I's so frick'n tired of the 'cult of baby' and the cult of pregnancy.. For every stupid cow who claims it as her greatest talent/ skill or whatever - it demeans all of our REAL accomplishments.. Nothing wrong with having kids - but quit trying to glorify it as something special or unique.. using the whole 'mother earth' crap to cover the rest of your inadequacies..

There are almost 7 BILLION people on the planet - NOTHING unique about you and YOUR baby..

ANY 15 year can have a baby.. and most of them would look better naked while doing it than all these other people..

Are you guys serious? I am genuinely surprised by some of the comments here. Lots of people think pregnant women are sexy (there's a whole porn niche to back me up on that one) and lots of women feel really sexy when pregnant.

You may not share those feelings, and that's cool, but c'mon. If you object to the way these fancy, expensive, heavily airbrished women's bodies look, take a look at some real women's bodies and then wish that the celeb pictures here were all your delicate constitutions had been exposed to.

@sassydeerrun: Yes, I would believe it. It's a pretty well kept secret that many, many men find this to be a turn-on. And the closest to a threesome they will ever have.

You have to understand that pregnancy is about the wildest, most fascinating thing that can happen to your body. It's easy to get a little obsessed with yourself and how you look because it all just seems bizarre and you're changing every day. You also want to check out every other pregnant woman and see how she looks, moves, etc. So we might not want to assume that these images celebrating pregnant celebrities are for men to look at and be titillated by. They can just be an expression of how the woman happens to be feeling herself and enjoying an amazing experience.

What a world, what a world...we shouldn't have given them the vote. Everything's been downhill ever since.

It's more that somehow during the 40's/50's or some such time pregnancy became yucky and gross. About the same time hospital delivery became the preferred method, and then pregnancy became a disease instead of just something people did.
So now that celebrities are having babies publicly (instead of just having a 1-2 year career lull/disappearance), now it's OK to be pregnant. I guess we should all just be glad that the world population didn't drop to nothing in the meantime. Obviously that was due to teen hormones, free love and inheritence clauses. (Hollywood documentaries tell us this.)

Not that I chose to publicize myself in cow-form. I allowed three photos to be taken (ok about 12 but 9 were immediately erased) because my parents live 3000 miles away. Then my own mother walked by me in the airport because even my face was so different she didn't recognize me. She said I looked Korean. (I'm Polack-Welsh-Dish Drain remnants.)

i once saw a vhs of preggers porn (on the shelf) at a porno shop entititled, "Ready to Drop". naaaasty.

@jaker277: She has redeemed herself a little with me after Ironman.

Gwyneth is the shiznash and she so nice in ironman.

My homemade chili can produce the same effect, even in men. Guaranteed!

Another magazine exploits an underage child on their cover to sell issues. How many fetuses are reading Vogue in their second trimester anyway? This is a cynical ploy to exploit obsessive interest in the youngest and most vulnerable. Covering the child with the mother's belly does not excuse anything! We all know the kid is naked under there. Worst of all, the image is designed to glorify unprotected sexual intercourse. What kind of message does this send to young people, women, and impressionable prenatal children?

@OldTowneTavern: i'm not so hot with surfboards and skates, but i am more than willing to give the nunchucks and vampire-slaying a fair shake. maybe if my arm gives out when trying to power the stake through the ribcage, i can use my buddha-belly to ram it through instead.

Stung

I think pregnancy action photos are the new frontier. Pregnant women surfing. Pregnant women on mechanical bulls. Pregnant women on roller skates like a Linda Ronstadt cover. Pregnant women flying through the air with nunchucks. Pregnant women staking vampires. Yes, I think this is the future.

OldTowneTavern

It reminds me of the two pregnant woman porn magazines I saw years ago (just the covers not the inside pix, the magazines were in sealed bags) -
MILKY MAMAS and the classy POPPIN' N' MILKIN'.

Topsyjane

We need a nude preggers Grazer pic. C'mon, somone...photoshop us a legend!

Shumina

Ewww. Enough of the self-obsession, already.

BlackFlag55

For crying out loud. What is the message of these photos--"Come f--k me; I'm having another man's baby"?

ihateyourescalade

@sassydeerrun: They think it's sexy because of their primordial desire to procreate. It's a sign of obvious fertility.

