Showing your bump...what do you think?

[mermaid]

I am posting this because my mum is very old fashioned and thinks pregnancy is 'private' and bumps should be covered up. lol
I am totally open minded and find it funny when she says things like this. I guess it is a matter of opinion though.

What do you all think about this?

i think it depends i wouldnt have got my bump out at 30+ weeks because of the stretch marks but now and then earlier on my bump would make a break for the daylight! In this heat as well i say get them out girls!!

i always walked around in short tight lil tops

Oh no, i think it's horrendous, I don't think pregnancy was an attractive time in my life tho. I do cringe tho when I c big bumps hanging out. I suppose I am old fashioned like ur mum!

I think tops that show a bit of your bump are lovely! My tummy is the tightest and most toned its been in years at the mo' and I have a top that has a split in it that shows my belly ring while I can still wear it. You spend so long waiting for your bump I think its nice to be proud of it before it gets too huge. Also it depends on what you wear it with but loose linen trousers with a tight top is nice in my opinion

I think its fine if you have a nice bump. I would definatly get mine out but i'm to flabby and covered in strech marks now so theres no chance. Why not in this weather!

 

[lozzi]

get it out and be proud!

altho saying that, if i was really big before the pregnnacy then got to 30 weeks and it still just looked like flab then i wudnt, but if uve got it flaunt it!

i agree, i have never had one of those perfect football bumps, if i did i would put it on show all the time.

i dont think people should, i dont know why i just dont like seeing people walking around with there bumps outs - although i dont like people walking around with there tummies out anyway wether there pregnant or not.
Iv also seen women with there bumps out when its snowing - surely that isnt safe for the baby!!

I think showing a bit of bump is wicked; pregnant and proud!! However, I think showing off your bump when your about to drop is a bit excessive!

 

[Melly+2]

i like to show a bit of bump if i have low trousers on but i dont show all of it coz i have just started getting stretchies

 

[Amanda]

I personally hate it. I don't even like to wear tight tops, which is getting a bit of a problem now!!

I've got no stretchmarks, and my bump is quite tight and football shaped (although on the large side), but I would never get it out in public.

Each to their own, but I don't like it.

personally i think bumps should be covered up. they aren't attractive to anyone but you and the father of your child.
I hate to see girls walking round with their bumps hanging out

i like my bump and i like my tits but i wouldn't walk arpound topless.

thats my opinion anyway

I ssppose early on when there is a neat little bump is not so bad, it's when you see a big belly with loads of stretch marks that makes me cringe !!

 

[Daggers]

hehehe, when I'm at home I always have my bump hanging out (well to put it nicely out on display). I was actually in the park on Saturday and had my bump out as well - I did ask if any one was bothered, and I didn't go for a walk about with my bump out, but I just feel more comfortable when relaxing to not have it covered. Fortunately so far I've had no stretch marks and it is a fairly tight bump with a nice stretch tatoo on it (I know that probably makes some of you cringe, but honestly it's not that bad!), besides I'm sure baba could do with a wee bit of sun as well ! And no one seemed particularly repulsed by my bump and I was also in the company of both my mom and mother in law!!

 

[Minxy]

It's not for me, though I think it depends how you dressed before pregnancy.

I'm the wrong side of 25 for belly tops anyway!

I think that a big bump is something to be proud of, I personally wouldn't have my bump hanging out, as I have stretchmarks from my previous pregnancy and just wouldn't feel comfy, but then I am not confident in my body anyway - but each to their own!

Live and let live - ce-la-vie!
