You didn't read about that in the pregnancy handbook? People are allowed to say whatever idiotic thing comes to mind at any time, with absolutely no filter, and direct it at you, because it's only the most hormonal time of your entire life and you're totally equipped to handle it!

I agree! I get frustrated when people say... no don't do that, you're pregnant. My supervisor at school will run back and forth to the office for me or go to the bookroom to get what I need because she says I shouldn't be walking that much... I don't have a disease. I'm not dying!
One of my co-workers did tell me the other day that she could tell I was starting to show. Which my belly is bigger, but you wouldn't look at me and say I was pregnant. She said, "Don't worry, I started showing at about 6 weeks too." I was like ummm.... I'm a little bit past that mark! Ha Ha

LOL, I used to feel the same way with my first pregnancy. I wanted to do EVERYTHING myself because goddamn it I'm PG not disabled! But now with this pregnancy and the fact that I get random bouts of shooting pain in my legs I'd be more than happy for people to do things for me. The ironic thing is that I'm not as "kid-gloved" as I was before. It's like once you've gone through pregnancy and labor they think you're tough enough to handle it this time!
It doesn't bother me when people say that my belly is getting big. But I hate it when people say "well, you don't really look pregnant." What do you mean I don't look pregnant? My waist has increased by over 10 inches. Do I just look fat to you? LOL People put their foot in their mouths all the time. I pick & choose my fights, mainly depending on how much energy I have at the time of the discrepancy
OMG! me too! My stomach is HUGE and the rest of me has actually shrunk a little (this kid loves its vegies and fruit and not much else). One of my colleagues, who has three young kids, was like "Wow! You're pregnant?". I looked down at my maternity clothes and belly and said "What did you think this is? A beer gut?"
