Is Pregnancy Becoming Social Media Content?

I believe pregnancy is beautiful, and women carrying a child deserve respect. But I worry that some maternity photos have shifted from celebrating a new life to seeking attention online, with frequent poses and revealing outfits turning the baby bump into content for likes and comments. I am not against women enjoying their pregnancies, taking photos or keeping memories. I simply believe there is a difference between celebrating a bump and exposing more than you are comfortable sharing publicly. Photos can be kept for family and personal memories without being posted for everyone to see. Modesty is not shame, and privacy is not backwardness. A woman can be confident and proud of her pregnancy while choosing to cover up. To me, a baby bump is not a show, and a child’s early memories deserve care and privacy.
