INORITE?! Who puts photos like that on a CHRISTMAS CARD? I can guarantee that it made the Baby Jesus cry.

Heh. I've seen a lot of those on awkward family photos before. Honestly, people are so weird. Imagine having one of those framed in your living room...awkward in deed.

LizzyTish88

I get wanting to have these pictures for yourself or to show your children, but I think that sending them out for Christmas cards is absurd. I just don't get some people..

bethsmiles

Those were creepy. Some were worse than others but I don't get why any of the women need to have their shirt off...you can tell they are pregnant even if they have all their clothes on. I mean what are you going to do with you naked pictures? Not show them to people I hope...the whole thing is just weird to me

motoLyn

I've seen some tasteful ones done, BUT none like those.  I'm sorry if I recieved one as a x-mas card I think would have a "WTF" moment when I opened the envelope. 

nottheonlydreamer44

I seriously was JUST talking about the freakyness of pregnancy pictures. I just find them so awkward and weird. But those took the cake. Just... who does that?!

The beach ball was awesome though!

CASK85

psh, this shiit is classy, ladies. I don't know what you're on about. 

lnvane00

OMG!!!!! LMAO!

See, I get taking pregnancy photos in stretch pants and a sports bra - for posterity sake.

I can even see framing a picture with the soon-to-be parents that highlights the pregnant belly.

I don't get how being pregnant makes nude shots any more tasteful or acceptable to send to your friends and family.  I think the writer summed it up correctly - if it wouldn't be acceptable to show people or frame this sort of picture WITHOUT a pregnant belly, nothing changes just because you are expecting.

Completely agree. Especially sending them out to friends and family on Christmas cards?! No thanks!

Oh!  That makes the post make much more sense! haha

leia1979

I don't even want to look at these. It sounds kind of NSFW. Also pregnant women creep me out.

We went to a waterpark once and there was a heavily pregnant lady wearing a bikini. Yes, she has the right to wear it, but I would really rather not see it.

SeaTea02

Can anyone explain to me the watermelon and handgun? 

redheadtmk

lmao I am going to show this to my BF who is into photography and convince him I want similar shots done when we have kids. he is so easy to mess with and its so much fun.plus its always nice to remind him there are crazier people than me out there.

jemmini6

I must say though, I'm impressed with the naked handstand.  LOL. 

I find progression pregnancy pictures cute, but they certainly don't need to be done professionally.  And definitely not like this.  I totally agree with the naked pictures, if you wouldn't pose naked and show your family when you aren't pregnant, why on earth would you do it when you are.  These are the type of people that would probably send a Christmas DVD of a full v-jay shot of the birth.  Gross.

mzm153

I think maternity pictures are cute, but these ones are really sick, specially the one with the naked man upside down.

ekathleen684

Fis cousin had a picture similar to the second from the last pic on her photobucket. Hers was a in front of a mirror shot though.

PaigeMcC

ahahahahahaha, I was looking at these earlier and they cracked me up.  Who in their right mind takes a nekkid photo with their huge arse belly hangin' all out?! Seriously, people! There are some lovely pregnancy shots that can be taken...my friend K had this really nice shoot with her husband and they got some great stuff...fully clothed.

These people are effed.

marleylikeair

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. I, too, am traumatized.

MLekathLEEN

Fis cousin had a pic similar to the second from the last one. Hers was in a mirror and I'm pretty sure they weren't just posing.

CvilleClaire

I don't understand the pictures with firearms.  What's the thinking there? 

The one with the dead turkey is just beyond comprehension.  But it sure does give me some GREAT ideas for my engagement shoot!  Whoo Hoo!

hetshup

Look, I have a pooch all the time. When there is a baby in there, it's ok to have a pooch. 

DAMMIT, I WANT TO SHOW MY POOCH TO ALL. 

Pooch

I actually like the pointe one. If I was really into ballet (ie- dance teacher, not just my taking a liking to it) I would totally do something similar.

EDIT:: I didn't get to the updated ones.. Holy mother of....
