Pregnant women do not always look beautiful
Chris noticed recently that people always tell pregnant women they look beautiful or gorgeous or radiant. And clearly there's a flaw here. What if the mother-to-be is butt ugly? Perhaps she was a monster to begin with, covered in fat rolls and zits. Just because she got knocked up doesn't mean she suddenly became beautiful (unless you have a preggo fetish).
The way I see it, there are 4 types of pregnant women. Let's assume we're talking about women who are well into their pregnancy.
- Same as before
This type of woman gets pregnant, eats healthy, and continues to exercise. Her belly inflates in a smooth, spherical fashion while the rest of her frame stays about the same. She might even go as far as to avoid stretch marks with the proper regimen of body lotion and black magic. This woman's level of attractiveness does not increase or decrease. - Better than before
Obviously some women look even better pregnant. Particularly if they were sort of plain to begin with. In this case, her skin becomes clearer and smoother, her hair gets a little more volume, and her tits balloon to just the right size. This is a woman you may have overlooked before, but suddenly you find yourself wondering what her newly puffed-out nipples look like under her shirt. - Worse than before
Here is the woman that looked moderately attractive to begin with. It's no shock that a dude was interested enough to deposit his seed. But somehow, as the baby started to grow inside her belly, she also started to grow - in all the wrong places. Fat neck, cottage cheese thighs, ankles the size of giant redwoods, etc. This is not a case where you'd instinctively say "Gee, you sure look beautiful." Because if you said it, it would be a lie. - Awful to begin with
This is the woman who announces she's pregnant and every guy within earshot thinks "Man, that dude must have been druuuunk." It's hard to say whether this woman looks better or worse, because you could barely stand the sight of her to begin with. In fact, it might be difficult to tell if she's pregnant or just fat.

LOL…it’s true too ya know :p
I was 18 when I was pregnant the last time and I think at that age most women belong to the first category. Ok…so it was tricky to bend over and fetch something on the floor in the end, but that’s kinda natural when you gain 20 lbs in 8 months :p
And I lost 30lbs when it was all done and over with too…so there

I think your list is pretty accurate. This also made me think of the term BBW-big beautiful woman. I do not like this term what so ever. Just because a woman is big, it does NOT make her beautiful. And really in most of the larger cases, it makes her look unhealthy, lazy, slobish, and just plain yucky. That’s mean for me to say but I’ve got a good reason. Yup, I do.

April, BBW? What does being fat have to do with either pregnancy or beauty?
Just because a woman is thin, doesn’t mean she’s pretty either btw- and I can safely say the ugliest women I’ve seen have been thin.
I was a fatty years ago and I was sexier then.

You all are bitches. And April, your nasty…look at your profile pic! Obviously being skinny doesn’t make you beautiful either…

@Laura:
Well… I would imagine it’s much more difficult to be classified as beautiful by a majority of American males if you are overweight. Some guys are into that, and they refer to fat girls as BBW. Of course there are skinny girls who are ugly (they’d fall into the 4th category above).
@Jenifer:
You must be heavyset. Or maybe big boned. (Is it just me or does “big boned” sound like a sex euphemism?)

I personally think pregnant woman are beautiful because they have an innocent little baby growing inside them and the excitement and light of that baby shines out of the moms glowing face. Just the fact that they get bigger and gain weight is showing the baby, it’s all a beautiful thing!
