You can't make this shiit up

AnneR15

So tomorrow is FI's company's annual Halloween party. The theme is Bootlegger's Ball, and I'm going as a redneck shotgun bride (FI is going as a shotgun wedding preacher). So I've been looking for a simple way to fashion a relatively realistic pregant belly.

And you guys, it is disturbing the number of how-to articles out there on faking a pregnancy! Here are just a few gems:

-Adopt other "pregnant activities" such as food cravings (try pickles and ice cream with hot salsa on top) and nesting (clean everything, all the time). If you want, get mood swings. Those can be pretty fun!

-Try faking morning sickness by discreetly making fake puke and then "vomit" in the toilet while making gagging noises.

-Adopt a newborn baby after your "pregnancy" to make the story realistic.


Seriously, what is wrong with people?!

Oh my goodness! Wish this was a joke!

And this is why we see those gruesome stories about crazy women kidnapping pregnant women wanting to take their babies from them.

What. The. Hell. This is just as bad as those pro-anorexia websites!

I heard this too! She went on a talk show and her belly looked like it deflated what she sat down and it was moving really awkwardly.

Right?? Well, apparently, they are fun when you fake them... Yay for screwing with people who love and trust you!

Ugh.

Ugh.  I don't think there's anything as bad as the pro-ana "movement".

But yeah, this is pretty twisted.

Well, the writers of "Glee" had to get their info somewhere!

I suspect there wouldn't be a need for <strong>fake</strong> puke if someone was forcing down pickles, ice cream, and salsa at the same time... :\

This whole thing is bizarre.

I've been meaning to tell you something... 



As far as Beyonce, I don't think that she is faking.  I do think that she has added some padding to look better.  There is this awkward stage where normal clothes look off and maternity clothes don't quite fit right.  If I was going on national television, I would want to look my best and would have no problem padding my belly a little.

A lady in northern Kentucky once did these things, then found a real pregnant lady in the next town using the Babies R Us online registry. She pretended someone had sent a gift to her by mistake, called the real preggo, and said she'd bring the gift by her house (so got the real preggo's address). A few weeks later, she claimed the same thing - gift sent to her by mistake. This time she told the preggo to come by her house and pick it up - where she attacked the preggo and tried to steal the baby. (The real preggo got away and the baby was fine.)

Oh - and Babies R Us has since changed its registry policies. Gee you think?

Now THAT you can't make up!

I watch a shiit ton of crime shows (and goofy court shows), and you'd be surprised at the number of women who fake pregnancies. It's more BSC than pre-planning your wedding!!! I just don't know why you would ever do that! Why?!?! WHY!?!? And I'm not sure I can chalk it ALL up to a mental health condition. But I would say the vast majority (that aren't for a performance art piece) are from something off in the wiring.

While this is creepy it is in no way as bad as pro ana sites IMO.  Some people want to fake it when they are adopting, its weird but there isn't much harm.  No one who is pro ana is not harming themselves.

I have come across a few crazies like this. Some girls did it for attention in high school and one was trying to keep a man around. It's like the ultimate form of BSC.

That is just messed up....

kellyt89

I'm sort of in love with your Halloween costume idea Anne. That sounds hysterical!

Also, there are some reeeeally messed up people out there. Wasn't there an episode of Private Pratice where some woman stole one of the character's baby?
