“Bloat shaming”? Post your bump! Let us be happy!

JJ

So i have been seeing a lot of early pregnancy bump pics which are so nice, and I just posted my first “bump” pic (subsequently deleted it) when I got a comment saying “lol” (not sure what’s so funny- laughing at me?) and the person said it was “just bloat”.... why do people insist on ruining other peoples joy? I think it’s wonderful that people want to show off the miracle of pregnancy, and if people want to call it a baby bump then let them! It IS caused by being pregnant with a baby after all! As women we should be more kind to each other, especially first trimester when we are generally more emotional (maybe that’s why I’m ranting)... but I want to encourage everyone to POST YOUR BEAUTIFUL BUMPS!
