From the Imperfect Parent

Mariah Carey, 41, appeared on The Rosie Show, Rosie O’Donnell’s new show on the Oprah Winfrey Network, Nov. 8 to talk about her new life as the mom of twins and, not surprisingly, how she lost all the baby weight.

Carey reports that she gained roughly 70 pounds during her pregnancy with twins Moroccan and Monroe, who are now almost seven months old. During her appearance on Rosie, she shared that 40 of the pounds she gained were water weight.

Carey was very honest about her experience gestating twins, which is not easy.
