HBamama2b. You are right about intent. The photo was innocently posted and should be received as such ! :-)

lm45678 · November 2015

I don't think this is the same as shaming women who are breastfeeding in public at all! They are feeding their baby not posting a pic of them in their underwear.

I don't mean to be disrespectful OP, but it's a little showy for my taste (as was the one in black VS cheeky panties). Especially as PP said, there maybe make lurkers on here whose fetish is pregnant women.

Doing a side shot in the mirror or wearing full clothing and pulling your shirt up to show bump is way different than posting a picture of yourself in underwear on the Internet.

The only person seeing me like that is my DH or my OB.

Mr0616 · November 2015

um @atlast111 - do you know pay attention to the real world? There are crazy people everywhere. And most of the crazier ones wouldn't be bothered with normal internet trash. And the title is bump pic - I don't think they have to search very far. Anyone can click this image and save it to their hard drive. And then use it for whatever they want after that.

And to @gray51015

How do we know it is only women on this board? What if there is some nasty lurker who is now getting his rocks off to a picture of a little bump and some panties. Yuck. No thanks. We could have seen OP's cute little bump just as easily in leggings or jeans or work out shorts..

It's up to OP if she wants to worry about nasty lurkers getting their rocks off to her pic. You are not her mother. There is no doubt in my mind that sick people use others peoples pictures for unintended purposes all the time. This issue is exactly the reason that I do not have social media accounts such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. I am sure there are disgusting people who use pictures of people's children to get their rocks off too but people still post pictures of their kids all the time. My point is that there are creeps everywhere and the Internet makes it easy for them to access people's pictures for unintended purposes. However OP is a grown a** woman and its up to her to decide if she wants to worry about someone creeping on her photo.

If you don't want to look, why keep coming back to the post? Sorry y'all, nothing indecent here. I feel like this is the same kind of shaming ladies get for breastfeeding in public. 'I can see the curve of your boob above that babies head you filthy overly-exposed hussy! I know you have a nipple there!' shouts the woman with the low-cut, too-small top and push up bra.... Am I right? The point isn't the attire, it's whether the intent is sexual or not. Neither the black sporty poster or this op are intending to be sexy. They are being proud. I'm on team 'rock your roll'.

Either way--it is not supportive of our fellow bumpie OP to attack or make fun of her attire, even if you don't approve of it. This is a support forum, be supportive!

They can be proud and put a damn pair of pants on. No one is attacking her, just giving a reminder that pants are a good idea when posting pictures on an open forum on the internet.

We keep coming back to respond to the new comments, it jumps to the newest comment when you open the thread so its not like we're scrolling past the picture every time.

WSU2015.....Thanks. Was about to say the same thing. Her pics, her choice. Nicely put!

Sure. And it's also a public forum, where you can't dictate the responses you might get when you post something obnoxious.

I agree with you 100% on this. Each poster is entitled to have a response no matter what it be. The decision making police posts taking the Internet safety stance were particularly obnoxious. Hence the response.

Congrats and all, but let's not have panty pics, please.

Atlast111 · November 2015

This thread actually made me wish I owned a thong ( you call them strings in America?) for my next shoot. ;-) I'm actually pretty conservative myself but I am happy to live and let live. If the bump admin wants to make it a rule that no underwear is worn so be it. I'm just not happy to see a woman get picked on over it and be made to feel like we are back at school. Memes do not unbitchify a comment! Let bump administration set up the thread and make the rules.

HBamama2B · November 2015

Lol. Gah, ladies! This is why I never address the gag patrol. I find the "policing" (aka bullying, nannying, controlling) way more obnoxious than the damn chonies.

alysemci · November 2015

@sdLindenberg VS snob all the way. Bra and underwear. I don't mess around

Underwear posts, simply put, do not go over well here. Not just June 16, but all the boards, going WAY back. There are a few things that are guaranteed to get you flamed: the aforementioned panty post, use of the word "preggers," old wives' tale gender prediction stuff...there's more. That's why it's highly recommended to lurk for awhile before you go active. You can get a feel for the group norms. Are you free to post that stuff anyway? Sure. But know what you're getting into.

