AW, PIP I need some love

My mom isn't very understanding about weight. Before I got pregnant she was really judgmental when we'd go out to lunch together she'd always sort of side-eye what ever I ordered, especially if it was "more fattening" than what she ate. When she was pregnant with me she wasn't showing until she was almost 8 months pregnant.

Last night she came up to visit and bring us dinner (I was feeling really terrible after the ordeal Sunday night). I was absurdly grateful for her to come up, I totally cried.

I showed her the (very little) progress we'd made on the nursery and as she was getting ready to leave she looked at my belly and went "OH MY GOD! You're HUUUGE!" Then said something about being careful not to gain too much more weight. When I was having really horrible hyperemesis and had lost like 20lbs she kept saying how good I looked, now that I'm gaining some of it back I'm aparently a giant.

I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it really does.

So, BOTB, I'm posting a bare belly picture. Please tell me that I'm not a giant.

That infuriates me! She is crazy! You look great!

I think you look great, and never mind your mom. Actually I'm a little jealous, I'm 19w and haven't started to show yet (I'm a big girl). More than anything right now, I wish I could see a baby bump. But no, you're not huge. Huge is my mom, I love her but she still looks 9 months pg and my little sis is 4.

I wish I had been as small as you are when I was that far along. You look great!

Your mom needs a kick to the poonshed. You are no where near giant. You look amazing!

You look perfect.

My mom is the same way, when I told her the doctor told me to aim for gaining between 25 and 30 pounds, she said, "Try to keep it around 20." Yeah, mom. Gotcha.

Your mom is crazy. I would have killed to look like that at 23 weeks. I was begging for a bump, and yours is cute!

SBma · May 2011

You are not giant..anywhere (ok well except the boobs haha). It doesn't matter if she wasn't showing until she was 8 months pregnant, that is NOT something you say to anyone. I kind of want to kick her for you.

Shut up, you look great. You always look great. I'm sorry your mom seems to have some kind of self esteem issues.

You look great, I look more pregnant than you and my baby is 2.

Stupid belly fat.

Thusadeedoo · May 2011

You look amazing! Pregnancy and you are rocking it out. Tell her to shut her mouf or I am coming with duck tape to do it.

jensneb · May 2011

You look amazing and exactly how you should look. I hope your mom backs off of those statements soon.

I know you love your mom, but I want to slap her so hard right now. I am furious for you!

You look freaking amazing, and even if you did gain a million pounds in the next few months, screw her.

Some people have a lot of fuccking nerve, and it really sucks hard when it's family.

I would totally smooch your belly, except that might be weird. So I'll just tell you that you look awesome and your mom, much as you love her, can go fvck herself.

She's crazy. You look fabulous.

You need to tell your mom to stfu. You're pg, you're gonna gain weight.

She's insane, and you're adorable.

caffinated_tulip · May 2011

Thanks guys! You've made me feel a million times better! She's always been really thin, and I'm built more like the other side of the family, so I think it's tough for her to understand.

I think my belly's pretty cute, but it's hard to hear that I'm huge...especially when I'm just over half way through my pregnancy!

You look beautiful! Just think about this, you have the confidence to post a bare belly picture on the internet. ::rubs the baby belly::

mlb108 · May 2011

Wow, I am really sorry she said that to you -- I think you look awesome. I have to confess I'm glad she's not my mother because I'd be willing to be that she'd really freak out about my weight gain. You are adorable Smile
