24 Times That Stock Photos Didn't Understand Pregnancy — at All

Aug 7 2016 - 12:35pm

As parenting writers, we turn to photo agencies for stock art to accompany our stories on a daily basis. And it's pretty amazing just how much of it exists — good, bad, and ugly. Today we're focusing on the latter two categories. These pregnancy photos left us feeling confused and shocked and, in many cases, in fits of laughter. Because let's be serious . . . is that what your pregnancy looked like? We think not.

True: Being pregnant can cause your hair texture to change.

But it will never transform into feathers.

Need a great idea for a maternity photo shoot?

This is not it.

Milk does a pregnant body good.

Especially when your baby consumes it via osmosis.

No, no, no!

Lady, what are you thinking?!

Ahhhh . . .

Pregnancy is sheer bliss. This is proof.

YES!

"I don't have one pair of baby booties. I don't have two pairs of baby booties. I have THREE pairs of baby booties!"

Get me my PICKLE JUICE!

There's really just too much to comment on with this one.

Sometimes mama likes to have a little fun!

Party on, lady!

I may not be a yoga expert . . .

But am pretty certain this is poor (and really awkward) form.

Oh, crap.

"I'm starting to wonder if maybe this is more than just those three burgers I ate last week."

Prenatal yoga is good for you.

But it's highly unlikely that it'll make you levitate.

Wait, how'd that get in there?!

Come to mama . . .

Sexy? Seductive? Terrifying?

"Hmmm, what should I make for dinner tonight?"

Cooking's always more fun in my Skivvies!

The happy couple.

What? Just . . . what?

What a feeling!

The third trimester always makes us think of Flashdance, too.

Glamour shots.

The year 1989 called and told you to strip down!

While I wait for my baby, I'll snuggle with my sun hat instead.

Because this is exactly what a newborn feels like.

So stressed out.

Gosh, isn't having a lot of baby clothes the WORST?!

When we're pregnant, we regress to childlike behavior, too.

No, we don't. This is ridiculous.

Ouch!

Childbirth hurts!

Did this mom get stuck in her curtains?

Or was this planned?

Happy baby!

Aw. This is cute. No, it's not. It's really creepy.

A really smart way to choose a baby name.

Why didn't we think of this?!
