Pregnant Heidi Klum turns heads at Emmy red carpet

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The firefighters working the red carpet at Sunday's 61st annual Emmy Awards were worried that at least one reality TV star might be going home with more than just a trophy.

"Hey, did you see Heidi Klum? She's like 8 months pregnant. So you be ready, you might have to deliver," fire Inspector Jim Fisher said to his colleague Craig Hancock as they and other authorities hustled Emmy VIPs into the Nokia Theatre.

A bystander asked Fisher if he knew what Klum, the host of "Project Runway," was wearing.

"Don"t ask a guy wearing polyester that kind of question," replied Fisher, dressed in a white uniform shirt and fire-resistant gray pants.

"What about me? This is wool," piped up Sgt. Pete Foster, who was wearing a wool shirt.

The Emmy trophy table has moved up in the world.

The offstage stop containing dozens of real Emmys, not the fake ones recipients are handed onstage, used to be located in a nondescript section of a parking garage. This year it's in an air-conditioned, red-carpeted section of the Nokia Theatre roof.

Emmy winners exit the theater through a back door, then head for the table, where they trade in their generic trophy for one of the real ones. A nameplate with their name and the category in which they were honored will arrive in the mail later.

When can I have sex again?

Most caregivers recommend around six weeks recovery time after a vaginal birth, which is more or less the same for a cesarean delivery. In both instances, the uterus needs to get back to its postpartum size; and no matter your baby’s exit route, there’s some skin and muscle that needs to heal.

One Pregnancy & Baby expert tells us, “I evaluate my cesarean section patients one week and four weeks after delivery. Typically, by four weeks, most women can resume nearly normal activity, including sexual intercourse.” (Read more in Resuming sex after cesarean.) In addition, the ACOG (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) states the following:

Most women will need about 4 to 6 weeks after delivery to heal. Women who have had a cesarean delivery may take a little longer to heal before their ob-gyn gives the green light for sexual activity. It is fine to resume sex after the cervix has closed (usually around 4 weeks after delivery) and as soon as intercourse is comfortable, but the healing process should be complete to avoid hurting fragile tissues. Some women, however, may find that they don’t have much interest in sex after giving birth due to fatigue, stress, fear of pain, lack of opportunity and/or lack of desire. This is usually temporary, though.

So, basically, if your caregiver signs off on it after an exam and you feel ready to give it a go, enjoy. Yes, it will feel a little different — but that’s a topic for another article! (Just be sure to use plenty of lubricant and take it nice and slow.)

WHEN A BABY IS BORN, SO IS A MOTHER™

It seems like my rib cage is bigger now. Is that possible?

If you’re noticing it, it’s not only possible, but probable.

This — like your bigger feet — is caused by the effects of the hormone relaxin. Relaxin’s job is to help loosen your ligaments (bone-to-bone connectors) so your rib cage can expand as your baby grows, and your hips can stretch as needed to birth your baby.

Late in pregnancy, you may have noticed that your baby was taking up valuable real estate under your ribs, thereby making the rib bones spread. Your chest will probably be pretty sore as it happens — not to mention baby’s kicks in that region can be quite painful. (Sometimes you will have a sore spot for years. No joke.)

And it’s not only the little one pushing the rib cage out: your vital organs have been smooshed and moved around to accommodate junior, too. Since you have had a lot of pressure pushing on your ribs (think of what it looks like when you freeze a can of soda) and sometimes they just stay expanded.

You’ll probably first notice the extra breathing room because you will have suddenly gone up a bra size — like from a 34B to a 36B or C. The letters represent the cup size (and that increase is due to other factors), but the number is from measuring around your rib cage. Of course, the change isn’t all due to bone changes — there’’s probably a bit of baby fat, too.

Where you’ll end up in terms of bra size, nobody knows for sure. Our advice is to get bra hook expanders or buy bras with hooks you can adjust as needed.
