Inappropriate comments...

Same co worker on two different occasions:

" That shirt makes your chest look deceptively large... " - Me stressing out already because I had to go out and get a bra 3 sizes larger, and I wasn't small before!

 and today after I comment that none of my sisters went early with any of their children, so I don't think I will be either... "Well, we think you will be going early since you are so big already." I am not all that big. Pretty average for just 6 months. She then proceeded to ask me if twins run in the family and if I was sure that there was only one in there... 

 OUCH!!

    i have had a lot of people asking if I am having twins and I don't think I am that big either. I look like I am around the same size as other people on here. I swear that people start to dumb down when they see a pregnant woman. They are so awkward when trying to make conversation that it just sounds bad when they say stuff. What is bad is that they don't even realize how mean they sound.

    I don't know who this person is, but I read your comment and want to tell her to go to hell.  I do not understand why people seem to think that they need to say everything that pops into their heads.  I personally would tell her that both her comments are completely unprofessional and rude.  Tell her that those comments will not be tolerated by you.  If she doesn't stop I'd go to HR and anonymously file a complaint.

    I get asked at least a couple of times every.single.day whether I am due any day now, or if I am having twins.  People are stupid, that's the only answer I can come up with.

    The chest comment was relatively inappropriate, but at least it came from a woman and she didn't use a more derogatory term.  I have coworkers that I am friends with and I would laugh if they said that, and I have other coworkers that it would be weird coming from.
