Hannah Ferrier and More Pregnant Stars Slam Mom-Shamers Ahead of Babies' Births

An early start. Hannah Ferrier, Cardi B and more pregnant stars were bashed by the parenting police before their babies even arrived. The Below Deck alum found herself under fire in July 2020 after sharing an Instagram photo of herself drinking water from a wine glass. "In the USA, we don’t drink when pregnant,” one troll commented on the social media upload, while another wrote, "Hannah if you’re pregnant as we can see that you are, why are you drinking?” The former Bravo personality replied, "That’s good for you. And def not unsafe to have sparkling water with fruit in a wine glass.” She added that her "body still needs fluids to survive — especially during pregnancy,” writing, "Might I suggest sparking water and fresh fruit as photographed?” When Selling Sunset’s Christine Quinn left a supportive comment, Ferrier responded, "I can’t wait until there’s wine in the glass again, although I haven’t really missed it at all.” Later that same month, the Aussie clapped back at another Instagram hater who told her to “retire from yachting” to be a stay-at-home mom. "Just because I retire from yachting doesn’t mean I will be a full-time mother,” Ferrier replied. "Everyone is different and having a happy and fulfilled mother is a lot better for the child than having a mother who’s around 24/7.” [jwplayer vHi7IYKe-zhNYySv2] As for Cardi B, the rapper defended her baby shower in 2018. When one of her followers wrote, "All that money and the baby shower look like a bucket of CORN,” the Grammy winner clapped back. "It was beautiful and we was happy,” the New York native wrote. "Your mom waited a whole nine months for you to be ugly and a bucket of disappointment.” After her and Offset’s daughter Kulture’s arrival, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper still received online hate. After buying the toddler a Birkin bag for her 2nd birthday in July 2020, Cardi wrote via Instagram: "If I'm wearing Cha-nay-nay, my kid's having the same same, you know what I'm saying?" Cardi said on her Instagram Story. "It's not up to what the kids like. If it was the kids, they'd be outside in diapers. Because if I was looking like a bad bitch, expensive bitch and I have my kid looking like a bum bum, then y'all would be talking s—t.” Keep scrolling to see more pregnant stars responding to the parenting police over the years, from Katie Lee to Tori Roloff.

Say what y’all want about me, I’m use[d] to it. No weapon formed against me will prosper anyway. BUT a[n] innocent unborn baby?? Be careful putting your mouth on people. I pray that God gives you grace when Life comes knocking on your front door and you won’t reap what u are sowing.”

"This is my first pregnancy," the painter wrote at the time. "It’s special, and I want to talk about it. Plus allow me that right without assuming I’d want to hurt ANYONE.

When an Instagram user criticized her “belly button skin” in March 2021, the Vanderpump Rules alum clapped back on her Instagram Story. “Millions of women have stretch marks like me, and we should be proud,” Cartwright wrote. “Comments like these are part of the reason we get so ashamed when we should be feeling beautiful! It’s so disgusting people think it’s OK to comment things like this. I’m not going to lie, I cried my eyes out when I started getting stretch marks. But now I know that they just show my strength and will be proof of growing my son. Let’s try to be better and stop spreading hate like this."

Scheana Shay

In November 2020, the pregnant Vanderpump Rules star defended her decision to pierce her baby daughter’s ears in the future. “Go ahead and judge me,” Shay said in a podcast episode at the time.

In January 2021, Shay received a horrifying message from an Instagram user wanting to “push” on her stomach and “kill” her baby-to-be. The Bravo personality replied, "This is by far the worst one I’ve ever received. And this bitch has a photo with a kid in her profile!!!! Wow!!!"

The California native thanked an Instagram troll bashing her future parenting skills later that same month, writing, "I wasn’t aware that I’m dumb and broken. LOL."

Shay then told mom-shamers to "just stop" in January 2021 after being criticized for her diaper purchase, her belly button piercing and more. "All these little tedious messages are so annoying filling up my DMs so I don’t see all the important ones that need to be seen," she wrote via Instagram.

Shay asked her Instagram followers to "report" a "bad" Instagram user sending her graphic messages about her baby-to-be in February 2021. The troll called the little one "better off dead" than having the California native as a mom.

"I usually do not respond to ridiculousness like this, but what in the actual heck," the Little People, Big World star captioned a November 2019 Instagram message from a follower calling her "fat and unhealthy" ahead of her daughter's birth. "I can not believe women talk to other women like this. Calling me fat and unhealthy is the most disgusting thing ever. Comparing me to others is so detrimental. If you want me to be healthy for my family you should be lifting me up not tearing me down. GTFO. I'm pregnant and myself and baby girl are healthy as can be."
