Mruffruff,

The notion that "it's the most natural thing" irks me in that...so is farting and belching. Doesn't mean I need tp be exposed to it. I understand it's a joyful time in THEIR lives. Doesn't mean it should be shoved down my throat. I think that a pregnant woman that dresses appropriatley is hardly 'ashamed" of her belly. Just considerate of others. I'm finding more and more that people in general are oblivious to others. "It's all about me". This extends to everything mentioned here. Even notice that the people who tend to like to show skin are usually the ones you'd LEAST like to see??

Personally, I have been very disappointed in maternity clothes since getting pregnant. They are tight and are made to show off the 'bump.' I don't really understand why pregnant women would want to dress like that. I have some maternity clothes, but for the most part I have been wearing regular tee shirts with maternity jeans or sweats. I just want to be comfortable (not to mention I feel like a huge elephant ). If someone wants to flaunt it all like that that's their choice, but certainly not mine. Then again, I was never one to wear short skirts and tiny little shirts, even when I was thin and would have actually looked good in them. It's just not me.

I also have no problem with breastfeeding done in public. It's much healthier for the baby. However, I do believe it can be done modestly.
