Mum issues warning about posting baby bump snaps online… after her bulging belly ended up on a pregnancy fetish site
The porn site stole this mum-of-two's pictures, and now she cringes every time a friend posts a similar one
A MUMMY blogger whose intimate baby bump pictures were posted on a fetish porn site has issued a warning to other pregnant women.
Meg Ireland was horrified to discover that the photos of her unborn child were posted against her wishes on a porn website aimed at people who like perving on pregnant women.
The 25-year-old mum-of-two, from Sydney, said the ‘proggophilia’ site made her ‘sick to her stomach’ – and now she is warning other parents about the dangers of social media.
Meg wrote: “That time my bump went viral in a not so good way.
“This bump pic along with around 15 other pictures of mine ended up on an online ‘preggophilia’ site. Which is a porn site for people who like pregnant women.
“I see so many people upload their bump pics and now I just gasp and hope to god they don't get into the hands of someone they shouldn't.
“We shouldn't have to worry about people stealing our photos, but unfortunately it happens ALL THE TIME!
“When I was scrolling through this god awful site trying to find where this thread was, I saw some pretty f***ed up s***.
“People who were uploading pictures of their wife to other users, brother in laws uploading pictures of their sister in laws and women uploading pictures of their work colleagues!!!
“I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing.
“Who was I to blame for this? People would say I should only blame myself for uploading ‘personal pictures’ and that it was my own fault (even though my profile was then private).
“I see it differently. I didn't care that someone had screen shot my photo to show someone, it was what they did with my photo/s that made me physically sick to my stomach.

Meg describes herself as a ‘cray cray woman’, coffee addict, seamstress, and young mum of two mini humans.
She adds: “I am a borderline bogan (Australian slang) with a mouth that belongs in the gutter, a strong love for sloths and rap music.”
