30 Mothers Are Sharing Realistic Pictures Of Baby Bumps And Pregnant Bodies To Fight Toxic Standards

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – a very healthy saying that pushes folks not to judge anyone by their looks, yet somehow our society still seems to be missing the point. It's not a secret that our world is highly invested in other people's business, especially when it comes to appearance. Even though, for the past decade, celebrating the diversity of others has become very encouraged, you'll still encounter a few individuals that'll make sure to let you know that they're not happy with the way you are.  

The constant misrepresentation on TV and social media doesn't help either. People assume that what they see on the big screen is what the world is all about, making the real-life stuff seem unrealistic or not up to the standard. All this toxicity has even spread to pregnant women. Society expects every mother to have a perfectly rounded and petite baby bump – when pregnant bellies, just like human bodies, come in all shapes and sizes. Luckily, pregnant women are not standing still and are constantly reminding folks that bumps are unique to each person. Today, Bored Panda decided to gather a few baby bump photos to celebrate mothers and their strong spirit.
