i wouldn´t take that as an insult at all. i´ve had a few comments like that but they are only said in jest. i love it when people make comments on my bump, i´ve waited so long to have one. don´t take it personally as i´m sure it was never inteded as an insult. xx
Hello,
I completely understand how you feel. Everyone keeps telling me that my baby is going to be a 9 or 10 pounder because I'm so huge already. It's really hurtful, because I'm already feeling so self conscious about my weight gain as it is. Then I sit here and think about it and it freaks me out... like what if they are right? how am I going to push that out???

At both my 12w and 18w u/s the sonographer said the baby is measureing big. My OH has made a couple of sarcastic comments because he has a big head and joking around about the size the baby's going to be. I have to admit it has already crossed my mind and I am scared of labour, I have even thought about a c-section to get out of the pain. I know thats not a good option but it bothers me that he is being so insensitive. So, I said to him, " When we are in the delivery room and you see how much pain I am in you are going to feel a lot different about it." I let him know how much it bothers me, even though he is joking and said that I would rather he was supportive to me than teasing me, at least about that subject. He totally understands now that it is a sensitive subject and I'm positive that he will be supportive from now on. I don't think he realized how much it did bother me until I said something.
