1. Milk bath maternity shoots 
While these images are often very beautiful, we can?t help but wonder about the behind-the-scenes work required for this kind of trendy photo shoot. Does the photographer bring the milk" Or does the eight-months-pregnant mom-to-be lug the milk" How many litres does it take to fill a bathtub, anyhow" And is it healthy to marinate your most delicate body parts in that much dairy" Never mind the fact that most bathtubs just aren?t that photogenic. (A photo shoot involving the tub at my house would require some serious re-grouting. Or Photoshopping.) Maybe some pregnant women truly enjoy floating around like a fertility goddess in milky water, wearing a lace dress and a flower crown, but it?s really not the best use of your limited, pre-baby free time. It is, however, a semi-accurate preview of postpartum life, when waking up in a pool of leaked breastmilk becomes totally normal.
