I've had it- stop saying I'm huge!

[Ragirl]

Where do people get off. I'm sorry- I know this subject has come up with others, but I am so fed up right now. There are 2 other women at work who are pg, both due a month after me. Both were skinny minnies before they got pg, and one is pg with her first so will take longer to show anyway, and so yeah, I'm a TON bigger than they are (I started out a little overweight). But does every blessed person I work with have to point this out?!?!!?!??! Here are some quotes "Gosh, your boobs are huge" (when did it get appropriate to discuss boobs at work with someone you are not really close to?) "I can't believe you are only a month ahead of then, you are so much bigger already" "When are you due? Not till Aug??? Girl...you sure you aren't having twins." Can you all stop already???? I'm already self conscious and upset about how much weight I've gained (15lbs in 22 weeks) because I had pre-eclampsia the first time and I believe gaining too much weight contributed to it. I hadn't gained any weight up to 3 weeks ago. But I was out for the last 3 weeks with a horrible viral and bacterial infection, so I didn't exercise the whole time (couldn't breathe). And I pretty much ate whatever I wanted and made my throat, which was bleeding it became so raw, feel better (i.e. TONS of ice cream). I am finally better this week, I gave myself this week off to make sure my lungs had fully healed, and I'm going to get back at the exercise next week. But lay off me people!!!!! I already have problems being weepy without people pushing me over the edge. Grrrr...

People don't think. My sister likes to point out that my bum has got so big I don't even need a sofa anymore I can just lean backwards and sit on my bum instead.

i went through this too. My boss and colleague were convinced I was huge at 4 months - like massive. "you're going to be huge,...i think you're big already".
As soon as I turned 5 months and was into my 6th it was like it was suddenly acceptable. And I've even had one woman tell me I look slim, and another tell me I look fit (in the sprty way not in the attractive way!)So my boss can stick that in her pipe and smoke it.

People are so rude sometimes. They need to learn that us newly pregnant ladies are just getting used to new shapes ourselves and have hormomes racing and dont need stupid comments!!!!!!

My bum has ballooned. It takes the focus off my bump. I'd be alot happier if they were saying "god isn't your belly huge?!" Than "god hasn't your bum expanded?!"

I agree, if people can't just say, 'oh my god, you look beautiful, and your bump is fab' then just shut the F up!

Totally!!

 

[Ragirl]

Thank you all for that validation!!!

 

[Serene123]

To be honest they're probably just jealous that you're showing more than they are

AMEN!!!! People are so rude, I have gotten to the point where I don't like people in general (unless they're my friends or family of course). I get comments all the time and people also stare. It's like being pregnant is a freak show or something. Why can't people just let us preggers enjoy our experience that God gave us??

I just wanted to say that I'm sure that you look great and you really haven't gained that much weight so I wouldn't worry. Hopefully we can get through the rest of our pregnancy without choking someone because they have made a dumb comment. :thumpup:

Oh dear, my DH should move out as soon as possible!!!

Say "STFU you skinny bitch.."

People love to compare and they ARE probably just worried themselves, silly.

Comment on her bump as ask her if she's sure it's growing properly!

LOL!!!! It's funny, I don't mind if my hubby says I'm getting big- because it is true, my bum, boobs, and belly have all expanded very early on this time. It's just when people I hardly know want to compare to another pregger...Shut up already!! I should say, yeah, well my baby will be bigger and beat up your baby...

My mother keep talking about her friend who is due in a week and has only gained 12 pounds... I've gained 52! She keeps on saying how slim and fit she still is and how nice and small her bump is...

Last weekend when she came over she couldn't stop saying : you should have lay off the sweets and fast food, Jessyca. It's going to be hard to loose all that weight, you are pretty big now.

geee... ! It really made me feel like crap!

That is horrible!! First off, I do not think it is healthy for the baby to only gain 12 lbs, unless she was really overweight to begin with and so baby gained/she lost...even then..it would worry me. And if it makes you feel better, I gained 50+ my first pg, and lost it all without any problem (gained most of it back later, but that's another story).

if people cant be nice they can get lost xxx

You poor girl , I can't believe your mom (of all people) would say something like that. If it makes you feel any better, I'm a week away from being 7 months and I have already gained 25-30 pounds (maybe more??) and I still have 3 months to go. I'm sure you look great and from your picture you look like a slim girl anyways so you shouldn't have any trouble losing the baby weight. Don't listen to her, as long as your doc says your healthy and baby is healthy then I wouldn't worry. Try to keep your chin up, your baby will be here before too long.
