I'm Currently Feeling: 



a little rant at insenstitive people


...AGAIN!.

yesterday a colleague dared to say that my 5.5kilo weight gain is quite a lot as you usually gain most of your weight in the last tri.....I mean, does she think I dont have feelings? Does she think I'm not hormonal and that this pregnancy things and changing body isnt all a little new and daunting to me?

Why should people make such comments???? Would they comment if it was just regular weight gain and my arse was expanding at a fast rate of knots? I dont think so.

My doc was happy with my weight so why would soemone feel the need to comment beyond that? I'm doing my best to not worry and my DB tells me I'm doing MY preganncy MY way and that if I'm hungry I should eat and to not worry and he loves me and baby.....so that helps..

I love having a bump. I really do. Its fantasic, it's my favourite shape I've ever been. BUT STILL it gets right up my nose that people feel it's ok to say such things.

AND JUST NOW AGAIN - my boss commented that my belly is big. I replied firmly that I'm not big, my weight is fine according to the doc, and she said no - but your belly is big. I pointed out that in a week or two I'm half way there and that made her quiet...oooof....

*hugs* i know what you mean. I've had a sudden bump spurt and EVERYONE (just about) has to comment on it.

I try to ignore it, and grin and bare it. People tend to forget about our feeling during pregnancy and just come out with things.

Hope you feel better soon. Enjoying being pregnant!

next time you should just reply with something like "oh i didn't realise you were expecting too??? whens it due???" that will shut them up, and make them cry. Go obsess over your own weight you nosey whores, rather than make our tinytoes feel like crap. xx Sorry it just makes me mad that people are so god damn insensitive xx

Forget people like that they are not worth you even thinking about them - I use to be 9 and half stone before pregnancy - I am now 13 stone so I have put on 3 and half stone and I still got 9 weeks left . I was 11 stone when I was 16 weeks and 12 and half when i was 24 weeks. People have said that it is allot but I dont care I havent put on much weight anywhere else but my bump and I am not over eating so i am not worrying what they have to say x
