insensitive comments

~X( Why is it that people feel it is acceptable to make comments about my breasts and breastfeeding?! I keep getting then "you might not be able to breastfeed without smothering the baby" comment. What am I supposed to say to that? Any ideas?

  • I feel stupid people with such comments don't even deserve a replay .
  • I've heard that one before! My boobs were DD before pregnancy and have gone up at least a few sizes. From experience people never have a filter when it comes to breasts not just when you're pregnant. I agree tell them off.
  • People say so many dumb things to pregnant women. All you can really do is smile and say "I'll have a very Well fed baby" or something. I get compared to my SIL all the time and how i look like she looked at 9 months and I'm only five months. Drives me nuts!

    Dude seriously my husband's grandma every fucking day comments on my boobs. "If those get any bigger I tell ya you're screwed!" And "you can't tell what's bigger your boobs or your stomach."
    And it's every.. single .. day
  • My mother told me I was carrying baby weight in my ass. She saw me at 16 weeks and yeah my ass is kinda big...but I mean I was offended! Ive not gotten any rude comments. DH tells me that my belly is getting bigger by the day though, lol.

  • :open_mouth: I can't believe people actually say this stuff! Call me naive but wow.

    My hubs comments on the stretch marks (they're silvery but growing) every day, plus how hard belly is getting but he's allowed. Anyone else would just get a sarcastic comment I think!

  • My mom started the comments before I became pregnant..."your body isn't going to look like that ever again" kind of taunting. She thought she was being funny. I finally sat her down and explained to her how stressful and hurtful her comments were. For once she actually listened and has been great since with shutting down other peoples stupid comments. Thanks momma!!!!
  • Just shrug it off or tell them to shove it. People seem to lose their filters as soon as they see a pregnant woman for some reason. Why ever that may happen, it's a clear case of 'tell them where to go or just walk away' - no point in dwelling. Can't fix stupid.

  • Luckily I haven't gotten any rude comments yet. Maybe it's because I tend to have a resting bitch face anyways, lol. But I do know if someone did say something it would not go over well!
