2nd Trimester

Yet another rude/stupid comment!

So earlier this week I posted that several people have asked me if I am still working (at 25 weeks).  Keep in mind I run around in a suit and high heels all day, so it's clear I am not on bedrest.  Today, one of my clients said to me "You are so skinny, you must not be eating!" like assuming I am starving myself or something b/c I am still really small everywhere other than my stomach.  I have gained 17 lbs for goodness sakes (granted all in my belly and boobs).  I was offended b/c  I eat all the time!  Anyway, I guess its better than someone calling me a fata**, but I still don't like weight comments period.  Rude rude rude....  Pregnancy sure brings out 'insert f'oot in mouth' questions in people.

    Yes, she knows I am 6 months pregnant, and my belly is huge!  She was being a catty bee-yatch.

    Thanks:)

  • Sounds to me like you need to learn to take a deep breath and stop worrying about what everyone says to you.  These things are not worth getting in a huff over

  • It's like, once you're pregnant, your body is public property and open to discussion and touching.  How rude!

    You should have a sign that says, "just because my personal space has expanded doesn't mean you're allowed in it.  Back off!"

  • This is why I'm still waiting to tell my office!! 

    Where did you find maternity suits?  I also where a suit to work every day and these high waist pants are freakin' killing me!  I can wear my be band with my black pants but that's about it.  Thanks!

    The brand Olian has great suits!  A bit expensive, but I just bought one in black.  Mine has a built in belly band, and it's great-so comfy!  Check your local maternity boutiques or look online.  I got mine for 40% off during a sale!

  • I am on the opposite end, I have gained 14 lbs and the other day my neice (she is 18) said to me "How much have you gained, you are so big already?!" then she went on to say...."Yeah you will probably do what my mom (my sister) did and get really fat with this second one". I bawled my eyes out for about an hour and then I really layed into her. I am over 1/2 way done and am right on track! Why do people say the stupidest things to pregnant women. I think people should not even talk about it unless they are going to say "wow you look amazing" otherwise shut up!!!!!

    Nice.  Yep, I think weight comments toward women in any form are off limits and rude.  Especially to a pregnant woman w/raging hormones.  People just need to bite their tounge:(

  • Next time this happens, just laugh in the person's face. Seriously. They have it coming.

     

    But why get so offended? Some random person is an idiot. It says nothing about you.

  • While I do agree that people should altogether not comment on women's bodies-- pregnant or not-- I think this is an AW post in disguise.

  • I'm going the other way... looking much bigger this time than last... and I think I'm quite a bit bigger than when my in-laws saw me at Thanksgiving... I'm sure they're both going to have comments that make me want to strangle them.  I hope I can refrain!   Didn't everyone's mom teach them to keep their mouth closed if they couldn't say anything nice?!?
  • You make me want to go out and buy a cute suit!  Most of my maternity clothes are hand me downs, and this is my last baby, so I'm trying to get by without buying new stuff this time ( except 2 sets of jammies.)
