ChristusG Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 ;) We have a pool. I'm pregnant....with a belly that is poking quite a ways out. The kids want to swim so I sit out on our back covered patio to watch them. It is HOT. Did I mention it's hot? Am I scaring the neighbors when I sit out there in a pair of capris and a sports bra with my pregnant belly poking out between them? I mean, we do have privacy fences, but our house is on a *very* slight hill where the neighbors can probably see from our chest up. So....am I scaring them? LOL :lol: I'm usually quite modest in swimwear....I wear a rash guard, so I wouldn't wear this except for in my back yard. I know that others wear *much* less than this. But still....I'm not scaring anyone, right? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Peregrine Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If you are, they need to quit looking. :lol: I say sunbathe away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halftime Hope Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I wouldn't give it a second thought. At all. A pregnant belly is a very lovely, beautiful thing. As long as your "fancy" parts (Mr. Rogers allusion...) are well covered, enjoy the season with your loved ones. Your neighbors can choose to look, or not.

Murphy101 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 As someone about to pop any moment Who would love to have a pool on this 96' day... I say grab a bikini and join the kids in the pool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bry's-gal Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I say NO! You are pregnant and entitled to be as comfortable as possible in your own backyard! It's fenced in and if anyone has a problem with it, they don't have to look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty in Pink Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If that scares the neighbors then they'd probably faint at the sight of me in a two-piece, which is what I'm wearing this summer (belly and all)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Surely that's a million times better than neighbors seeing me haul the garbage out in Tweety Bird pajamas and no bOOkshelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamarie Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 LOL! When I was pregnant with DD3, we moved into this house with a pool. I was out there every day that summer in my bikini with my belly hanging out. And I do not get cute little baby bumps. I get HUGE and not attractive. I did it anyway despite only having a privacy fence to the neighbors on the left, not the right. (Above ground pool with fencing all around so it was legal) In my old house, we were on a corner lot with a chain link fence right down the street from a high school with no busing so they all walked home and there were lots of people I knew in the neighborhood. I still sat out in my tankini that covered my stomach in the kiddie pool. It was hot, we didn't have a/c, and I was beyond caring at that point. I was pregnant with DD5 during the second hottest summer on record and I needed relief. I say you're good. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If this scares your neighbors, then they are faint at heart and need to get out more.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If wore a bikini when I was pregnant, and lived at the beach. You better believe I walked down to the beach and swam every afternoon. A pregnant belly is beautiful. Keep cool!

Katiebug_1976 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Why, have they complained? You have a fence...they don't have to look if it bothers them. I wouldn't worry about it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm pregnant and due in October too. With the heat like it is, I say who cares if they are!? If going out in your own backyard in a bikini top and capris is how you feel comfortable at this point, you should do it! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 If they scare that easy, they deserve to be. Scared of a baby belly...only if pregnancy is contagious! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 ;) So....am I scaring them? LOL :lol: I'm usually quite modest in swimwear....I wear a rash guard, so I wouldn't wear this except for in my back yard. I know that others wear *much* less than this. But still....I'm not scaring anyone, right? lol My pregnant neighbor just came over to ask me if I would be offended if she laid out in her backyard showing her big belly, :lol:. Um...no, I don't care. I avoid looking at their yard anyway because it's always such a mess (but I didn't say that;).) I told her it was sweet of her to ask.

GoVanGogh Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 But did you scare/scar your children? :lol: Your post actually brought back a funny (not at the time!) childhood memory. My mom was very pregnant with my baby brother during the heat of the summer. A friend gave us a ton of sweet corn from his garden and my mom insisted on freezing all of it for winter. She sat in the garage in her bra and panties - and that big ole pregnant belly - shucking corn for a week! I remember being mortified when an elderly neighbor guy walked over to see what we were up to, then he was obviously too shocked to turn around and run because he just stood there staring at my mom's belly. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
