It isn’t cute to have the pregnant bump out in a crop top. Power to you if you feel comfortable because of it, but it’s not cute.

I love seeing women who show off their bellies to me it’s powerfully symbolic.

what makes it not cute? 🤔
It’s not a moral judgement, I just don’t think it’s pleasing to look at. If you want to do it, go ahead!

Love when people are too afraid to post their hot takes without going anonymous lol

My only concern is the colder weather brings my inner grandma out “your kidneys will get cold!”

I love a bump, I loved taking pictures of my bump. Makes me a little sad now cause I miss it but I don't feel any type of way about the photos themselves

I loved wearing a crop top with very high waisted pants. It was comfy

i never did this but i’m not against it. If a woman wants to show off her bump and this is her way of doing so and she’s comfortable doing so she should be able to!

I wasn't able to show off my bump during my pregnancy because of the job I was working but I love seeing women get to show off theirs.
Being able to carry and grow a child is a beautiful blessing even though it's horrible being pregnant for a lot of people myself included.
Unless they are showing off private parts that are not appropriate for the public I have no issue with however anyone dresses especially when pregnant because I know how awful it can be to find clothes you feel good in when everything hurts and you feel awful.

personally i don’t wear crop tops in any nature but.. i think there also goes to another point of some people don’t want to spend a lot of money on maternity clothes and wear what they already have because babies are already really expensive! save money where you can! and what happened to women supporting women! great if you think that but you’re more than welcome to keep your judgmental options to yourself from maybe being insecure? what did you think was gonna happen people were going to just shit talk with you on other women who are literally growing a human being? pregnancy can be very uncomfortable and the best thing you can do is feel good about yourself! all those healthy endorphins go to the baby!

I think it looks cute.
Today i found out if you have the flu or a cold you feel really under the weather and just want to lie down and rest - our babies do the same thing, their movements may be reduced because they are reserving energy, didn’t know this before but it puts my mind at ease as i had the worst flu over the past week at 37 weeks and baby girl was quite quiet ❤️🥰

Hiya all!
I’m new to the app, I was just wondering how your 17 week old babies are getting on with rolling?
My daughters rolling from her back to her belly one side but won’t roll the other way just yet xxx

I’ve just had a call from my midwife following from my 12 week scan on Wednesday saying I have low PAPP-A and have been advised to take aspirin every night, she didn’t seemed too concerned but I obviously have been googling everything and have sent myself down a hole.. anyone else had PAPP-A and everything was ok? My scan was on the 47th percentile at 12 weeks.
Any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Had the foley balloon fitted last night at 2100 after 4 attempts and 2 different midwives as although my cervix was soft apparently it was very closed but the end she managed to force it to 0.5cm. Since then I’ve had irregular contractions although some quite painful and close together for a few hours that I had to get some pain relief, have also lost my bloody show. What’s the odds I’m gonna be dilated enough to break my waters after the 18 hours?

Born some time after 3pm (I think 😭), weighing 9lbs. Rough C-section though, had to do spinal twice, threw up, they had to make a new incision and cut through muscle and finally they had to get rid of some scar tissue. They did need a vacuum to get him out
