False labor for Britney Spears

Britney Spears reportedly went into false labor on July 15th.  According to In Touch Weekly magazine, Britney checked herself into the hospital because she believed she was in early labor.  Turns out, she wasn’t and that she needs to eat fewer Cheetos and more veggies.

What?  I never heard of that before.

In Touch’s source told them, "After indulging in junk food during her first two trimesters, shehired a nutritionist to help her follow a well-balanced diet.  She wasn’t eating enough vegetables.”

“Turns out, she wasn’t and that she needs to eat fewer Cheetos and more veggies.”

LOL! I’m sorry but this just sounds absolutely ludicrous. I’m actually of the opinion that she’s been healthier this time around than she was with Sean.

omg that’s my plate of cheetos! sounds made up…. about the cheetos anyway. i’ve never heard of junk food bringing on labor.

Maybe she had bad indigestion? That’s wierd. I’ve never heard that junk food could cause early labor.

Sounds to me like Brittany’s gestational diabetes glucose test came back a bit too high and this is their way of saying she needs to be eating a healthier diet — without having to divulge the whole story. It really isn’t any of our business, that’s between Brittany and her doctor, but this is a possibility.

Her trip to the ER was probably just a bad case of heartburn — quite common in the third trimester when that baby has grown enough to be up under your ribs.

if junk food brings on labour why was my son soooooo late?

My cousin always ate McDonald’s because she craved it all the time and my baby cousin came out healthy and she didn’t have false labor at least that’s what I think. I was only nine at the time. But this thing about junk food I do think it’s ridiculous but what do I know?

Could be that she was constipated from not eating enough fiber (ie veggies) and had abdominal cramps from that. See dooce.com for the funniest account of “poop labor”.

I’m with Christi, I bet that’s where the pain came from rather than the food cauing an actual (albeit false) labour!

i have never heard that before, and i have been through, via my sisters, 4 pregnancys over the past 5 years.

- Stephanie on July 27th, 2006

Yep, sounds like nonsense.

- susan on July 27th, 2006

that sounds so ridiculous!!! I ate junk food all the time with my PG’s and it did not cause false labor!! I have never heard of that at all!!! Sounds like someone made it up to have a story that could once again put rit in the hot seat!! The press needs to get a life!!

That sounds ridiculous!

Junk Food can cause constipation, which could cause cramping, which could be miconstrued as labor pains. Or maybe her gallbladder is on its way out (BC, pregnancy and junk food all contributing factors) and causes labor like pains (I know from personal experience). I hope for her sake and the babies that it really is nothing. I do not car her as a personality but I do care on a human level.

My first labor pains came in the form of leg and hip pain. Everyone is different, so it is possible junk food is effecting Britney differently than it may effect others.I am sure IF Kevin is smoking in the house, that is not helping either.

Greasy and high carb foods can sometimes cause a gall bladder attack which is in the stomach area and might bring on contractions based on the stress level of the Mom at the time of the attack.

Could be?

- Melissa on July 27th, 2006

That sounds ridiculous.
C’mon we saw her like 2 times eating cheetos and now (she is the queen of cheetos)
Junk food doesn’t cause a false labor.
Look at the source Intouch weekly. Yeah we should believe what they say.

How can you know whether Halle Berry is a good mom or not? Ok she adopted some guys daughter, they go out shopping alot and the girl says Halle is swell. And?

What exactly IS a good mother anyway?

Even though I am not saying she Isn\\\’t or Is a good person/mother.I am pretty sure no one here knows Halle and her family on a personal level.

Lmao obviously wrong post

- Tai! on July 27th, 2006

im 6 weeks along and am finding that not eating all the junk food i used to is actually giving me less cramps less nausea and i have more energy.

- binx on July 28th, 2006

that is SO rediculous! if junk food could cause early labour every overdue mom would be eating it!

no seriously… that’s so stupid. I’m sure it was just a “this is none of your business but you wont keep bugging me about it so I’m going to give you some stupid answer” reply to the constant bugging of reporters.
