My co-worker just told me that I am looking SUPER pregnant. I said, well, I am 24 weeks pregnant. She said that with my other co-worker, you couldn't even tell that she was pregnant until she was about 8 months along... but that's probably because she was always running and eating healthy.
I thought my belly was looking cute. I was even accentuating it today with an empire top cinched at the waist. I have gained too much weight, but my midwife said it was within reason. I know I shouldn't let her comments affect me, but now I feel enormous and insecure
Under what circumstances is it OK to make those kinds of comments about my body? I am also tired, as an example, of people telling me about how I am going to HAVE to use an epidural because birth is so hard when I haven't asked their opinion or brought up that topic. I feel like many people are trying to scare me about birth, make me feel badly about my body, etc... I wish we lived in a culture where pregnant women were viewed as a more beautiful thing.

My coworkers keep commenting on my boobs (which have grown two cup sizes) and saying "just wait until your milk comes in!!" Ugh. All right - my boobs are big. Whatever. You don't need to point it out.

Your coworker sounds like a ***. Can I say that on the bump?
ETA: Nope. Guess I can't. But she does.
She sounds like a peach.
Sorry.
