given that she gained a ton of weight for her breakout role in Circle of Friends and lost all of it, but only time will tell. I just wish someone would advise Minnie she doesn't look fat now that she's pregnant--she looks fantastic!

Good for her! She's gorgeous at any size, anyway. It's so unhealthy for these postpartum moms to starve themselves. They shortchange their health and that of their babies if they're breastfeeding. Women are supposed to have a little fat on their bodies. That's why we can endure famine longer than the guys... nature's little insurance policy for the babies

The woman can't stop nattering about her weight and that goes to show that not only is she self-conscious about it, she can't wait to take it off. She was never slim to begin with and it doesn't look like she is whale-like but can't stop going on about accepting that she is fat and revelling in it.
When the baby comes, expect her to lose the little weight she gained pronto.
