| "You're getting more and more PLUMP"
What kind of a comment is that? When I reminded this lady that I was NOT plump...I was PREGNANT...she went on to say, "I know but you just get bigger and bigger every single day! OY!! I just don't know what to say when people are so insensitive! I am only 5'3" to begin with. This is my 2nd child...and I just get BIG when I am pregnant (I only weigh about 120 normally)....last pregnancy I gained 72 lbs. (had toxemia in the end). This time I've "Only" gained about 38 lbs. so far, so I'm feeling pretty good, but UGH! I just want to slap people sometimes...oh yeah, and I have no tolerance right now either! I've been on bedrest for 9 weeks now, so I think I've done fairly well  . Granted, I could've done without the ice cream and onion rings today . |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I hate it when people are like that! They are just clueless! No, I am not "about to pop," I am 7 1/2 months! I've gotten good at heading them off and as soon as their eyebrows go up, I say "Yeah, I know I'm HUGE, right?" and laugh.
I have had an incurable craving for onion rings this pregnancy!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I'm quite concious of my figure and don't particularly like having a big stomach and yesterday I had at least 5 people tell me how big my stomach is getting finally. Not really what I want to hear!!!
Why do people always feel the need to a) comment about your stomach and b) touch it !!! Its so damn annoying. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Why do people think they can make comments like that when your pregnant? That is especially the time they need to be more sensitive. So many people have commented on how huge/big my bump is....DUH! I'm pregnant! What did they think was going to happen? I never realised there are so many insensitive people around and the worst thing of all is most of them are women!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I would have sarcastically said 'well that tends to happen when you have an ENTIRE HUMAN BEING GROWING INSIDE YOU. Everyday it gets bigger, that is the point. That is what is supposed to happen.' then I would have added 'bitch' under my breath. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Well Frog it is true, seriously, are we supposed to remain stick thin? No. People are just annoying me with their comments. I know they don't mean anything by it, but sometimes they should think before opening their mouth. |
