i was recently at a family function and one of my older cousins showed up was rather pregnant. i took some photos to remember it by and i was wondering if they was wrong of me.

That depends...
A lot of people will tell you that taking photos/videos of women (pregnant or not) is wrong. But are you hurting anyone?
I probably would have done the same thing in your situation, but unfortunately I have not encountered a cousin/aunt/relative while they were pregnant.

Yeah it's no big deal. Incest isn't the worst thing in the world, if that's how you're feeling about her

Its not that I am attracted to her. I guess its the pregnancy. Before she got pregnant i didn't really notice.

It's up to you. I think only you can answer what you're morally comfortable with (because morality isn't objective).

That said, I personally don't post pictures of my friends and family members who have been pregnant on this site (or any site) because it is something that *does* make me uncomfortable.

If that's the case, I mean... you already took them. And with a family function like that, there's other reasons to keep it as a "momento."

I still prefer not to do it because I feel that it puts a degree of separation between me and humanizing the woman in the picture, and I still have many pics to get off on over the internet. But I wouldn't exactly condemn the practice, either (Indeed, I'd be a hypocrite).

It's a moral gray area, and it's best for you to choose where you stand. On the one hand, nobody is getting hurt and it's not illegal to do so, and in the age of the internet the idea of privacy and having the expectation that nobody will post your image online without your permission is a fallacy. Conversely, you are still violating their privacy in doing so and they would probably really pissed off if they ever knew someone was saving their pictures to wank to later. Empathy is often enough to keep me from doing something that feels questionable.

There's not really a simple answer, and there's not really a "right" or a "wrong" answer, either. It's still really about you making an informed decision and deciding where you stand.

Taking a picture of someone you know (whether it be a relative, friend e.t.c) will naturally mean more to you and pull on your emotional strings more than a complete stranger looking upon the picture. At the end of the day, some people may feel perfectly fine in doing this and others may feel more uncomfortable. Everyone is different and I certainly wouldn’t hold anything against anyone for taking pictures of pregnant relatives. It's purely up to the photo-taker.

I've only ever had two pregnant cousins. The first lives the other side of the country and I'm lucky to see her once every few years now. She'd gone through the whole thing and I never saw her. This was about twelve years back. The only other pregnant cousin I had was about seven years ago but similarly, she'd already gone through the whole pregnancy without me seeing her. Strangely and rather embarrassingly, she'd announced the birth even before I’d found out she was pregnant... She did have a second a few years ago but I only ever saw her in the early stages and it was after the birth before I saw her again (we live around 30 miles apart). The only other cousin of child-bearing age I have lives locally to me but has absolutely no interest in them and hasn't long turned 40 - so it's highly unlikely she'll ever have any now.

At the back end of last year and the very start of this year, a work colleague of mine was pregnant, who's desk is literally ten feet away from mine. I was very tempted on at least two occasions to do my best in getting a candid picture but two things stopped me. Firstly, as I knew her and worked with her five days a week I did feel guilty in doing so (again, this is just personal preference - not for a second saying that you should feel the same). Secondly, there are two other desks in that vicinity, one of which faces me and I could have very easily have been caught. In that respect it simply wasn't worth the risk no matter how attractive her belly was. A shame really as the pictures I was thinking of taking would have been near enough ideal for another new story project I have ‘on the go’ at the moment. You’ll know what I mean when it's eventually posted...

In short, I have absolutely no issue if you decide to go ahead and try to get a candid shot but I also fully understand if you have doubts and rather not bother. I'm happy either way...! If you’re having doubts as it seems you are by questioning yourself, then personally I wouldn’t bother.

It wasn't wrong of you. People take photos at gatherings all the time. Nothing to be ashamed of.
