Hi, welcome back to Bounce Forward with me, Tiff Pull. I'd like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land of which I'm recording this podcast. The wereundry people of the cooler nation. I pay my respects to elders past and present. Mary messaged me, Tiff, I've seen a lot of negative and pretty gross comments, mainly from men, about Margot Robbie's pregnancy body. They're basically saying that she's ruined because of it. I know you went through a rough
time with your pregnancies being so public. Do you have any comments on this kind of treatment of pregnant women, no matter who they are? Oh, Mary, I am so grossed out by these comments, and I went and had a look online because I wasn't aware of it, and the comments are things like it's like watching your favorite pub burndown. Barbie is not barbing anymore, she's really let herself go. She's ruined now. Absolutely disgusting, and I felt quite in raged because you should never comment on another
woman's body, let alone a pregnant woman's body. And when I was pregnant, and I was pregnant in the media as a fitness professional, people were commenting on my body all the time, that I had put on more weight than I should have in my pregnancy, that I was bigger than I should have been, that my bump was bigger. Are you having twins? Ha ha ha? Are you sure there's not triplets in there? No, I'm having one baby,
and I am pregnant like it was constant. And I had one experience where I went to a cafe and a man came up to me and he said, whoa, and it was kind of like you've let yourself go vibes and I'm like, I'm pregnant in thirty weeks blah blah blah. And he's like, oh, my wife, she was just a bump, just stick legs and a tiny bump and kept it really neat. You must be having a girl. Did you know that girls steal their mother's looks. You
must be having a girl. My wife she had three boys, perfect little bump, kept active, was just like couldn't tell she was pregnant from behind. She was amazing. And I was standing there just like tears in my eyes, and ed just like ushered me to the table, and it was just comments like that happening to me all the time, like that was just one example. I've never gone back to that cafe. Barred my family from going to that cafe.
And I thought, I'll walk back in there when I'm not pregnant and be like, look at my revenge body. But I've never done it, because you know, I just don't want to waste the energy on that. People feel like as a pregnant woman, they can touch your belly, they can comment on your body, and it is just not on. And that's why I created my bounce forward philosophy and just declared to everyone I was bouncing forward. I wasn't going to bounce back. And I hope that
Margot Robbie doesn't bounce back. I hope that she bounces forward. I hope that she takes her time to bond with the baby, to snuggle up in that baby bug bubble, and to to just not worry about a body and not punish yourself with exercise or deprive herself with on a diet or a boot camp or some kind of Hollywood boot camp. I hope that she just says f off to everyone and takes her time to slowly recover
from giving birth. In that fourth Trimessa that is so sacred and then gently gets back into exercise and safely starts working her pelvic floor. And there's all these things. When you're making these comments about people's bodies, you don't know what they're going through. I had a few health issues in my pregnancies I didn't share with anybody, you know, that affected my weight, That affected everything that I had going on in my pregnancy. You don't know what's happening
behind closed doors or in that for that person. We don't know what's happening for Margo Robbie. And I'm hearing comments like, oh, she must be having a girl, because again, girls just feel you out, And I'm like, I was filled out with a boy. I was filled out with a girl. It really doesn't make a difference. You shouldn't make any kind of judgments on a women's body, and especially men when they take up comment over a female's body, no matter whether you're pregnant or not. It's just not on.
And we're in twenty twenty four now, people, it's twenty twenty four. We should stop commenting on people's bodies. And it doesn't matter if you're a celebrity, if you're in the public eye, or you're not. You need to stop the commenting and it's just really really sad and it makes me really really angry.
