Do you all feel like we are in a "golden age" right now of pregnancy photos? I remember when I first got into this fetish (years ago) a woman photographing herself pregnant was still somewhat "taboo;" you'd get the standard "here's a side shot of me wearing a dress at nine months pregnant" and that was it. Mind you these photos were on film and you'd see them in a photo album, not in the privacy of your own home. When you went out in public pregnant women would wear maternity clothes that were essentially parachutes with flower patterns on them.
Nowadays, between the Millennial generation in their childbearing years and a number of ways are available to post photos to the public -- digital, easily taken photos that are instantly made -- on the internet. Plus the pregnant form is becoming less taboo and more mainstream. Pregnant women now rock dresses that show their figure and wear bikinis to the beach. In the old days pregnant women wore regular damn clothes to the beach and didn't swim.
I remember being in high school and a fellow student - who was maybe eight or nine months pregnant - stood up from her desk to take off her hoodie sweatshirt, which made her shirt under it ride up for a few seconds exposing her belly and the linea nigra until she pulled down the shirt. That was like the highlight of my year. Now you can get online and see examples of the same thing all over, usually voluntarily by the pregnant woman herself.
Golden Age: agree or disagree?
