Need to vent

I saw my mom at Easter today(hadn't seen her for about a month) and first thing she tells my sister is that she thinks my butt looks big.   So of course my sister comes up and tells me that.   Awesome....just what you want to hear when you are almost 8 months prego.  Could be I'm a bit overdramatic about this but the comment still hurt.  (FYI - I have gained 1/2in thru my hips so far.)

    I didn't understand why so many pregnant women took offense to the "you're getting big" comments. I mean, I'm pregnant-- I am getting big. Well, a few days ago my grandmother's sister stopped by while we were visiting and said that it looked like I had

  • I usually say it first so if anyone does make a remark it bothers me less then. I think they're harmless observations but nonetheless it's still awful.

  • Last night we were at my SILs for dinner and I decided to have a piece of cake (something I usually never do because I find it makes me sick). So as I'm cutting it my MIL pipes in "Oh look who's having cake" I responded with "Eh I'm pregnant might as w
