Is it me or is anyone else fed up with seeing pictures of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex holding onto her bump, it has been constant since day1 of the announcement.now I am not averse to seeing pregnancy bumps , in fact it can be lovely,but I truly feel it’s almost as if she is acting all the time. It is starting to really grate on me , I wish someone would tell her to stop!!!

I have to agree. She is so competitive and wants the limelight. The fact she is always pushing for the limelight even upsurging Princess Eugene's wedding day with the planned "on pregnant" line really sickened me of her and her antics. To the point l cannot stand her.
Has she not learnt it is better to be humble & in the background of the Royals. In her proper place within the hierarchy. I knew this would happen. Just so that her ego is pampered to.....
I'm sorry but Princess Diana, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have the people's Love and no one on this earth will ever take that from us.
Megan is an actor nothing more. So desperate for the leading role that she will NEVER. Have!!!!

I never held my bumps like that, to me it looks like posing for the camera.
With my fist baby I could often be found with both hands on my back, I had the most terrible sciatica. Second time I always had a toddler on one hip which had to be hung on to.

I had a lovely maternity dress. And a very pretty smock. Much nicer than a tight tee shirt showing belly button outline. Eurgh.

shock I only meant on the other thread. I wasn't being rude about her figure!

Gonegirl Wed 19-Dec-18 11:42:00

Which bump is this? This one or the other one?

How times change .When my 'bump' became obvious out came my mothers sewing machine and within days she managed to provide me with a couple of 'tents '! or 'smocks' as they were known as . It was if it was a crime to show you were pregnant.It is nothing these days for a pregnant woman to wear a bikini when on the beach which I have seen many times where I live.

I remember those voluminous maternity clothes Merlotgran heaven forfend we should show any sign of pregnancy.

My daughters cat was quite obsessive about her baby bump.
Once she had the baby, the cat wouldn't settle unless she gave him a bib to sleep on.

You mentioning the cat callgirl reminded me of something my Dd told me.
Her friend called round who was a few months pregnant and my Dd's cat who was asleep suddenly woke up and walked purposefully towards her friend, stared hard at her,then jumped up on to the settee and placed a paw on her tummy, while staring into her eyes.
Very strange!

The cat used to lie across my bump, then jump up quickly when the baby moved!

I hope her waters weren't about to break.

Like this?

annep Tue 18-Dec-18 23:31:43

Yes, it made a very useful tray ?. I don't remember cradling it but I'm sure people do. I'm not interested in her any more than any other pregnant woman. no difference.

Jalima1108 Tue 18-Dec-18 23:08:42

Remember balancing a cup of tea (with saucer) on the bump having put your aching feet up?
that's what started off my contractions second time round merlotgran - the fairly hot tea spilt all over me!

Jalima1108 Tue 18-Dec-18 23:07:23

Perhaps she's suffering from what I did during my first pregnancy, which I have only found out since was ligament pain.

I had to wear a special girdle type garment which cradled the bump because that gave support and helped alleviate the pain.

It only happened with the first pregnancy.

Oh my word for heavens sake leave the young lass alone I remember holding my bump at times and stroking it and why not ? If she wasn’t someone would come on here and say ‘she never touches her bump she’s obviously not bonding with her unborn baby’ that poor lass can’t breathe without being critisised

merlotgran Tue 18-Dec-18 22:47:30

Remember balancing a cup of tea (with saucer) on the bump having put your aching feet up?

Then quickly having to grab it because the baby started kicking? grin

Anniebach Tue 18-Dec-18 22:32:50

It is the ‘in thing’ to do now, quite a few celebrities release photographs of them holding their baby bump..

I didn’t , but loved sitting with hands on tummy when my babies were moving.

How very strange that a subconscious action should trigger such a reaction in you.

merlotgran Tue 18-Dec-18 22:26:09

Maybe she's afraid it will drop out and when she starts having it she'll wish it would.

I don't remember cradling my bump. It was difficult to find under the voluminous tents we wore in the sixties. grin

mcem Tue 18-Dec-18 22:16:32

Well my dear Dil is doing exactly the same (baby due around same time) and it doesn't bother me in the slightest!
Didn't you do it too?

aggie Tue 18-Dec-18 21:35:37

I muttered the same , then felt mean !
