I love showing off my pregnant belly in crop tops – but people give me dirty looks
A WOMAN has revealed she loves showing off her big pregnant belly in crop tops.
Michelle Guzik, 24, from the US, said women glare at her and expect her to cover her baby bump, but she sees it as an added “accessory.”
The pink-haired content creator shared a short video on social media in which she wears a ribbed co-ord.
The young woman, who had eyelash extensions and wore her hair in pigtails, showed off her large baby bump and explained that she always gets the same strange reaction when she shows her belly in public.
Alongside the clip, the influencer wrote: “When I go out in public in a crop top with my belly out.”
The stay-at-home mom, who has since given birth to two twin boys, added an audio file that read, “Why is everyone acting so weird toward me? Really?”

Michelle, who was 33 weeks pregnant with twins at the time she filmed and posted the clip, captioned her “mum bod” clip: “I’m not ashamed.”
She later wrote: ‘There are nice women and there are women who look at you as if you are disgusting.
“They act like they’ve never seen a pregnant woman before.”
But Michelle admitted she won’t let the haters get her down, adding: “I love my belly, so it’s an accessory.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @michelleguzik4has clearly caused a lot of surprise, because the video has been viewed no less than 101,200 times in a short time.
Social media users responded en masse to the comments and supported the young woman.
