What was she asking about her post-baby body?


Hi guys! When Julie walks into the nursery only wearing a towel and asks Jason how long before she can get naked with someone, what is she talking about?

I haven't had children yet and was confused what he based his answer of "3 weeks, 5 tops" on.

Thanks!

She was asking if she was looking attractive again. Your body changes a lot during pregnancy, everything stretches out. After you give birth, you are still carrying weight in the abdominal area. You start to lose that weight as the weeks go by. Post pregnancy body weight can be very embarrassing for a woman with the extra tummy flab and no waistline. If she's had a cesarean, than it takes longer for a woman to heal from the surgery.

This scene was to show the kind of platonic relationship Jason and Julie have. There is trust, no judgement, and no sexual attraction getting in the way of their friendship. It wasn't until Julie saw Jason as a wonderful father that she started feeling an attraction towards him.
