I love flaunting my pregnant belly in crop tops – people give me dirty looks & tell me to cover up but I’m not ashamed
A WOMAN has revealed that she loves flaunting her big pregnant belly in crop tops.
Michelle Guzik, 24, who is from the US, revealed that women will give her dirty looks and expect her to cover up her baby bump, but she sees it as an additional ‘accessory’.
Posting on social media, the pink-haired content creator shared a short clip of her wearing a ribbed co-ord.
With her large baby bump on display, the young woman, who had eyelash extensions and wore her hair in pigtails, explained that whenever she shows off her bump in public, she is always met with the same strange reaction.
Alongside the clip, the influencer wrote: “When I go out in public in a crop top with my bump out.”
The stay-at-home mum, who has since given birth to two twin boys, attached an audio that said ‘Why is everyone acting weird towards me? No seriously?’
Michelle, who at the time of filming and posting the clip, was 33 weeks pregnant with twins, attached her ‘mum bod’ clip with the caption ‘I’m not ashamed of it.’
She later wrote: “There’s some sweet women and then there’s the ones where they look at you like you’re disgusting.
“They act like they’ve never seen a pregnant person before.”
But Michelle confessed that she won’t let the haters get her down, as she added: “I love my bump so it’s an accessory.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @michelleguzik4, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up a jaw-dropping 101,200 views.
Social media users flocked to the comments, eager to support the young woman.
One person said: “If you’ve got it, flaunt it. It’s well earned, well deserved! Beautiful in its own right!
“No one’s opinion matters more than yours.”
