Pregnancy Fire Starters

in December 2015 Moms
This is my first Pregnancy after two misscarages in the past, my little peanut is so strong he's hanging in there.  With all the hormones are raging, I find myself getting very aggresive and mean towards people making comments like:  "Your face is getting fat" Why are you eating slow?  Your'e eating too much.  This is a real "Fire Starter" for me.  How do you guys handle it?  I'm trying to be extra careful.

    I just smile and walk away. They aren't the ones making a baby and it's not their lives so I just ignore it. If it gets too much I rant to my husband and cry it out lol

    Lol I'd be pretty blunt and ask them are they for f*@king real! Lol then laugh at their stupidity. ....if they don't have common sense not to ask those questions or say those things they other need to learn to keep their trap shut or not be around me lol

    It depends on the day for me, really. There's some days where I can just brush it off and tell myself they're just dumb. But the days where I'm already having a bad day and am just waiting for someone to say something, I let them have it. It's usually just turning what they said back on them. "I'm making a baby, what's your excuse?" Littered with expletives, of course. If they can dish it, they can take it.

    Wow, i'm surprised at the nerve of people for you all! Thankfully I haven't had to deal with anyone yet, but just now starting to "show." They better hope they don't mess with me...  =))

    "Your face its getting fat." ???!!! How could anyone think this is something ok to say? 

    I feel like my already short fuse is even shorter now with pregnancy. I have gestational diabetes and follow a very specific diet to keep my blood sugar levels under control because that is what's best for my baby and my body. People have made comments that I'm being too strict because they're aunt/cousin/brother has type 2 and isn't anywhere near that strict with their diet, I'm not eating enough for the baby, and how much could one piece of cake possibly hurt? I usually say my doctor says I'm doing fine and not keeping it under control can cause a lot of scary complications, then try to change the subject or just walk away from that person- and then poor dh gets to hear me vent about it later. Actually he's usually pretty upset about the things people say too.

    I've had only one person make comments like that, to which I replied when they are coming over to go through my kitchen and make a proper meal plan for me, cook for me so I know my meals are perfect according to them, and how often they'll be buying my groceries. Although according to my hubby I also gave a pretty strong glare though I didn't intend to heh.

    Needless to say, she hasn't made comments like that since. Far as family and the rest of friends, they tend to know better.

    Find a friend to whom you can vent your horrible responses to stupid people. I have a friend who i texted today "on a daily basis Jane doe exceeds my wildest imaginings of how very ignorant people can be and live to adulthood" If you need a such a friend I am available.

    I have a really short fuse at the moment so I tend to snap on people from time to time. And if looks could kill my life would be short a few people.

    I am a huge bitch this pregnancy. Well aware of it. I'm not FB announcing just because I know my blabber mouth family wants to shout it to every stranger. I'm also considering not telling anyone what baby is just because I can.

    I think this stems from people not respecting me as DD's mother. I'm overcompensating with control over this one.

    I've gained 5 lbs and it's all in my abdomen. So when strangers say I don't look pregnant, when everyone else I know thinks I look extremely pregnant, I wanna punch them in their stupid face.

    This exactly! Every time I see this one co worker she comments on how I still don't look pregnant at all. Like I'm sorry I didn't know I was supposed to suddenly blow up over night. I'll get right on that. =;

    People are annoying!  I can't believe people are telling you that stuff.  Hopefully not strangers.  I get tired of people telling me to "be careful" and telling me what to do and not do.

    I ride and train horses, so my barn manager the other day was telling me "be careful"  I wanted to punch her in the face because she was calling me out in front of a couple of people who all gasped at the thought I was on a horse pregnant.  I rolled my eyes and rode on.  This is my second pregnancy and I know the risks.  I also had another barn member telling me to drink lots of water because its hot.  Yes, thank you.  I'm staying well hydrated.

    I have to hold my tongue a lot of the time... Some people at work seriously wind me up with their attitudes of being better than you. Like seriously, grow up! They seem to think I'm not going to be as good at my job now in pregnant and i'm like what?!!! (P.s I'm a teacher in England) then there's the "be careful you can't do that" stuff. It's my body, I know my limits thankyou! And i'm pregnant not ill! I can do my job!
    Anyways, rant over! Haha apart from that I am always a model of calm and decorum! ;)
