Meghan has been the center of attention for many reasons, and her pregnancies have been
the source of dozens of theories.
And in this video you're going to understand why people can't stop asking so many questions
about this topic.
Welcome back, my body language buddies! my name is Jesús Enrique Rosas, I'm the Body
Language Guy, and it would be great if you join us by just liking this video, subscribing
and hitting that bell! let's get down to it!
I must say that the subject of Meghan's pregnancy is something that I considered too controversial
and definitely out of bounds for my channel.
A sensitive topic like, Peanut Butter on Pizza or crocs with socks.
But once you go down this rabbit hole, it's hard to ignore events like, how exactly can
Meghan, heavily pregnant, crouch down wih her knees together?
Well, quite a handful of people argued that since Meghan practices yoga, then she would
have no problem doing exactly that.
And it's great that Doria is a yoga instructor and Meghan had practiced with her since she
was seven.
That explains so much flexibility when she's stretching the truth.
But one thing is being able to do a flawless crow, and another, very different one is vanishing
an eight month bump like David Copperfield.
Every time I raised any kind of question regarding this, the absolutely not friendly social media
Inquisition blasted me for pretending to know anything about pregnancies since a) I have
never been pregnant, and most important b) I'm a man, which makes "A" all the more difficult.
But in my defense, Christiaan Huygeens measured the distance from Earth to the Sun, and no,
he did not use a measuring tape.
Instead he used science and common sense.
And common sense it's way more useful tool to realize there's something odd with Meghan's
physical feat, because at eight months pregnant is not uncommon for the belly button to pop
out.
And in fact, this was Meghan's case as it was pointed out in the British tabloids in
what has got to be the slowest news day of the year.
But the reason belly buttons pop out is... pressure.
Because pregnancy bumps will go through all states of firmness, from "Warm jello", all
the way to "freshly pumped basketball".
So, squatting with your knees together doesn't allow any space for your basketball, so to
speak, to drop between your legs.
So, where does it go?
Well, nowhere.
So it instead compresses the internal organs.
I guess that Meghan had, like, ten seconds of oxygen at that moment.
Now, some have pointed out, quite accurately, that using high heels actually helps you squat,
because it allows your ankles to work in a leveraged position.
You can test it, squatting barefoot versus squatting with your heels higher and resting
on a small block or brick.
But, at the same time, stilettos during pregnancy can be really painful because most probably
your feet and ankles will be a bit swollen due to natural fluid buildup in your body,
and especially if you need to stand for rather long periods of time, such as Meghan's royal
engagements.
And those high heels offer the least amount of shock absorbing, so... standing or walking
for more than a couple hours on those, must be more painful than watching Boris Johnson
reading The Bench.
Again.
Common sense.
But there's still another problem that is waddling.
When women enter the third trimester of pregnancy, two things happen.
First, their bodies secrete relaxin, which adds extra elasticity to pelvic joints, progressively
making the cervix wider, preparing for giving birth.
And...
second, well, it's no longer a basketball but a Russian watermelon.
What happens is that human gait is a balancing act, in which the pelvis shifts from side
to side as you are walking.
As the pelvis is wider and the watermelon is... heavier, then the swaying is going to
be more pronounced.
So, when you walk, you're gonna look like an easter island statue being moved into place.
Yeah, just like that.
So people also claim that Meghan did not show anything close to waddling when she was heavily
pregnant.
In fact, in this clip at eigth months, you can see that she does the whole routine.
She squats, she gets up, and then walks without waddling.
Yoga.
I guess.
But let's not forget all the pictures where Meghan enters a venue with certain belly size
and gets out with a totally different belly size.
We could call it deflategate but sadly... it's taken.
And people have put HOURS of research of these before and after photos.
I mean, it's baffling so much energy invested in these comparisons, and in fact it contradicts
the other theory about Meghan actually having a Russian Watermelon strapped to her body
with duct tape.
Because if she had a watermelon... the watermelon is NOT gonna change shape or volume.
It's more likely that a baby doing cartwheels is the best explanation for Meghan's bump
changing in a matter of hours,
but...
it all depends of the stage of your pregnancy, because the higher the week, the harder it
is for the baby to shift position until it's permanently aligned with the launchpad, so...
it's less likely to be moving and changing shape in the third trimester.
And you know what?
I did my research too.
And I went as far as googling the term "tummy shaper for men" and boy...
I've seen things.
Just to confirm that the human body can be fascinating.
Gross, most of the time, but fascinating nonetheless.
So, in some way I understand your concerns with Meghan's pregnancy narrative, the theories
and all that, and especially why there is all this mistery surrounding the miracle of
life.
But that's when we reach the ePItomee that is the Meghan Cradle.
Not to be confused with the Meghan Claw, which I dedicated a complete episode to that, but
the cradling that she was always doing to her belly bump.
I mean, wherever she went, no matter who was she talking to, standing, sitting... no matter
what! she was cradling her bump.
And somehow this really upset a lot of people, even if Meghan at least was adding some variety
all the time.
Craddling from the top, craddling from the bottom, but my favorite one is the Yin Yang
cradling.
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
And somehow this was the batsignal for everyone to say, "You see?
that's Meghan fooling everyone!"
And... maybe she was trolling everyone.
She could have realized that, she touched her belly once, and headlines popped to the
left! touch her belly again and headlines popped to the right!
It was like stroking the lamp to get the genie out, but instead of the genie, it was Piers
Morgan screaming.
I think one of the reasons people talk so much about Meghan's pregnancy is the fact
that Meghan is so controversial in so many aspects and... somehow she wants privacy with
Archie and Lilibet, which by the way, I absolutely respect.
And in fact, that's one of the prices you have to pay in royal life.
You have to be public since the day you are born.
And that can be really overwhelming for anyone, growing up being a public persona even before
being capable of reasoning.
But one thing is wanting privacy for your family and another, very different is completely
isolating your children, especially from their great grandmother, who I absolutely believe
is really heartbroken by that, not to mention that she's been through an extremely hard
year of loss and grief.
So, it's really hard to think that all this so called privacy, living a normal life, having
our children live a normal life is yet another way of critizing the royal family' values.
And if you've been following my videos, you know that the SussexES have been doing this
in every way imaginable.
Direct and indirect.
If they think that they can ask the question, "what did we do to deserve all these attacks?"
well, there are so many things that you've done to earn that, it's... really not much
of a surprise.
I think no one is in a fair place to really assess any theory against Meghan's pregnancy...
even if there are so many strange things surrounding it, but I strongly suggest that anything related
to her children, or any children for that matter, should be left out of these kind of
conversations.
We have more than enough just with the actions of the adults.
