My eyes!!!!!!

cover yourself up, woman!

See this has annoyed me.

OP - i question your intelligence. Take a step back and examine exactly why years of mysogynistic programming makes you think a healthy young size 14/16 pregnant woman should not be allowed to sunbathe on a beach?

And then to come and post it on a parenting website - words fail me....

Stop reading the Daily Mail and do something less boring instead.

It really angers me that we are so interested in what women look like. Nothing at all wrong with these pictures, pathetic that there is a market for these pap shots tbh. In the newsagents there are scores of these magazines with women in bikinis and analysis on who is to fat and who is too thin. Pathetic.

She is on a beach. She is enjoying the sunshine. The only reason you are staring at her is because your choice of misogynistic rag thinks you have any right to.

Give me a single good reason why she should cover up? It's not about you or your eyes or your opinion of her body. You actually have no right to sit in judgement over her. The Daily Fail has given people this false perception that you are allowed.

If you don't like it, buy a better class of newspaper.

ROFL

I read this and thought 'what a bloody stupid OP - she looks great'
scrolled down to read the most emphatic thread ever.

Op - you have isssshos

one for the sisterhood there Elsie! . She looks beautiful as far as I'm concerned. Good on you Natalie!!

She looks stunning, really glowing and beautiful!

WTF?!?!?!?! Right. That's it. Our society is officially going to Hell in a handbasket. Are we now all so twisted by Photoshop, Botox, starvation and surgery that the sight of a glowing healthy young woman taking pleasure in the sun and her pregnancy is something to be covered up?!?!

And that's before we even start on the fact that we should't even fucking see this picture. How fucking intrusive. Imagine if you were having a merry family outing, enjoying your first pregnancy, while some twat with a lens fifteen times as long as his dick is lurking in the sand-dunes just waiting for some embittered hag of a Daily Hate reader to chortle her ignorant empty heads off: "OMG!!11!!1!1 LOLZ!11!11 She looks like she ate something this week!11!1"

I hope you're thoroughly ashamed of yourself OP.

eeeeeek!

Went to bed after I posted that!

I'm obviously the only one that shrieked when she saw it then! Fair enough!

to their credit, it's a positive article on DM.

God, she looks fantastic! She has really got that pregnant glow - good for her.

Although I do agree with the poster who asked why we should be seeing this at all - it's not really our business.

Go headbanger!

bit uptight elsie?

She looks so healthy and well and blooming and happy and not exhausted. I'm 7 months pregnant too, and do not look like this. I am so

She may not be a size 6, but everything is in proportion and looks toned so she just looks fit and healthy, which is exactly what her baby needs, and that is way more important and admirable and something to strive for than being in single figures in your dress size.

Personally I think bikinis on pregnant women look great - round pregnant bellies are lovely to look at - and they are so much more comfortable than having shiny fabric stretched tightly over your bump.

I am as pregnant as Natalie was in these shots and a slightly smaller dress size. Your replies have made me so happy to know that if I take DS to for a swim the beach might not be full of people like the OP staring and thinking how revolting I am.... Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It is so true that our opinions of what is normal and healthy are now becoming so skewed, or maybe this thread shows that the meedja just want us all to believe that's what every one thinks so we should too(although the comments under the article do suggest many do think like that)

Elsie - Unless you actually ARE Natalie Cassidy (and therefore, like any woman, allowed to hate any / all photos of yourself)... you are really, really wrong on this one.

And, actually, if you ARE Natalie Cassidy, I'd like to say you look lovely and happy and healthy.

If you Aren't Natalie Cassidy, then I'd like to say shame on you for being such a cow!

Shame on you OP. You should be disgusted with yourself.

I'm sure you're a right stunner .

For what it's worth Natalie looks fecking fantastic. Happy and glowing and excited. All the best to her.

I think she looks wonderful... I wish I was that body confident and I am probably a few dress sizes smaller than her.

Her body is great - but it's her happiness, confidence and contentment that really shines through. I loved being pg for the first time and it looks like she is too... nothing can take away all that excitement of your impending new life.

If you ever see this Natalie, good luck with the baby and please ignore the OP - you are fab!

Don't worry, they aren't paparazzi photos. They will have been arranged by NC's pr. She wanted to the pictures to appear. You do know that's how it works, surely?

She looks fab and the OP would have a fit if she saw me in a bikini... My huge flabby stomach is like an OS map of stetchmarks. D'you know what? I am proud of each and every one of them!

Another one who think she looks fantastic. Well done for being confident on the beach and looking great

I think this is one of those threads that says an awful lot more about the OP than it does about NC.

Not sure I'll be able to take the OP seriously on other threads when I remember this one.

So long as NC is content enough to enjoy the sun in her bikini, who are we to judge?
