2nd Trimester

I am going to throat punch the next person...

who makes a comment about how much I'm showing. I'm okay with my weight gain - I don't love it but I'm pregnant and I expect it. I'm eating healthy, drinking lots of water and milk, and getting some (albiet not enough exercies). I'm 5"2' and my normal weight is 125. I was up a bit when I got pregnant (130) and now I'm at 138. I'm retaining water like a fish so at least a few pounds I can blame on that. Plus, I have no hips and I'm short as sh!t so I starting poking out a couple weeks ago. My doc said everything is fine and according to his charts I've gained 4 pounds since my first appointment. So, again - I'm okay with what I weigh. I don't love getting fat, but I love my baby and I will lose the weight once baby comes.

That being said - why does me being pregnant mean that every person under the sun can comment on how much I'm showing. If I hear another, "I didn't show that must until 6 months" or "How much have you gained?" or "Wow, you're really starting to stick out there!" I. Will. Kill. Someone. Same threat goes to the next person who tries to rub my belly. Seriously - did you rub on me before I was pregnant?? Noooooo, so WHY do you think you need to do it now??

Effing hell. Happy Monday.

(For the record, I had the weekend from hell... so *this* is just icing on the cake).

  • You look tiny in your photo!

    People in general can just be so damn rude.

  • People are rude. I hate the "how much have you gained" question too! It's like once you're pregnant, all manners and personal space fly right out the window!
  • Please see my 12.5 week pic in my blog (link below) and I totally know what you are feeling.  I was 110 pre-pg and 5'4" so now that I've gained like ten pounds, which I am ok with, I look like I'm 17 or 20 weeks.
  • Sorry you're having suck a suck a$$ day (and weekend).  Take deep breaths and walk away.  Off topic- my niece's name is the exact same as your girl's name- middle name too!
  • Maybe its just me but this seems like one of the questions you'll just have to endure for the rest of your 40 weeks. Get used to it or come up with an amazingly witty comment to say when someone asks.

    Ugh that is so annoying! I hate hearing when people say how tiny they looked until 6 or 7 months- I can only hope to start showing soon!!