Miss Anne Thrope

My sister in law took pictures of me in a shirt that showed my bare belly two weeks before I had my son. I have it at work in a digit picture frame as a part of a slideshow. You would not believe the guys that see it that think it is sexy. Some of them wished their wives or girlfriends had done it.

sassydeerrun

Pregnancy and childbirth are two of the most natural gifts that nature has given to females. Nothing shameful or yucky about it. It's just that it's taken pregnant celebrities to make it okay to show it off, or for even the fashion/garment industries to make maternity clothes that don't make pregnant women feel that they have to hide their growing tummies beneath fugly tunics adorned with gigantic bows. I don't think that these photos are meant to be sexy, by the way. I think they're meant to honor the pregnant form and sell a shitload of magazines.

TryThisAtHome

i'm just sayin', the fact that the only comment about a father (Seal) made above, and then referring to the child as "spawn", could be seen by some as a teeny bit racist . . .

majikthise

Oh man, all of these pictures just scream...

"Crazy, Neurotic, Narcissistic, delusional, and I better have a lot of money for child therapy, because just by the fact that I think this looks sexy shows that I'm going to be a Mom that royally fucks up their kid..."

And the editors at Jezebel wonder why there's so much misogyny on the blogs..Hello? Isn't this the kind of shit that asks for it?

Pay_Me_Or_Pay_Me_No_Attention

@TheStarterWife: Lot's of things get bigger...boobs, belly's and sometimes even your feet. Just think of what it's going to do to Paris' size 11's if she ever spawns.

poltergeist

Aren't they all just....milking it for all it's worth?

CourageousCoward

Rinna's not pregnant. Posing for the cover of BBW (Big, Beautiful Woman) for fatty fetishists

plasticene

@it takes a train to cry: yeah, but like the sequel to rosemary's baby, where rosemary isn't horrified by the thought of selling out to evil/satan in order to get success. They could call it "Living La Vida Lohan"

brechtgirl

@wring: Hold the phone...Your areolas get bigger? And no one has warned us about this until now?

I feel faint...

TheStarterWife

Ick and ick! Lisa Rinna is just vile. Who wants to see them naked and pregnant anyway? This trend is so lame.

Miss Anne Thrope

oh lisa rinna, my areolas haven't shrunk since i popped one out :(

wring

It really has become such a cliché, but at least with Aguilera I learned that drag queens can carry.

NoWireHangers

@brechtgirl: Or like a ceremony from Rosemary's Baby.

it takes a train to cry

@naugahydeinplainsight: Yes, but three rights make a left.

CourageousCoward

@brechtgirl: Agreed. Is she sticking out her tongue?

Stupid People Don't Understand

@CourageousCoward: Ten wrongs to do not make a right.

That Heidi Klum photo is scary. Like part of some crazy pregnant fetish lava lamp

brechtgirl

Is this now considered a "right of passage?"

CourageousCoward

Good lord. It's enough to make you never want to get pregnant... THAT'S what happens to your body?

Hardly seems fair.

TheStarterWife

Lisa Rinna looks like lunch to me.

it takes a train to cry

Boy has this gotten old or what.

AuntPenny

Gee, you can feel the love here. Forget the porno/nude actress angle--very few women in porn ever do shoots while pregnant, and for the most part it isn't very good at all. Ask any woman who is 8 months along whether it would be comfy doing multiple positions on a hard bed under hot stage lights. Many of the Hollywood (and surprisingly, the adult) community prefer to keep their childbirth a secret since there is still such a societal taboo against it. However, pregnant women still want to feel sexy and alluring, and their men (contrary to popular belief) worship them accordingly. As one poster said, it's documenting a stage in their lives they may not see again. It's nice to know my BS-O-Meter was accurate--so much outright hostility towards anything resembling pregnancy, good lord.

From guys who have no idea what it's about: "She's a fat pig." Here's a tip: Women, no matter how thin do gain weight when pregnant. I have to chuckle when I talk to an obvious breast man, but bring up the subject of lactation and he's about to barf. YOU NOOB, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE FOR!!!

From "girls" who've never had kids: "OMG my body is going to go through that, NFW!" Honey, hope that you marry a guy who appreciates what you put your body through to have his offspring; if not, get used to some lame-o drinking his beer and complaining about your swollen feet, stretch marks and saggy boobs when all you wanted to do was have his child. Ingrates...

From people who have had kids and do find it natural and erotic in it's own way: Think of it as giving those who can't appreciate it a little electronic birth control.
