Arg!

MistylMistyl
in 2nd Trimester

So, my grandmother who has always told me how overweight I am wants to take me shopping for maternity clothes. While this is a very sweet offer, I just worry about her making ugly comments. I have been very sensitive about my changing body (I know... I'm a loser), and I shared that with my mom...and my mom said to avoid my grandmother, because my grandmother told my mother the same kind of hurtful comments when she was growing up as well.

?Well, my mom calls today and says I need to call dear old Memaw, because she wants to talk to me. My mom told her all about my insecurities, and my granmother said "Well, she just needs to get over it. She is pregnant and is going to get bigger." My mom then tells me, you know Misty she is right... I know you are showing more than most women at 26 weeks but... I reply, "Umm mom... I am 22 weeks."

?I realize that I am going to get bigger. I am pregnant and that is wonderful, but with my grandfather telling me I am getting fat (the last time I saw him...ya, no hello... Just Wow... you're getting fat), etc. I am not in the mood to be around my family at this time. Yay for the holidays!?

    Grandparents...brutlly honest or just crazy and rude? LOL My grandpa saw me yesterday from a side view and was like "WOW, so that's where you're keeping all those extra pounds."

    Well, first of all, I think you look amazing in your siggy pic...definitely NOT overweight. If you think you can suck it up and deal with the possibilities of crappy comments, then go for the free clothes. If you can't deal with it, then say "thanks but no thanks." Sorry you have to deal with the crappy comments!

    Maybe dear old memaw needs to get real... haha

    For real, I'm sorry you have to deal with this! You look beautiful in your pic, and I'm sure thatyou look beautiful pregnant. No one should have to deal with those comments... ever.

    I think your mom, grandpa, and memaw need to get over it and drop the weight thing and just be happy for you!

    I wouldn't go with someone like that even though she is family.  I'm somewhat insecure about my changing body, not so much that it's changing, but that nothing fits right and would rather go shopping by myself especially since I get so frustrated.  If it makes you feel any better, I will take you shopping and tell you that you look super fabulous in everything!!

    You are beautiful! You don't look overweight at all. Is MeeMaw a tiny little lady? maybe 85lbs.. haha? You look great and you are going to get bigger, but that means you are doing a good job at taking care of your baby!

    Hugapin- She is actually pretty round. A lot of people in my family are obese or overweight, so it is kind of her obsession! And thank you :)
