Rude comments

I keep getting the rudest comments thrown at me and all of them are about how big I am! My mother told me not to pack newborn clothes in my hospital bag because I was going to have a huge baby that would never fit newborn. All my family and friends laugh when I go to eat or make comments. How the hell do you get through all this in the most emotional time of your life?

My friends and family aren't assholes about my size. If anyone were to make a rude comment I would most likely tell them that at the begining of the year I won't be pregnant anymore but they will still be jerks. Sorry you're dealing with the rude comments

I don't deal with this. I think the people in my life know I wouldn't put up with it so comments don't get said. Tell them to STFU.

I feel you, i have rosacea and it seems like pregnancy has made it worse and people all the time are commenting on how much my face has broken out... I'm dreading seeing family for thanksgiving because i know that is all i will hear!

If they're strangers, I either completely ignore them, or look so tired and annoyed they change to remorseful. And yes, strangers comment all the time on my shape. I don't know why. For others, I try to make a joke, or I'll jump in before they say anything and complain about how someone else was commenting and it's driving me crazy. It's.... sometimes worked. I can't figure out how to get the 8th graders to stop being so fascinated by my bump, though....can't help their hands off.

I personally don't let the rude comments bother me. You can't change what people are going to say, you can only control how you let it affect you. I feel great about my size and know that I am growing another human inside of me. So what if I've gained a little extra weight. Somebody is always going to have something to say. I've gotten everything from "Are you sure you're not having twins?" to "You don't look very big at all to be 7 months along." I'm sure all of you ladies remember middle school and high school, girls are mean and that doesn't go away just bc we get older.

People are mean but I certainly expect a certain level of manners in adults. We aren't, after all, in highschool or middle school anymore. And I'm a really great teacher, especially if someone hasn't been taught how to be a decent human being.

Punch them in the face. I promise they'll never say another thing about your weight.

When I was working during my last pregnancy, the guy at the desk next to me would comment every time I ate anything, then come around to my desk to see what it was and comment again. It made me so uncomfortable. Some people just suck.

People can definitely be assholes. But you have to tell them it's upsetting you when they say stuff like that. Maybe they are just joking around and teasing and don't realize how much it's upsetting you (although they should know not to tease about that stuff to begin with - it's really insensitive).

I haven't gotten too many remarks like this, thank goodness. I'd lose my mind.

Thank god I dont deal with this. What kind of family/friends would make rude comments about your size? Your pregnant for crying out loud!

First of all, people are rude. I will never understand why people think being pregnant gives them a free license to make all kinds of comments on our appearance or size.

Second, I posted this to my Facebook a while back. Most of the people I see regularly ended up seeing it. It did seem to help with the number of comments related to my size. A little passive aggressive, I know, but it did help.

I don't get any size comments but I had a patient tell me it's a shame I'll be so old when the baby is grown. When I replied with I'm only 23, she simply said "oh." some people just don't think before they speak

Personally, I either glare and walk away, or tell them they are being rude, and that I don't comment on what they eat, etc.  Then if asked I blame pregnancy hormones.
