So I've never been overweight EVER. I'm 5 foot tall and a size 2. I walked into my friends house for lunch yesterday and she said, "Wow, if I didn't know you were pregnant, I would think you were really tubby!". Um, all my extra weight is in my belly... not my arms or butt, etc. I was almost in tears. She went on to say, "You better pray your belly pops more because you won't be able to go to the beach this summer without people thinking you're a fatty unless you look more pregnant." I cried a lot last night
Counting down the days until my little princess arrives!
Re: Rant: People are SO hurtful!! :(
I really, really hope you said something.
And if you didn't in the moment, I'd bring it up and talk to her. Your growing a human, not gaining weight without reason.

Wouldn't you just like to say "I'm pregnant, whats your excuse?"
Some people just do NOT have a filter!
A family friend who watches my DS1 once a week in her home daycare said to me this morning: "how much weight have you gained? you look huge! i can't imagine what you will look like towards the end." I, too, am small framed and was back to my prebaby weight before I got pregnany this time. I have only gained 4 lbs. and it is all belly.
I've got this one on standby!
Don't let stupid people make you cry!!! She's ignorant and needs to read an article about what NOT to say to a pregnant woman. The other day a coworker "so nicely" told me that I was carrying my baby weight all over and I was "spreading". My DH works with me and heard her say this and told her where she could put her words....LOL I just laughed it off because I look at my body everyday and know where my weight is going....everyone else can drink a nice cold glass of shut the front door!!!
Keep your head up and know that you are beautiful regardless of stupid comments...you are cooking a baby
