Woohoo Drama! (posting about myself for lol's)

So I posted on 3rd tri today with a picture of a bare belly shot showing my stretchmarks. I am VERY proud of them (oddly....) but I thought it would be funny! Now... apparently there's a woman who likes to go crazy on people, LCB, I believe, is her name.

In the post (even though you can't tell) I am fully clothed and could have walked out of my house and to work by just pulling my shirt down. Apparently I'm 'naked' in the picture though and I didn't even know it! Woo! Ahh well, gave me a lot to read!

Here's the link if any of you want an LOL or to put your two cents in.

  Oh no stretch marks! *sigh* PIP

Yeah, I remember the pubic hair picture.  That was a long while back so it may not be the same one you are referring to.  I did not want to see that chick's pubes while pregnant (or now). 

Don't worry about the stretchmarks, if they don't go away, you can get a tummy tuck when you are done having kids.  I had them all over, from my belly button on down.  I had a tummy tuck, and now they are gone.  I have a flat tummy and brand new cute little belly button.  Not everyone is blessed by mother nature, some of us have to go the artificial route.

I'll be honest -- you do look naked. Not that I really care, but that is just how it looks despite that fact that you wearing wearing clothing. The bump can be a funny place about nudity. I remember someone else posting a bump picture in her underwear with a little bit of pubic hair peaking out and it exploded all over the boards and even on to the nest.

While I didn't get stretch marks with my pregnancy but had them from getting fat in high school. They've largely faded away now and I barely notice them.

I didn't even realize that's how it looked until someone mentioned it to be honest, but I do agree now that I look at it haha. My bad!

While there was a lot of snark, I think the concern is the nudity (or what looks like nudity) on a public forum. I don't care what people post because I am pretty indifferent. I don't think you shouldn't have posted that because it offends me... it doesn't offend me. I think you shouldn't have posted it because there really could be old, greasy, disgusting men getting their jollies on because of that picture. If you don't care about that, then it's none of my business. It just would creep me out to know that's a possibility.

The sad reality, though, is that could be said about any of the pics we post: our pregnancies, our kids, NSPR, anything.

I hadn't even thought of that!

I'm definitely going to take it into consideration before I post anything else! Thank you!

i was upset by what they said about you. for one it is a pregnancy board, and they shouldn't get upset over that, wether you were nude or not. it is not like you showed your hoo-ha, or a$s or boobs! i saw nothing wrong with the picture.

their comments were really annoying.

It's nothing to be upset over! The woman who started going off about it threw it way out of proportion. Plus, everyone is entitled to their own opinions!

I'm very proud of my body and feel very comfortable in my skin so I figure if I show my stretchmarks but keep it decent and not slutty (or... not think it is at least... oops!) it should be okay. I wish the internet were more safe but it's definitely not. *sigh* Oh well, live and learn!

By the way... does it look like I'm carrying low? I could never tell haha.

Yah, I have to agree, it did look like you were naked when I first saw it....that being said, it didn't offend me in the least and I thought that the comment from the one poster in particular was uncalled for.  It sounded like she does that a lot though so I wouldn't let it bother you.  Some people are bored and live to stir up shiit on the bump.
