A pregnant North Carolina woman tried to silence her doubters by posting a belly photo online, but the image ended up drawing far more attention than she expected. Natasha Kirkland, who was expecting baby number four, posed at home with her growing bump exposed and even set the picture as her profile image.

At first, the post barely registered, with only a couple of comments appearing as it sat on her timeline. But a sharper-eyed social media user noticed something in the background that changed everything: a stool with drug paraphernalia in plain sight, along with an elastic tie-off on her arm. Three days later, she was arrested on outstanding charges, while later reports said she continued to rack up more arrests in the years that followed.

00:00A North Carolina woman, pregnant with baby number 4, wanted to shut her haters up, so she posted a
00:06photo of her growing baby bump on social media. Although one user commented that the woman looked
00:10sexy, the photo went mostly unnoticed for days. Then at least one observant person took a closer
00:16look and quickly called the cops. Natasha Kirkland, a 26-year-old woman from Cherokee,
00:22North Carolina, was apparently excited to be expecting baby number 4. However, there were
00:28those who questioned whether she was really pregnant. Her so-called haters were skeptical,
00:33wondering if the pregnancy was a ruse since the selfie-loving social media user hadn't posted
00:37any belly shots, according to E-Bomb's World. Sure enough, Natasha was indeed knocked up once again,
00:44and she was more than willing to prove it. Hoping to shut up those who doubted her pregnancy,
00:50Natasha posed for a picture in a room of her home. Bearing her growing baby bump at 20 weeks along
00:55for
00:55all to see, she stood proudly with her belly hanging out. Below the tank top, she had pulled
01:00up to expose all of her glory, but she exposed much more than intended. In a hurry to shut her
01:05haters down, Natasha posted the image on social media. But, that wasn't enough. Natasha, who spells
01:12her name Mitosha on Facebook, made the big bear bump image her profile picture too. Unfortunately for
01:19her, she must not have looked too closely at the photo before sharing it with the world. That was a
01:24big
01:24mistake that would land her behind bars. Natasha didn't garner much attention with her new photo
01:30initially. Instead, the image sat on her timeline and in the newsfeed of her friends for days.
01:35It went virtually unnoticed except for two comments, one of which claimed the mom-to-be looked
01:40sexy. Then, a more observant social media user spotted glaring issues in Natasha. Kirkland was thrown
01:47behind bars three days after the picture was posted. Apparently, Natasha was in such a hurry to take the
01:53picture. She dropped everything she was doing to pose for the photo. And, what she was doing was a
01:58big problem for social media users, concerned about the growing baby inside her. While evidence that she
02:04was expecting was provided, she also proved something else about herself that was particularly
02:09troublesome. Those with a sharp eye for details spotted a stool in the background, where Natasha had
02:14left her drugs, spoon and syringes in plain sight. But, there was an even bigger issue. The expected mom
02:21couldn't even claim the illegal narcotics weren't hers since she had also left an elastic tourniquet or
02:26tie off on her upper arm, which intravenous drug users use to make their veins bulge so they can be
02:31more easily found and injected. In other words, it was an obvious indication that Natasha had just been
02:37or was about to shoot up. Although she was arrested on a number of charges three days after the incriminating
02:43photo became her profile image, none of them was drug-related or involved child endangerment.
02:48Surprisingly, even though she admitted to using drugs in another post, Natasha was only held
02:54accountable for some outstanding offenses, including driving with a revoked license, felony credit card
02:59fraud, and felony obtaining property under pretenses, Starcasm reported. According to the North Carolina
03:05court calendar, she was also facing a felony charge of larceny of a firearm. In an attempt to save face,
03:12Natasha claimed her Facebook profile was hacked, and that the hacker posted an old photo of her,
03:17Newsily reported. Hoping not to look like a complete degenerate, even though she admitted to having her
03:23kids taken from her in the past, she backed up her hacking claim by alleging to be clean when she
03:27got
03:27busted. Natasha Kirkland's pale excuses don't change the fact that she admitted to doing her drugs when
03:34the picture of her was taken, where it's clear she had a baby in her belly. The photo was proof
03:39that
03:39Natasha Kirkland was a danger to her unborn child, regardless of whether the pregnancy was a previous or
03:45current one. And sadly, she didn't seem to straighten up her act. Although the photo first went viral in
03:512015, it has made its rounds time and again, causing many to wonder what Natasha has been up to.
03:58Starcasm decided to find out and discovered that she's since had so many run-ins with the law,
04:02it's hard to piece them all together. It appears Natasha was arrested at least 10 times in the three
04:07years following the baby bump photo incident on a list of charges, including larceny of a motor vehicle,
04:13breaking and entering, driving with a revoked license, probation violation, and numerous
04:18instances of failure to appear. According to North Carolina court records at the time of
04:23Starcasm's update, she had pending court dates for a felony charge of breaking and entering,
04:27felony larceny, and driving with a revoked license. Clearly, she didn't learn her lesson,
04:33and sadly her children are likely paying the price for her years of continued debauchery.
