So no... you don't see other random pregnant couples getting criticism for it... but then, I don't see anyone clapping and swooning because the random lady down the road is pregnant, either . So I guess the heavy criticism is needed for the sake of some sort of balance.
The couple are hardly responsible for how it is lauded and probably had to announce because she has bad morning sickness and has to cancel engagements.

Balancer of the people?
