I don't tend to create a new thread from scratch, so let me know if this shouldn't be its own thread. I definitely have more from my personal collection to add, so it's not like it will stay one post forever. I also didn't know if it was kosher to necro one of the previous B&A threads. Again, let me know if this isn't proper etiquette.

This thread is a spin on before/after shots, I suppose, but with a little twist. I really love seeing preggos who look like they've had the ripcord pulled; once they got pregnant, something - especially their hips and butt, who doesn't love that? - vastly changed like they pulled the ripcord and started it inflating. It's not really about the belly blowing up, though a few earned their place here because their bellies are so huge on such a tiny frame. It's just the idea that the woman really expanded in some notable way. The example I always think of is Jennifer Garner, who used to joke on talk shows that she felt like she'd gotten pregnant in her butt because it blew up so much, making her athletic frame quite a bit more bottom-heavy.

So I hope you enjoy these. Most date back to 2012-2014. Porkchop and a few others may recognize them from MtB and a few other sites, but some of them are just ones I've gathered from all over and repackaged into little collages. I have a good amount of folders I still need to comb through as well. If there are duplicates, I hope you still like them, and most should be old enough that they're new once again.

Some more ladies who pulled the ripcord...

This is the last of the first batch. If the Powers that Be think this thread can survive on its own, I'll keep adding to it over the next few days.

This is an awesome thread! Would definitely like to see more

I love before and during and after pictures. Great thread.

Another crop of ladies who pulled the ripcord. As I said before, I especially love when pregnancy means that a woman's butt and thighs start packing on mass to offset her belly, and one of the legendary ripcord-pullers is in this batch. I also fixed one of the previous ones which didn't have a before picture for some reason. Sorry!

Two of my absolute favorites are here, the twinner posing in the same (tortured) dress and the tiny little beachside woman who blows up cutely in a bunch of directions. Then there are three or four ultra-fit ladies who flip the other way. One of them is actually a post-partum picture, but to be fair, her post-partum muscle is pretty much the same as her pre-partum fitness, except that I couldn't find good examples from before her pregnancy. Still, she impresses (I especially like that look she has of complete exhaustion, disbelief, or dismay at how huge she is).

I actually have many times more before/afters, but I tried to only pick the ones who fit the theme of "pulling the ripcord."

That's cool! I always prefer progressions that include some before pictures so you get an idea of how a woman has really progressed in her pregnancy BUT I love 'themed' threads as well. This one is adorable.

I think I've got some idea of what you're looking for, but apologies for any that don't quite meet your definition.
