By now, no one should be surprised to see Kim Kardashian in the nude. In fact, it would probably be more surprising if she went a month without baring some skin, whether in a magazine photo shoot or an Instagram selfie. Though she is currently more than halfway through her second pregnancy, I'm pretty sure she has enough nude or semi-nude pre-pregnancy photos banked to keep the attention going indefinitely. The media sensation's body was intensely scrutinized throughout her first pregnancy and now with her second, which might make any other woman shy away from the cameras. But this time around she decided to face up to her critics in a very Kim K way.

During Kim's pregnancy with her first child, North, she suffered from pre-eclampsia that resulted in tons of swelling, weight gain, and eventually an early delivery. She was slammed for appearance the entire time. This time around, she isn't suffering from the same issues and hasn't gained as much weight and appears to be carrying her baby differently, leaving harsh critics to accuse her of using a surrogate and faking the pregnancy. Fed up, Kardashian posted this photo on her Instagram account in the hopes of shutting down naysayers once and for all.
Earlier today, she managed to once again shock the world when she posted a a completely nude pregnancy selfie on her Instagram account.
Here's the thing: I get it. I understand why people are sick of seeing her naked, but I also completely understand why she posted this photo. I'm also pregnant with my second and man, pregnancy is hard. I cannot fathom having to deal with other people's judgements during a time when you're already going through so much physically and emotionally. Just this morning I was nervous about what people would think seeing me at the gym with my big ol' baby bump. So, I'm glad to see her shutting down people's blatantly rude, unkind and totally unnecessary jabs. Of course, people are now slamming her for sharing a naked pregnancy photo, but she's not any different from the likes of Demi Moore, Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson. For Pete's sake, let this woman enjoy her pregnancy!
