Creativity Quote by Natasha Hamilton

"Every four weeks I go up a bra size... it's worth being pregnant just for the breasts"

About this Quote

Hamilton’s line lands because it’s shamelessly transactional: pregnancy, one of the most surveilled states a woman can occupy, gets reframed as a perk package with a very specific benefit. The joke isn’t delicate, and that’s the point. In a culture that expects pregnant women to perform reverence and selflessness on command, she grabs the mic and talks about her body like it’s hers to appraise. It’s funny because it’s slightly “wrong,” and it’s satisfying because it punctures the sanctimony.

The intent reads as comic relief with a defensive edge. Celebrity pregnancy tends to be narrated through glow, gratitude, and moral uplift, while tabloids simultaneously police weight gain and sexual attractiveness. By spotlighting breasts - a feature that’s both eroticized and maternalized - Hamilton exposes the contradiction: society insists pregnancy is sacred, then reduces it to measurements and “bump” content. She simply beats the machine to the punchline.

Subtext: autonomy through irreverence. She’s not denying the seriousness of pregnancy; she’s refusing to let seriousness be the only permissible register. There’s also a knowing wink at the way women are trained to find “acceptable” upsides to bodily change, especially when that change is publicly commented on. If you can’t stop the commentary, you can at least redirect it, own it, and make it laughable.

Context matters: as a pop musician whose image is part of her job, she’s speaking from inside an economy where female bodies are always being “updated.” The line is less a manifesto than a coping strategy - one that turns scrutiny into a punchline and a punchline into control.
