Motherhood is the greatest thing and the hardest thing.
I wanted to give birth as opposed to being delivered!
For me, being memorable is more important than winning.
I want to spark ideas and conversations and inspire people to take active roles in their communities, relationships and their well-being.
If I had been on 'Bowling for Dollars,' I'd wind up owing them money.
During labor the most important thing is to get primal and surrender to the process.
It makes sense that the placenta almost looks like a tree with many branches - a tree of life.
I believe every woman has the right to any birth experience she wants, wherever she chooses and with whatever care provider she's comfortable. It's about doing your own due diligence and finding the best option for you.
It was a long time in the making, my divorce. One day became less special than the next, and pretty soon, we ceased all conversation. It is a sad day when you have nothing left to say.
I am not a natural dancer.
Putting a family member in jail is a good sign there is something seriously wrong in the home.
Normal birth to me should not be numb from the waist down and waiting for the doctor to tell you to push. There's a reason we feel it. There's a reason we need to feel it.
Being fat worked, and I think that was what was confusing for me for a long time in my career.
For somebody famous, it's weird anyway to meet someone, because they have a preconceived notion of who you are.
I am wearing a size 28 Paige Jeans. Jeans don't lie, and I am just happy!
I can't believe I was a fat person for most of my life.
I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.
I do not want to die being known for doing baby mama DNA tests on my show.
I've surpassed any goal I set for myself as far as my body, my career, and getting married.
What's the difference between tough love and acting like a jerk?
I think it's important to balance out what people see today as normal birth, in a hospital room, flat on their backs, usually with an IV and a fetal monitor hooked up to them. That does happen, but other things are possible.
My body holds on to every part of every, you know, calorie that there is out there.
It's inspiring, I think, for women out there to see I'm a regular person. I am the every woman who's struggled with my weight.
My birth experience is not right for everyone, but it was so right for me. I am changed because of that experience, i saw my power and I felt my power, and it's gotten me through a lot of hardship. I tell myself that if i could get through that, I can get through anything. I think women are losing an opportunity by not aspiring to have births in which they are active participants.
I've lost 12 inches in three weeks. Every time I go for the costume fitting each week, it's smaller and smaller. I'm feeling great. I'm putting in the work. I'm getting a lot of sleep. Everything is on the backburner right now. 'Dancing' is my priority.
