Pregnant Pink faces backlash over Instagram post of her kitchen

This is unfair.

Ever since Pink announced her pregnancy last month she’s been posting adorable photos of her big bump.

Last week the singer posted a seemingly innocent photo of herself sitting on the floor of her kitchen.

She added the caption: ”When microwaving your decaf coffee becomes an excuse to sit on the floor and rest for a while”

Comments quickly poured in from internet strangers about how Pink should not be drinking coffee while pregnant, whether it’s decaf or not.

It wasn’t just the coffee the ‘mommy-shamers’ were annoyed with either, as many people also pointed out that she was too close to the microwave which can cause ‘DNA damaging radiation’.

”Pregnant two times and btw my doctor told me to not stand in front of microwave while pregnant” On woman said.

”Three doctors told me coffee is coffee, decaf or not…Feeding addictive stimulants to an unborn baby. Well, that’s your choice…I just stayed away from anything that may disturb my baby’s growth. A very worthwhile price so my baby can grow healthy and free of my not so healthy choices. My babies were so worth it. They come first, always. Hey, no ones place to judge. (Well, no one that doesn’t know you.) That’s your choice, and yours alone.” Another said.

“It’s one thing that she’s drinking coffee but the second thing is that she microwaves which kills all and everything in the milk if she uses milk is not good for the baby.” Another preached.

“She shouldn’t be drinking coffee of she wants a healthy baby!”

“Can relate! But not with the coffee, though. You got to wean yourself off of some things you love for the sake of the baby.”

“Feeding addictive stimulants to an unborn baby. Well, that’s your choice.” Others chimed in.

Amazingly, there was also plenty of comments over the fact that the singer’s microwave is so low.

Thankfully there was an abundance of support for Pink, who already has one daughter named Willow.

One woman said exactly what everyone on her defence was thinking:

”Please I have a 1-year-old and am pregnant with my second and work full time so you better believe I enjoy my coffee. Find some actual issue to get behind”