You're going to get "flamed" if you use the word "preggers"? Is this real life?

Lmao. Wait. Is it okay to say "lmao" ..or... should I check the March to May boards to be sure.. ?

adiaz132003 · November 2015

Oy ve. Deal with it! We are allowed to let off a little snark! She's in her underwear. If I saw a woman take her pants off and show me her belly in public I'd tell her to put some clothes on too. And as for comparing it to breastfeeding, you NEED to have your boob out to feed, you DONT need to take your pants off to show a baby bump. Period!

You can say whatever you want. Just letting you know what tends to inspire snark. If you don't mind a little snark, go for it. Certainly livens things up.

Seriously are you 5 years old? She's trying to do you a favor, letting you know what has, historically, not gone down well on this site. Each baby site has its own vibe, some are cool with certain things, others are not. Those are things that typically aren't okay with the personalities that are drawn to this site. Say thank you and move on instead of being a sarcastic child.

I think the main problem was, immediately it started with snarky comments instead of tasteful and helpful comments on what is okay to some on this particular site. I think a lot of childish comments were made and a lot of others followed suit and acted very rude and childish. I thought we were all here to support each other. We all have different opinions and views on many situations, that doesn't mean you are right. And juSt because it has been frowned upon before, doesn't mean things don't change. It is very upsetting to see the catty responses, hoping we can start supporting each other as I know I am not the only one wit changing emotions and I would be really hurt to read some of the comments if I was OP.

CourtJack · November 2015

Oh this got interesting.

If you're posting pictures of yourself in your underwear in a forum that you haven't even significantly participated in yet-I'm fairly certain you can take a little flack without feeling shamed.

Maybe that's just me.

And nobody was outraged by any stretch. Snark over a stranger posting in their underwear online doesn't make me prudish and I don't need advice on how I'm going to feel when I'm naked and in labour. That actually made me laugh. I've done labour twice already. But thanks for the heads up. I'll keep it in mind.

Very well stated.

jmohio · November 2015

You have to know with this many pregnant women reading it and you are asking for comments you are going to get all different types of feedback. You can't get offended by someone else's opinion. If you are, sorry to say but you might not want to be on a pregnancy board.

I will stipulate to never complaining about an underwear photo as long as the underwear is EPIC.

RMLandy · November 2015

I was waiting for someone to say it but I didn't want to be the one. It's just not that hard to put on some pants first.

Wyattnash00 · November 2015

This thread has made my day. My first thought when I opened am, was 'really, half naked stranger in their undies, too much'. Has the OP even responded again? So I. With the snarky ladies. I'll be keeping my bloated belly under wraps for a few more weeks, well it will always be under wraps:)

NicknShan · November 2015

You can't say preggers. But you better mother effing use the word blump or be flamed.

Thank you all for the humor tonight. What took so long.

kmarie833 · November 2015

Sorry to all the women who I offended by showing my bump in my undies. I I have deleted the photo. Thanks to the mums who tried to stick up for me, I appreciate it.
Just to give you an idea, where I live, it is beyond hot right now. I was in my undies and baggy long top at home running around after my beautiful little toddler. I sat down for 5 mins and took a moment to appreciate the gift of life growing in my belly and took a pic. I didn't think it would offend but I will never post on here again as to not accidentally offend again. Thanks all

Ha! Yes! Just did this too, DH isn't smiling. He thinks it's the hormones and told me to snap out of it.

HBamama2B · November 2015

@kmarie833 I apologize for the treatment you received. No one should feel they can't speak or share openly in this forum. I thought your bump was beautiful and it made me excited for my upcoming week 11. I hope you feel comfortable to post again in the future, but understand your decision.
