Women, do not go bra-less in public. Women, do not go bra-less in your own homes if you have repairmen round. Women, do not go bra-less in front of male relatives. Parents, do not let your daughter's wear nice dresses in public. Women, do not eat what you crave after giving birth. And people have the nerve to say that it's women who do all the nagging! How about people mind their own fúcking business and let women make their own decisions without slút-shaming or guilt-tripping them?

After 9 months of growing a person + spending however many hours in labor - new moms *deserve* to get whatever they want to eat! All you people saying it's bad - NOYFB.

I had a friend gave birth that really wanted a birthday cake, so baked her one. She ate half of it by herself. She looked like the moms in these ads.

After giving birth to both twins and then a 12 pound baby, my sister specifically asked for fast food. I don't see the big deal - she definitely needed something to reward herself for giving birth for those babies!!

So glad to come to the comments and find no judgey people. Anyone who has been through birth, witnessed it or understands what it entails knows that a woman can eat whatever she feels like eating afterwards without anyone shaming her. I'll bet those burgers were the best tasting burgers they'd ever had!

Anyone who says mothers shouldn’t have burgers right after giving birth maybe have no idea what the f**k they are talking about.

I've been at baby deliveries..... they deserve whatever food they want. And if not delivered .... I love her enough to go and get it for her

Following 40 weeks in which we carefully curated a nutritionally balanced diet and monitored everything we ate for salt, fat, risk of food poisoning etc etc, which then culminated in hours and hours of the most physically painful exhausting process on earth where we sweated our arses off, we can eat whatever we damn well please and if you dont like then you can f**k right off. Our body, our choice.

As I was left on the ward with my baby at 3am and I asked my husband was that he arrived in the morning with a McDonald's breakfast for me....he didn't but damn I would have loved that.

I would have loved a burger after having mine. Labour is HARD and I hate tea and toast so had to wait for when the meal trolley came round. Whoever says it's disgusting should understand she (he?) Isn't the be all and end all on what mothers need or want! Xxx

These women have just given birth, which is usually extremely exhausting (both physically and mentally). No wonder they want fast food that gives them energy quickly without much effort (the body can process the food with less effort).

If this isn't the STUPIDEST thing I've ever seen, it's in the top 10. If you have a problem with the food that someone is eating, turn your idiotic head. I can pretty well guarantee you that these moms really could not care less whether someone approves of their post labor food choices. I want to see the article showing pictures of post labor women enjoying celery.

How many of the complainers are either men, or those so called crunchy moms? Yes, ladies need healthy food. You certainly don't want to eat it every day. But mom deserves a treat. Dispense whatever advice about nutrition you want, but understand Mom's exhausted and maybe wants to celebrate? Let her have her junk food and mind yo own beezwax!

Reminds me of those videos I’ve seen of “health” influencers losing their minds over pregnant people eating cheetos or other types of junk food

Also, if men gave birth, the hospital fridge would be stocked with beer and pastrami sandwiches.

After you push a whole human being out of your nether regions you deserve to eat whatever you damn well please!! All these people concerned about "nutrition" need to shove off. No one is saying that the mothers are going to make Whoppers part of their daily diet. FFS mind your own business - there are way worse things going on in the world!

After laboring for hours if not days, a woman's body NEEDS sodium (electrolytes), fat (brain food), and protein (muscle food). Imagine a firefighter coming off a 24 hour shift fighting a forest fire and someone hands him tea and toast to assuage his hunger. Let them eat what they want, and MYOB.

Nobody said the mothers ate more than 1 burger. I don't see anything bad about that. When I was pregnant I cut out 99% of caffeine. But right after 2 of my 3 kids came out, I craved so hard for a cold coca cola (and they are totally not my fav cola at all). But just 1 cold coca cola after birth and I was good. After that I ate and drank normal and healthy foods/drinks again. 1 burger is not that bad, imo. If it was 2 or 3 I'd be concerned.

I’m laughing at people insisting that a woman just having delivered a baby must eat [this] and [that]. Christ; she just went through the most difficult thing a body can do, and she shouldn’t indulge a craving because … a single burger is gonna kill her? Really? I don’t know anything about childbirth, but I know about cravings, and there’re some people who wanna punish her for what she went through by having her eat, what? Quinoa, Brussels sprouts, and tofu? I’m imagining the woman demanding euthanasia instead. Let her have whatever she wants! It’s ONE EFFING MEAL! People need to stay the hell out of other peoples’ business! Let her be, for crying out loud!

While it's not giving birth, the first thing I have eaten after a hospital stay or fasting for a medical test or procedure is a Whopper with Cheese and Bacon and a large Dr Pepper to wash it down. So politely F-U-C-K off. I don't do it everyday. I might do it a few times a year. The craving is real. I feel like Tony Stark at his 1st press conference after being rescued in the desert. He ate 4 of them in that scene in "Iron Man."

I'm not pregnant, just a fat bloke, but now I want a burger.

She needs calories, and she needs food. And she has plenty of time to recover from this horrid, despicable meal 😂 when she, herself, has recovered. My personal choice would have been a genoa salami, sharp cheddar french bread sandwich. Or a McDonalds deluxe crispy chicken sandwich (4c) with some perfectly salted McD fries

FFS-eat whatever the heck you want!

People really need to get a hobby if this is what they are getting upset about nowadays. If the internet has taught us anything is that people have waaaaay too much time on their hands.

I'm a little relieved to read this article because I initially read the title as "Moms Eating Afterbirth". That would have been gross. Otherwise, eat that burger girl! You earned it!
