Thank you all for sharing your stories and the outpouring support. I honestly didn’t think that this would get that much attention but I’m glad it did and I’m glad you all have experienced something similar. It’s good to know that I’m not alone in thinking all this and through reading each of your stories it’s definitely helped me realize that it isn’t that big of a deal. That being said, I don’t think my brain will ever let me fully think that, but a quick click back to this thread will help remind me. Thank you <3

Side note, I’ve noticed the sexualization of pregnancy slowly creep out as well. I agree that many people quickly turn to thinking we are in it for the baby itself when in reality it’s everything but that. I have the feeling that’s what some of my “friends” thought when I accidentally revealed it.

I deleted the original image because I was mortified at the time and wanted to erase all evidence. I even deleted it from google photos which backs up all my photos on my phone, so unfortunately I won’t be able to share it.

No worries mate. You did what you felt was right at the time. The good thing is you can move forward and continue to enjoy preggos. The critics can go to hell.

I agree.  I always told the haters on the football team in high school that atleast I'm getting laid, even of she is pregnaant or on the rag.  (I was the long snapper so I was probably lower than the equipment manager on the team heiarchy ).  As an adult it is dont knock it until you try it.  But I have only had to use that once.

just don't tell your parents who are stuck in 1900. tell them a false fetish. like foot fetish to piss them off.

I know how your feeling.  I went golfing this morning with a couple of dads from my kids school today. Somehow the topic of childbirth came up and I said all 5 times I was in the delivery room I was looking right at the Vagina.  (I have 4 kids)  so that drew a look.  I just said how before I met my wife I met a friend who was 9 months pregnant and she went into labor while I was with her.  Was able to avoid the i had sex with her before labor part but it was close.

Don't let shame be used against you for something like an innocuous fetish. People love to pounce on perceived weakness, so they'll go harder if they see if you ashamed.
