Painted belly for pregnant ladies

I moved to Jamaica with DHs work and was 6 months pregnant with my first baby. No mum or old friends.I
I made lots of new friends luckily. However my trunk with baby bits was delayed on the ship bringing them over.

I used.to play bridge with some American women of mixed ages, one morning a week. To my surprise they threw me a baby shower with lots of love, baby bits and bobs. All beautifully wrapped.if course. I always cherish the memory of those enthusiastically generous women in that alien environment.

At the time Jamaica was under the IMF and goods were restricted in the shops. I used the beautiful wrapping to decorate the baby's room. Thank you for my baby shower in 1978...never heard of one before that.

I saw that - but it's not a new thing. Belly painting has been around for decades. Not my thing at all but I knew someone that had it done almost a quarter of a century ago.

Not keen either on the US-style baby shower parties gift grab coming over the Atlantic either. I prefer the British tradition of new baby gifts and visits after the birth.

Looked ridiculous ..
Daft auto thing

Didn't look like fun to me ! Looked fragrance not quite decent

Sounds like fun.

Sorry for grammer error. Meant ‘of’.

Well, if you’re not pregnant I don’t think you need to worry about it.
