To not understand why women do this?

[Tomboyinatutu]

Why do alot of pregnant women feel the need to take pictures of their bump in their underwear? Or just in their pants holding their boobs with one arm? I don't get it! You can still see the bump if you are wearing trousers. I am pregnant myself, with my third and have never felt the need to do it so I just don't get why some women do it and then put them on the web for any tom dick and harry to look at?

[WorraLiberty]

Why not though?

It's not the sort of thing I would have done, but I can't see why some other women shouldn't if they like those sort of pics.

[ElderlyKoreanLady]

I'd love to have their confidence.
misses point

[Stratter5]

Because they want to, and they can. Lots of things I wouldn't do, but that doesn't mean nobody should, and vice versa.

It's not harming you, let it be.

[WorraLiberty]

But I will admit to not understanding why people take photos of their dinner, instead of just fucking eating it

[whois]

I would. For me. But I wouldn't share a nearly naked photo on FB.

[Mumberjack]

Demi Moore has a lot to answer for.
I'm all for 'if you've got it, flaunt it' and I admit to taking bump shots but think the issue isn't whether they take nude photos of themselves with bump but why they need to share it on the web.

[OttiliaVonBCup]

I would imagine it's different with the third one, the novelty of a big bump and boobs has worn off a bit, but changes in the body are excitbeing.
Underwear because it shows off the bump best.
Let them be.

After two miscarriages if I have a successful pregnancy, I will probably be taking photos in every light, every day, in every possible array of clothing, between pants and a clown suit.

Pregnancy is a wonderful thing, and bumps are beautiful.

It was ok for Demi Moore

But have seen other pictures that make the expectant mother look more like an overweight Roger Moore

[IpsyUpsyDaisyDo]

I got DH to take pictures of my bump as we went along - I thought it was just amazing what the female body does during pregnancy, how it changes, and I wanted a personal record of it particularly at the end when the bump was huge. He took some really gorgeous arty ones that have captured a really special time for us. I haven't put any of them online though, they are just for DH & I, and maybe DD when she's older.

[Snozberry]

I took a photo of my bump the day before DD was born, I like it. I wouldn't put it on the net as I doubt anyone would want to see it.

[VoldysGoneMouldy]

And I'd rather see pictures of bumps and babies than what everyone is having for dinner!

That really made me laugh out loud!

[Tomboyinatutu]

Taking pictures of bumps are great, I love seeing baby bumps. I just don't understand why you would put pictures of yourself half naked on an insecure forum (well app in this case) just to show off a bump? That's all I am saying. I didn't say they shouldn't, I just don't understand it at all.

[LucilleBluth]

It's because we live in a world now wher everything and everyone is oh so special.

I suppose if they are personal pics then it's not that bad.......and by number three my bump was so huge and stretch marked that even I didn't want to see an arty shot of it ;)

[WorraLiberty]

But why not, that's what I don't get?

I'm not interested in what people's bumps look like, but if they do choose to show everyone, why does it matter if clothes are covering their bodies, or a well placed arm/hand?

If you're worrying about men knocking out a wank, there are literally tons of pregnant porn sites that show a lot more than a baby bump.

[hufflebottom]

I don't on the basis of the fact that I'd give people nightmares and they would be on therapy for years. That and I look like a beached whale (and that was clarified for me by a wanker friend who I hadn't seen for a while.

I also think that it's a bump it's what's inside the bump that's far more interesting than the actual bump.

[peachybex]

Exactly what Ipsy said!. It might be the only time I ever do this and I would like to remember.

May create some sort of (very small) picture collage to put on the wall in our bedroom. May put a pic or two on fridge to help with post-baby diet!.

Couldn't put on web though - never, ever. An overweight Roger Moore is probably flattering me....!

[Floggingmolly]

Taking them is fine. Imagining the world and his dog is interested in seeing them is a bit self absorbed. But then, so many people are...

[Leelu6]

YANBU, OP. I know it's not PC, but I'm not a fan of the pics either.

[AmberLav]

I'm with the op, but I wouldn't take an underwear picture when non pregnant, I figure never have pictures around that might get opened by mistake that would embarrass you...

[Wardrobespierre]

You seriously don't understand? As others have explained, they want to and can. You're confusing I wouldn't do it or I don't approve with I don't understand.

They're just different to you. And me tbh. I barely put any pictures of me on FB. Or of my dinner. Or my cat. Or dc. Or the snow. Or the sky.

[ComposHatComesBack]

I think facebook has given people free range to indulge in all sorts of dickishness and egotistical behaviour.

I had a facebook friend announce her separation from her husband in the style of the press announcements celebs get their PR people to put out, followed by a curt reminder that she would not be answering questions on this matter.

[Sparklingbrook]

I think taking the pictures is fine. Assuming anybody else is in the least bit interested in seeing them is a bit weird.

Go back a few years would you get your packet of your bump photos out and pass them round on a night out? Probably not.

FB has a lot to answer for.
