Wanted to share my experiences here to maybe help some of you who have been on both ends of the spectrum in terms of keeping things a secret or being open about it. 

When I was about 14 I was "caught" by my parents. I posted on a forum somewhere requesting pictures and used my email address. The request and email address posted to the forum, which was searchable through Google, and my dad found out, told my mom, and my sister found out. No one was mad, more like weirded out, and they didn't exactly make me feel okay about it, not shamed either. Maybe a year later I left open a window on the computer and my sister saw some images and said "That is sick." I'll never forget the shame and fear I felt. It has lived with me for a long time. I still feel awkward about the subject decades later around my family. 

Fast forward 20 years. I've done everything you could possibly do with this fetish. Dated pregnant women, been a natural sperm donor, hired escorts, public belly rubs, candid photography, you name it. I am way more comfortable in my skin about it. It helped me to not treat it as a shameful secret but rather as just a peculiar and random aspect of my personality. I almost always work the subject in when I'm getting to know a woman or dating, and I make it sound like the most normal thing ever. Like someone said here before, most people don't care, aren't weirded out, if anything they're just curious and want to know more. At worst they're just indifferent. "Oh totally, I'd be all over you when you're pregnant! Hottest thing ever". "Sure, pregnant women are gorgeous, something about it, can't resist that feminine vibe." "Damn, pregnant women really do glow, what is it about them? Didn't realize I find it so attractive." These kinds of statements communicate my "secret fetish" in a normalized way, so I don't have to be insecure or hide it. Plus, most women respond with "Yeah, I've heard that, seems like most men are into it". I have *never* gotten a weird reaction. I just mention it, and move on. 

Please never feel ashamed about this, even if someone confronts you. It's nobody's business to judge you and it's not your business to care what other people think. Just do you! Also, the language we use really has an effect. "Secret", "caught", "found out" doesn't help and further stigmatizes it. I'm here to support y'all if you ever need to talk through these things.

I've been caught more than once, and have almost been caught multiple times over the years.

When I was a kid discovered masturbation through pretending to be pregnant, I would usually pretend before I went to bed. Then one night my Mom caught me, she opened my bedroom door and saw me pretending, I had thought she had gone to bed.

I was last caught pretending again over a year ago, by my roommate. Though I think he already knew about my fetish at that time, might have seen my pregnancy stash folder on my PC at some point.

I had a second instagram account where i followed preggo pages. One time i opened the app while me and gf were togetter and panic switched to my personal account. She noticed and thought i was cheating on her, i had to come out to her and say that i have this fetish to show her i wasnt cheating. Luckily she took it really well and she even endulges me sometimes. Like after a big meal and a few beers she gets super bloated and pretends shes pregnant. As much as i appreciate her, i still want to have the real thing one of these days

Both yes.

My mom found it when I was a child and she get mad, she thought I was insane.
Then my ex found it when she was 7 months pregnant with our daughter. She didn't tell me until one day she caught me looking at a pregnant neighbour. It was horrible.

(June 16, 2015, 7:12 am)pacan1 Hey, guys. I've been looking at some threads and it seems like nobody's asked something like this.

There could be two sides of the question:
1) Has a pregnant woman found out that you have a pregnant fetish? If yes, how she reacted?
2) Have your parents found out that you have a pregnant fetish?


I can't say anything about the former, but about the latter, I had a cold-footed moment about 7 years ago: as we didn't have any internet at home, I used to download some pregnant pictures from google onto my USB stick and then, when at home, I saved it on my laptop. Then, one day, when we were going on a vacation or something, my mum suddenly asked "I found some pictures of pregnant women on my computer. Can you explain me this?" I literally froze to my seat, and tried everything to avoid the question. By pure and unbelievable luck she forgot about it and ever since I've been trying my best to keep my content away from their preying eyes. It now helps that we have internet at home as well. But I haven't been caught staring wrongly at pregnant woman by pregnant women.

How about you, guys and girls?

So last night my mom found out, and the surprising thing she wasn’t mad

Me and my parents are Christian, and mom told me that it is biblical to be fond of pregnant women as it is the birth of new life, and the birth and creation is a beautiful process (even though the details can be disgusting) and I was taken aback by what she said because I thought she’d look at me funny
