The trends or how pregnant women are portrayed on magazine covers is strange to say the least. Plus, not to mention, rare. Cosmo only featured a pregnant woman on the cover the the first time this year (Emma Roberts). INC magazine became the business magazine to ever feature a pregnant woman in late 2019. Women are rarely represented when pregnant, and if they are— they’re sexualized.
We can have clothed celebrities on magazines covers, but not clothed pregnant women? Why? Because pregnancy “isn’t sexy” and so we have to make their bodies look “sexy”?
Strange.
In this episode, we unpack the pros and cons of how pregnant women are represented on magazines. Let us know what you think of this trend in the comments.
