I am like every other teen in America. I look and read into what's going on on the red carpet. I look at how the famous people look and obviously have my opinions. However, lately I have been looking at baby bump pictures. For some odd reason, it seems as if there is another minor baby boom. Every corner you turn you see another pregnant person. Just recently, I was on a social media website and scrolled through my news feed to see four posts talking about or showing a picture having to do with pregnancy.
It seems that every pregnant person that has a social media site posts pictures of their baby bump, but when is it acceptable to start? While documenting your pregnancy by taking pictures of your stomach is perfectly fine as soon as you find out, posting pictures of it is a different story.
Recently it was released that Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher were not only engaged, but expecting a baby. I personally found this exciting since I used to watch them act together on "That 70's Show". Then I thought about how tiny she was and ended up wondering what she would look like. I then looked up how far along she is. When I found the picture "revealing" her baby bump, I was not impressed.
Normally when you see the revealing of the baby bump picture, there is a bit of a bump to show. However, this time you could barely tell that she was pregnant. While anyone can post pictures of themselves at any time, calling it a baby bump reveal photo when you are barely even showing is a bit of a let down.
Therefore, I have come up with the conclusion that there is a time and a bump size to post your "baby bump reveal" photo. There should be an obvious bump there that you can see without squinting your eyes. If you are on the red carpet, it is easier to see the bump in an outfit that accents it. A big poofy dress or a dark sleek dress does not help you.
There is another option if you are planning on doing home photos or the big reveal in the end to document your happy pregnancy. I saw something cool recently where the couple took a photo of their bare stomach from a side view every month and creatively put it into a collage. There were multiple ideas and themes and they were all extremely cute. By posting about your baby bump this way, it not only keeps your pregnancy more private, but you don't keep people wondering if it is just the poparazzi talking or if you are really pregnant.
