Ew.

I’m no prude. I’m a liberal! I belly dance! I once attended a porn festival! That being said, I still feel like there’s something inherently embarrassing about pregnancy. Everyone knows you DID IT. I’m blushing just writing about this.
Which is exactly why you will never catch me in one of these horrifying shirts.
Oh good lord. In case you can’t read that, it says, “My eggo is preggo,” beside an egg and a little sperm. Gross.
Even worse:
Oh my god. I’m so embarrassed. Seriously?
I also disapprove of the many varieties of the, “I’m not fat, I’m just knocked up” shirt. I see them all the time! How embarrassing. One, that you care if someone thinks you’re fat, and two, again with the everyone-knowing-you-did-it thing. *shudder*
My. Upon re-reading, I’m seeing how bitchy this post is. Perhaps I need this shirt:

My friend, I couldn’t agree more. When you’re pregnant the veil of privacy is lifted…..and these shirts are super duper yucky! xo

I never saw those kinds of shirts while pregnant. I would have gotten quite a laugh but to actually purchase one and wear it? Please!

Is this some kind of catalog? And I’m dying to know what’s going on in that article next to the Pregzilla shirt–”episiotomy” and “repulsion” keep jumping out at me.

Ew those are awful! Though maybe they should make a shirt that says “I’m not pregnant, just fat” so that people won’t make the mistake of asking when it is due to certain people. (Yes, I’ve seen it done and once it was asked of me.)

To me, these shirts have the same eeew-factor as the shirts with “Boobies!” and pictures of smiling piles of dog-poo (not usually on the same shirt, but you get my gist…). But i admit that I DO like the baby onesie’s with the geek-chic vibe, of the “My parents watch Battle Star Galactica” variety.

Amy: I know, right? It’s so weird to have starngers just up and talk to you all the time. It’s also sort of nice, I just wish it wasn’t the same conversation over and over.
Kelly: Really? I guess Portland is a bit more of a refined city than T-Town, because I see them all the time.
beth c: It’s actually some silly pregnancy magazine that I bought to pass the time in the airport on the way back from DC. That article is about the lady on The Office who had a baby? It was weird because it was sort of a fake interview of the character. I haven’t seen enough of that show to get it.
Sizzle: Oh dear. That’s terrible. I have to admit to making that mistake once, though I didn’t ask when it was due, and luckily the woman in question had just had a baby so her belly still looked pretty pregnant. I nearly died, though, and I’ll NEVER do it again as long as I live.
Emilie: I love those onesies, too, but unfortunately, if a onesie says something cute on it, it usually costs a millon dollars!

If you’re not pregnant, is it weird if you think the OMGIMPRG is totally awesome?
