So today let us talk about this modern habit by pregnant women during a baby shower party that was never there in the beginning of time.
A baby shower is a special party organized to celebrate the upcoming birth of a child, usually organized by close friends, family members, or the expectant couple. This party is often attended by the expectant couple, family, loved ones, and strictly guests who come with lovely essential gifts and best wishes for the expectant parents and the unborn child. Most times this party takes place during the third trimester of the pregnancy or toward the expected date of delivery. Some of the activities in this party include games, food, and other activities depending on the parents’ preference. One of the highlights of this party that I love so much is the gender reveal. This is when the gender of the unborn baby is revealed to the guests. What makes this particular activity of the party colorful is that guests come to the party dressed in colors that suggest the sex of the baby or what gender they want the baby to be. Those dressed in blue suggest the unborn baby is a boy, and those dressed in pink suggest that the baby is a girl, but whatever the outcome of the gender reveal, everyone is still happy.
However, these parties are just upcoming events that were not there from the beginning, though their initial purpose is not bad, and it has been normalized in this generation. However, some things about it do not sit right with me. These are my opinions, though, but then all thanks to a platform like this that gives individuals the freedom to register their opinion on matters like this. To me, pregnancy is sacred, and anything declared sacred should not be seen or touched by everyone. In today’s society, the monetization of social media has led some people to do a lot and put out to the public things that were meant to be kept sacred. We were taught that a pregnant woman should dress to cover her baby bump, but now, we have a lot of indecent dressing of pregnant women on the internet, showcasing their bodies, cleavages, baby bumps, etc, all in the name of creating content and baby showers. On several occasions, I have seen pregnant women almost completely naked in their baby shower photoshoots, and I wonder how and why this level of nudity is all in the name of a baby shower photoshoot. Who are their husbands, and what do their family members have to say about those pictures? However, it is quite disheartening to know that some husbands join their wives in the photoshoot looking that way.
It was never like this from the beginning, and it is morally not right to showcase your body parts in public, especially as a pregnant woman, all in the name of celebrating the upcoming birth of a child, creating content, or fashion. Not that I discourage this celebration or campaigning that it should be stopped but rather my opinion is that it should be done with every level of moderation, modesty, and pregnancy should be kept sacred. Dress well and cover your baby bump during the photoshoot and baby shower party. Be strict with the kind of people invited to this party, and be conscious of what you eat or drink during the party.
Pregnancy is sacred, and it's better kept that way.
