Sharing baby bumps is all the rage on social media—from stars like Beyoncé posting glammed-up pregnancy announcements to fitness bloggers baring their pregnancy abs. But for some, not all baby bumps are created equal, something that actress and author Jenny Mollen experienced first-hand. She and husband Jason Biggs announced earlier in the week via Instagram that they were expecting a child, but Jenny's follow-up post about her pregnancy caused some controversy.
In the photo, Jenny bares her nude baby bump after just stepping out of the shower, while the couple's 3-year-old son Sid laughs excitedly in the background. The shot seems like a cute family moment, but some people were offended that Jenny was posing naked with her toddler.
Internet outrage got you stressed? Take a load off with this relaxing yoga pose:
"Why the f-ck would u share something like this??? Is nothing sacret [sic] anymore..." one user commented on the shot. "Umm thats a bit much...come on now you could at least been semi dressed," another chimed in.

Others came to the actress's defense, telling the haters to get over it.
"Maybe if more kids saw their moms' bodies as something they aren't ashamed of, they would grow up not to be ashamed of their own bodies and wouldn't make others feel ashamed of theirs," one user commented. "F-ck the haters. Moms shower with their kids sometimes. So what!?" said another.
What do you think? Did Jenny's photo bare too much?
