I don't understand certain people

I was about 40 pounds over weight when I got pregnant, but before that I had lost 80 pounds. I am 27 weeks pregnant and don't feel like I look like I am that far along just because I already had some of a belly. But there is a bump there and I don't understand why people have to act like I am not pregnant. My bump is still looking like a B bump, where the majority is over my belly button. I am a teacher and we had to go back to work last week for two weeks of training and getting the school ready and then school starts on August 6. On the first day back we had to sit at lunch tables that are benches that you have to climb into. I have been having hip pains just from the changes that have been occuring and sleeping on them at night, so it is harder for me to move my legs in a way to climb into a bench. One of my follow teachers said she would switch with me, so I could just slide on at the end and another teacher, who I thought was a friend, said under her breath but loud enough that I could hear, "She isn't even showing that much". I almost said something back to her because she doesn't know what it is like to be pregnant, but I didn't want to get into at 8:15 on the first day. It is just frustrating that she would say that.

Re: I don't understand certain people
That is annoying. I just hope karma comes around and bites them in the you know what when theyre pregnant.
I probably would have gone ape s#!t because my temper is horrendous nowadays. Good job for keeping your cool.
It is. But there are a thousand reasons why she might be feeling a little bitchy. I don't know her circumstances (and by no means am I excusing her words) but infertility is a real downer and can cause women to act in ways that are less than compassionate. I know. I was once one of them. Hold your head high and try to let it roll off your back. Easier said than done, I know.
