Damn these rude people

[Lilbean2]

I am at the end of my tether with these insensitive numtys..
In the Last week I've had about 10 people say I'm huge, and look like I'm Ready to pop.. Including my own cousin!

Why do they think it's OK to say whatever comes to their minds..

I've been so upset, I'm a UK size 12, I didn't loose much baby weight after ds..

It's annoying, and a pet hate of mine when in pregnant having comments like that! That and people who you barely know touching your belly!

But-I don't think people realise how it comes across, and it's like they think they are just making polite conversation. If your close enough to your cousin though, id probably say something.

 

[Lilbean2]

She's like a bomb waiting to explode I rather not lol

I completely understand . Im 16 weeks with my 4th but I'm measuring ahead and have a very noticeable bump already. I dread the school run every day as all I seem to get are comments like "aren't you huge!" And are you sure of your dates/ are you sure it's not twins !? I'm really starting to lose my patience. Don't people understand how rude they are?!

 

[moter98]

I'm sorry people are making thoughtless comments to you. It seems like pregnancy is a free for all for everyone. I've been asked very intimate details about our ttc methods etc. and gotten loads of off the wall comments. I think that people just don't realize that what they are saying may be hurtful, embarrassing, and out of bounds.

My MIL had the audacity to state that last time I just had a bump but this time I've put weight on all over. I could have screamed in her face for being so insensitive and rude!

 

[firefly15]

I've been getting this for weeks too, including from MIL who told me that I was enormous and then promptly exchanged the babygro she had bought for a bigger size as I 'clearly wasn't going to be having a small baby'

I had someone say to me 'oh, no disrespect, but I wasn't even as enormous as you are now when I gave birth to my 1st'. Well good for you, now kindly shut up

I do not know why people think it's ok to say things like this when you're pregnant, it makes my blood boil!

Things I've actually said to people whilst pregnant with ds;

I'm pregnant what's your excuse?

Yeah and I'll be slim by this time next year, will you?

Directly proportionate to your mouth.

Etc etc.

Haha everyone seems to think it's perfectly ok to comment on how fat you are when you're pregnant. I've managed to just brush off the comments, but one woman (complete stranger) did almost get punched last week when she informed me she could tell I was having a girl because of my fat love handles- which she grabbed to prove her point! It's one thing to touch my bump without asking, but to grab my fat?!!? Especially since hyperemesis has made me not gain much weight so that is pre pregnancy fat! If I hadnt been at work I would not have been able to control myself!

 

[Eriamel]

I never understood why on earth people would feel the need to touch or talk to a complete stranger who happens to be pregnant.. pre pregnancy I never would have thought about talking to a complete stranger about her belly. And yep, when they become rude, that's basically an unofficial invitation to be rude back, someone can expect an answer back sort of like "I am fat because there's another human being growing inside me, you are fat because you have to cut down on the potato chips and sodas".. they asked for it

 

[heidi87814]

Ugh. I've never understood it either. Why is it suddenly okay to comment on how big a woman is just because she's pregnant? As if suddenly all of her feelings have disappeared.

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

I seem to be the only one who doesn't mind

[hilslo]

I try not to take offence either - I sometimes add a month if strangers ask when I'm due so I don't look so big. My own mum took one look at me and said that I'd be as big as a whale by the time he is born.

Ignore them - third pregnancy (and hopefully my rainbow) I am just grateful that bean is growing happily in there!

Btw - hello Mrs B!!!! Looks like things are going well. Over the moon to see this!!!

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

I'm about 7 weeks behind u hilslo . So far so good xxx

 

[Nina83]

Hilslo, there you are! So happy to see you again and that things are going well!

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Nina & Hilslo.....lovely that we are all here!!!! Good luck girls xxx

I have been similarly frustrated with the opposite comments, actually. I'm quite heavy, and this is my second child. I always have a belly, but with this second baby, my stomach has been bulging for weeks now. For example, I not only can't button my pants, I can't zip them. :/ I look huge, and I'm not saying that out of self-consciousness. And I've had several people say that "I'm not even showing yet," which is soooooo insulting. I'm sure they're trying to be nice, but it's actually really nasty. It's a great lesson to me not to comment on pregnant ladies, regardless of how nice I think I'm being!
