Maternity fashion line pulls “offensive” tee shirt from stores
by Carder
On the one hand (aside from being horribly overpriced), the shirt’s message carries a two-pronged offense: It suggests that pregnancy weight is the result of being fat — not pregnant — and that pregnancy is a shameful condition after which women must erase every trace of evidence that their bodies gave birth.
On the flip side, for the expectant moms enjoying their pregnancies and the changes it brings forth, the shirt could be a lighthearted way to celebrate their evolving bodies.

Hmmmm ..Ive never felt fat during pregnancy. I might wear the shirt. IK when Im pregnant I get out the bigger clothes. Its the best time to pig out.
On the other hand if it has upset a lot of people then there is no harm in pulling it. I guess its a matter of perspective.
I personally don’t like fat Tshirts for pregnant women.
There is a heavy man who has a great sense of humor from my area who wears a Tshirt that says, “I beat anorexia”.
Prax…lol:)
