Cape Town – South African DJ, businesswoman, and philanthropist, Lamiez Holworthy-Morule has expressed her dislike towards “the jokes attacking other pregnant women”, saying that it isn’t fair as no one has control of their appearance during pregnancy.
Lamiez posted a picture to Instagram in which she was posing in front of beautiful pieces of art she has in her home, which she admitted is her favourite art gallery.
However, she swiftly shifted the attention towards the topic of jokes directed at pregnant women.
“So I’ve seen the comparisons, compliments and even jokes about pregnancy and whilst I count myself very lucky because I haven’t experienced any drastic physical changes (although the abdominal pains, swollen legs, nausea, migraines and hormones are showing me real flames) I simply don’t like the jokes attacking other pregnant women,” she wrote in the Instagram post.

“Truth is, no one has control over how they look or even how smoothly their pregnancy goes and to be subjected to the demeaning words and unnecessary verbal and emotional abuse isn’t fair.
“ANY woman who carries life is a superhero with superpowers in my opinion and should all be celebrated and embraced regardless of how they look.
“There is no manual to this life thing and the least we can be is kinder because take it from me – pregnancy is no walk in the park! You’re literally risking your life to carry and bring a healthy, happy and normal child into this world.
“And that? That makes me admire every single mother and those carrying life.
“A safe, happy and peaceful pregnancy to you all. ❤️
“Ps. DON’T ever use ME to bring down, bash or belittle another woman.”
