Pregnancy Photo Series -- Part 1

One of my favorite (*cough* least favorite *cough*) things is all of the crazy pregnancy photos floating around on the web. Thankfully, my Facebook friends have posted mostly tasteful photos (save for a few disturbing exceptions) but there is a wide world of wacko out there.

This is the beginning of a multi-part series of photos I love to hate. Watch for other episodes that will be woven throughout our regularly scheduled programming.

1.) The "I'm So Comfortable in My Own Skin" shot.

Don't get me wrong. I'm all about self confidence. I appreciate the beauty of the human body. And I have been known to be less modest than some. I have to remind myself when it is and is not appropriate to walk around in my sports bra. But, that's just it, I attempt to have a sense of decorum, however fleeting. What is it about pregnancy that makes it ok to share belly boudoir shots with the world? Barely concealed breasts on any other occasion might earn a higher FCC rating.

I am actually still able to kind of appreciate the beauty of the human body in the above photos (despite the fact that pregnant bellies wig me out--maybe I'm growing or whatever). However, in the rest of the examples, that is not the case.
