I'm not getting fat, I'm getting pregnant! (rant)

dreamscometrue*

I'm so freaking sick of the comments like "make sure you don't eat for 2! The baby is only teeny tiny & doesn't need that much" or "celebrities diet all through their pregnancy, that's how they look so cute pregnant & get back in shape so quickly" or "don't get fat...you want to be a cute pregnant woman!" OMG! BACK the $#%$ off!!!

First of all, we have only told a couple people, so if I'm already hearing comments like this I can only imagine how much I'll hear when we actually tell people. Second, I'm not BIG, I've never been big & I eat healthy, haven't even gained one ounce yet...so why would people be warning me not to eat too many donuts "just cause I'm pregnant" I seriously might slap the next person that reminds me not to get "fat" now that I'm pregnant! My BIL actually told DH to watch me & make sure I don't eat more just because I have an excuse! GRRRRRRRR! Ok, thanks just needed to get that out.

WOW!!  Those are some gutsy people saying that to you....they deserve to be slapped! LOL!

yeah, well to be fair most of them are stupid men saying it to DH about me...but my girlfriends are also very concerned that I look "cute" and dont' blow up. I just think it's so rude! Especially since I've never had a weight problem, so why be worried now?

My DH keeps telling me not to worry about my weight-eat whatever I want.  The point is to have a healthy child, not look preg-orexic like Anjelina.

Wow, that is ballsy! The only person who told me to watch what I eat has been my mother. But she gained 70 pounds through her pregnancy with my brother, so she assumes I will as well. I told her to mind her own business, and I was sure to let her know at my 12 week appointment that I actually lost a little weight.

I agree with roxyu...your goal is a healthy baby...not what you look like carrying it.

Wow I would punch someone if they told me to make sure I didn't "blow up!"  

However I am having the opposite problem, the ppl that know just keep telling me to "go ahead and eat whatever you want," "this is the only time in you life you can put on as much weight as you want."  ugh no that is not true!!!  DH keeps jumping up and getting or offering to go out and get whatever my pregnant brain can imagine.  Everyone is a very bad influence on me so far...

I had to get off of my adderoll when I got pg, of course, so I gained like 10 pounds right away (although I lost fifteen pounds when I got on it eight years ago).  So I have gained weight because I'm pregnant, but not because of pregnancy, if that makes sense.  So people are already asking me if I am ku, and I think that takes more balls than I have.

yep, I just want a healthy baby & plan to eat healthy, and eat when I'm hungry. I am not going to fixate on weight or "diet" and I just think it's incredible that people have said things like that. Thanks for listening to my rant At least DH isn't worried about it, I might kill him if he was saying that stuff.

Get used to it - People are stupid! Eating healthy is all that matters, not how much weight you put on. Sometimes I think pregnancy brains is a term that should apply to people surrounding the pg woman, not the pg woman herself!

Wow people actually have the balls to say that? That is outrageous!! I'd punch them all. I once bi*ch slapped one of DH's friends for making fun of my big feet and I wasn't even pregnant! (A little drunk, maybe) He hasn't messed with me again. I'd go for it.
