Belly Up
Guess who’s pregnant! Dad is! Wait, what? Oh, it’s a joke. Took me a minute. Apparently, body-shaming daddy and showing off his beer belly is a quite popular pregnancy announcement genre. I’ve seen lots of variations on the “letting the world know you’re expecting by showing daddy’s huge belly on social media” theme.
It’s a classic, it seems. And you know what? The dads don’t mind one bit. On the contrary. Maybe it makes them feel closer to their partners by getting a sense of what it’s actually like to be pregnant. Not that a baby bump feels anything like a beer belly, but at least it looks similar.
