I had to see if others were as surprised by her tiny/non-existent bump as I was. 5 months along – and I don’t see anything. Maybe the workout pants and top are holding the baby in? I hope she and the baby are fine. Eating like crazy is good for the baby!

I dunno, is something that intense, spinning, GOOD for a gestating baby? Seems like her heart rate being up at the cardio level would be bad.. I thought things like yoga and more gentle exercise were the standard for pregnancy. Especially considering Nicole’s age and proclivity to miscarrying, it does make you wonder..

I also want to say that I agree with the posters who have said that the reason her bump is so small is because of her height. I know a woman who is fairly tall, like Nicole…and barely showed even when she was in her third trimester! It was only in the last two months or so of her pregnancy that she popped!

Also, Christina Aguilera, who isn’t a very tall person, didn’t really show at all until her sixth month, and even then her bump was very small. She didn’t really pop until late Decemeber, just a few weeks before she had Max.

All of that said, keep in mind that this is also Nicole’s first child, and women often don’t show as early or as much with their first child as they do with their second, third, etc.

tink1217- Oh my gosh! Really? After hearing that (about how other sites are spreading rumors about her wearing a prosthetic bump and having a surrogate carrying the baby, that is), I’m appalled, to! That’s just as bad as what all the tabs, and even the general public, were saying about poor Katie Holmes when she was pregnant with Suri (in Katie’s case, however, even worse things were said, i.e. that the entire pregnancy was faked and there was no baby)!

I can see why those things were said about Katie (not that I think they should have been said or that she deserved it!), but I cannot believe that that stuff is being said about Nicole! No wonder some celebs, like J-Lo, choose to keep quiet about their pregnancies for several months!

That said, why do people always assume the baby is a boy when the celeb says, “he”. Like other commentors have said, lots of people will refer to an unborn baby as “he” even if they know it (I hate using that term to refer to a baby, but I can’t think of how else to phrase it) is really a “she”. I’m not trying to criticize, just curious as all!

She is very tiny and I don’t think it has to do with her height but maybe her previous size. How many super models have we seen on this site who balloon up after 4 months? My sister on the other hand who was suffering with anorexia before getting pregnant was very tiny until the end, and she had a healthy baby. I’m not sure what’s going on but I hope everything is ok.

There are lots of rumors circulating. One is that Nicole actually has a surrogate, but wanted the public to get off her back so she gained some weight and announced she was pregnant. I don’t think this is the case because I would hope she would be a voice for women who have trouble TTC just like Cindy Margolis and not hide behind a lie.

Allison, I think you are completely missing the point. The observation about her being small has got nothing to do with her eating habits, if you remember Bridget Moynahan who is also very tall had a belly up to there and yet her body in general remained quite slim. So I don’t think she was “eating like crazy” as you suggest is the explanation for all those with big baby bumps.

I cannot believe she is 5 months pregnant. I know I know it’s been said already it’s because she’s tall and what not but sheesh. Especially in that second picture she looks so not pregnant except for the boobies of course which are bigger than her usual. Maybe she will just explode toward the end.

I dont think she is that small. I too am tall (5’8) and I gained in total 25 pounds during my pregnancy and everyone told me the same thing…you are so small, only belly, you will have a small baby. Even my OB was convinced that I would have a 6lb baby. Nope 8 pound 9 oz healthy baby boy. Good for her for not using pregnancy as an excuse to go crazy with eating!!

seeing as she supposedly told a “pal,” i doubt the validity of the statement. i mean, cate made her comment in front of cameras, right? so unless nicole makes a comment to paps/interviewers i won’t believe it. also, jessica is right: some people say “he” just so they don’t have to say “it” and may switch between “he” and “she” if they don’t know/don’t want to share the sex.

I know with both my pregnancies I referred to the baby as “he” quite a bit. Just out of reflex I think. I had a girl and then a boy.
