pregnancy pics.

So 4 months into my pregnancy I had posted on my Facebook that I will not post a picture of my belly. People were asking constantly. An it got worse these last few weeks. I'm now seven months. So me annoyed I posted, "4 months into my pregnancy I posted that I will not post a picture of my belly. I don't care if you're my husband asking me to post a picture or even the president. Please stop asking me cause my answer will not change. To me that is a private special type of deal. Please respect my wishes." I think I said that in the nicest way I possibly could. I am very blunt so it's a little bit harder for me to actually watch what I say. But I'm not comfortable posting a picture like that. To me it's a special private thing. An my husband is fine with that. We agreed we're going to take a glamour shot together an keep it private. But I got called a heartless "B" for posting what I posted. An apparently I'm being rude an inconsiderate? Am I wrong?

I thought you were very tactful in your wording. It's not heartless to not want to show your bump to the world. Some people are very nosey. They think that pregnancy is for everyone who knows the pregnant person and they have no boundaries.

If they want to see your belly they could see you in person couldn't they? Sometimes people aren't that close to people they are friends with on facebook. And pregnancy is very personal, I don't think you sounded rude at all

I post pics of my belly like once a week lol I don't mind, and love hearing all the congrats every time:-)  but I don't think its rude at all, it is personal and not everyone is comfortable with it, heck my bf hates that I do cause even when its just my big belly he thinks others will look at me sexually lol.

I'm pretty open and happy about my pregnancy, but I've only posted the ultrasound picture on facebook so my family could see my baby.
I'm not sure what stand point I'll have on posting belly pics, but whatever you decide is what you decide.

I am the same way.  Only person who gets belly pics is their dad and that's because I had to go a while without seeing him.  I post pictures of the babies but not of my belly.   I am like I didn't show my belly before why show it now? You aren't looking at the babies you're looking at MY belly lol.  It's personal.   I don't think you we're being rude in any way.  :)
