It's usually very easy to spot people without anything upstairs.

u should not insult people for their own opinions.
We all have individual differences.

Nice observation from Ngozi. I see Stupidity in the so called baby bump display. I wonder how some of our ladies think these days!

That's actually her cup of tea. how discreet she wants her lifestyle is up to her, how other celeb/women do theirs is their bizness. I don't know any pregnant woman that hid all thru her pregnancy. don't they go to church, market or other events or didn't other people see her during her "discreet" pregnancy? Remember Muslims and Arabians still cover their necks and legs....but we here we expose them. Nawa o

Displaying baby bumps on the internet irritates us not what you're saying.

Aptly stated and very true. It's unAfrican so to speak. I'm sure soon our celebrity baby daddies would start displaying their erected preeeks so show it did the bump job on the baby mamas (anoda irritating phrase). angry

She must not like everything. If having a pregnancy shoot makes you happy while pregnant please go ahead. She is talking from a celebrity point of view. Pregnancy is sacred yes but if you want to flaunt your "baby bump" please do.


Announcing to the world that you are expecting a child is not a bad thing. There is nothing wrong if the world rejoices at the birth of your child.
I like ur angle...the fact the chimamanda doesn't like the phrase baby bump' doesn't mean I shouldor I shouldn't show my massive body change and. Fascinating belly growth...not that I plan on doing any of both

What she's implying is that having pregnancy plastered all over Social Media. In the olden days, our mothers wore maternity gowns to conceal baby Bumps but nowadays, we expose it all in the name of trending fashion. They did not take photographs and send to Daily Times or Concord Newspaper to publish their baby Bumps or did they?

Life's too short to spend it living by other people's rules and norms.

Live life as fully as you can. Break all the rules as much as you can. Why give a single fck if your photoshoot upsets someone else? 100 years from now, and you will probably be manure anyway.

Love you Chiamanda.

Just that your books are too expensive on Amazon kindle, wish someone could share some of your books with me especially Americanah..

I am not with you. cos you can't dictate what others should do just cos Wat they are doing irritates u. Shes talking about olden days, who's still doing other things that olden days people did. I can't do it openly, personally but for those doing it, it's their life and their choice

I'm kinda struggling to understand what she means in its entirety, though I get the angle on "baby bump"

As far as I know, you can take pictures while pregnant if you want, it shouldn't be because it's a fad or something.

I get what you are saying. and she. but.....

There are so many values that olden days people observed that we are not, including you and herself so let's not go down that lane. It might be wrong for you but they don't seem to mind and it's their life. Personally, I can't do it but I don't mind if others do it. my point. my opinion though

the respect I have for this lady just shot up to the skies! such an intelligent woman; very much unlike the classless bunch who seek attention by doing all manner of weird things in the name of being celebrities.
Re: Chimamanda Adichie: "I Find This ‘baby Bump’ Thing Very Irritating" by Nobody: 5:41pm On Aug 14, 2016
I take exception to that word 'irritating', too strong a word to use on a fellow humans' actions/choices.

Our mothers didn't do this, didn't do that...helloooo
Our mothers didn't fix Brazilian and Peruvian hair. Just go back to stone age already.

I am all for doing what makes you happy. Only a pregnant woman knows what makes her happy and I will gladly support my friend and even make her up if she decides to have a pregnancy photo-shoot.

If her problem is the almost unclad pictures they take, I might agree with her, otherwise_ it isn't her business or mine.
When some celebs hide/deny their pregnancies, you lots will still be the one to say 'pregnancy is a good news, why hide it?' . There is no pleasing humans, so don't even tryyyy!
