> Women become pregnant before they become mothers. Men become pregnant after they become fathers. I heard this joke a while ago, and while cruel seems to have an element of truth to it by observation. Lack of sleep, lack of exercise, less time to make healthy meals seems to be a terrible combination for weight gain.

  Yeah. Perfect way to teach your kid about healthy foods and nutrition: drinking smoothies.

    I think there are much worse diets to have that your kids would learn from than soylent.

      There probably are worse alternative, but I'd rather teach my kid to enjoy good food and see a meal as a time to socialize/relax rather than something to be optimized

Good joke! The experience itself is different. While for women it is more shocking and exciting, men still need to handle their partner and other responsibilities during this period and pretty much share that experience which, as article suggests, alters them both in some ways.

  > alters them both in some ways. meh, not really. I don't think you can equate having to walk around mother+baby type stores on your weekend with growing a baby inside you. Life doesn't change "that" much for fathers during the pregnancy apart from support the mother with the changes she is going through After the birth, then hold on, the ride is now beginning and everything you ever know is turned upside down

The dad-body is real! As hard as it is for men I still think it is much harder for moms.
