What on earth? That is not appropriate – whether cloaked in “joking” or not. I would not tolerate my husband calling me names or commenting on my eating. That is extremely disrespectful to both the person, and the season of pregnancy. I would give a guy an earful if I heard him talking like that about any pregnant woman.

I agree with everyone's comments here - it's out of order for him to make those kind of comments to you. He doesn't know what it's like to be pg, you need to eat more and it sounds like you're making far better choices with your snacks than I am

I've not had any comments from my DH about what I'm eating, but I was eating a granola bar at work the other day when one of my colleagues said "wow, is that just a snack bar, it's huge!" I was so taken aback by it I didn't know what to say

I know I am a little touchy about my weight but that stems from past issues in a failed marriage but my dear OH doesn't care a jot about what I weigh. There are the occasional joking comment but is actually done in a way where you can tell its a joke, had one last night while he was rubbing my back and tapped my backside and it wobbled *shudder* I commented on how it was horrible and he just told me "don't worry mine does it too and I don't even have the excuse of being preggers"

My ex on the other hand could be quite mean about weight issues which coming from someone who weighted between 18-22 stone was pure meanness seeing as I was a size 10-12 and had born him a child. But after we split I did manage to get a little bit of my own back, while on a night out with current OH he was in the same place and made a stupid comment about the size of my boobs (I'm not top heavy lol) and somehow I managed to shoot back "Oh you are just jealous because yours are bigger than mine" He shut his mouth pretty darn quick once he learnt his ex wife had grown a pair bigger than his


Oh and sorry for the ramble I have been up a while but still not functioning on full capacity yet hehehe

I would be furious if my DH even looked at me like he thought I was eating too much! I was a little over weight to start with and have put on 2 stone during this pregnancy - as I'm short it makes me look like a whale...

If my DH made such comments he would find himself locked out of the house - as the others say at least you eat healthy stuff - if I snack it's on chocolate constantly...

I honestly don't know how you put up with it. It could be worse - one lady in my NCT group has put on a reasonable amount of weight and weighed nearly 15 stone and was told by her DH if she reached 15 stone they were headed for divorce...he also did weekly measurements to see how big her boobs, stomache, arse etc had got...

Honestly men can be such w***as.

Dont let it get to you hon - you'll be able to lose it once you've had the baby no problem

Big hugs

My OH makes comments but they are not mean't to hurt me. The other day I said that I was big, fat and Ugly and he replied.... Your not ugly babe!!! So I said but I am big and fat then.... he said yeah but only cause your pregnant.

If I say to him that I'm hungry or I fancy something to eat he always encourages me to do it, which is not a good thing as I have GD and have to really watch what I'm eating.

So far I have gained 22lb, and was only putting weight on my bump.... But this last week I have started to swell, my ankles, calfs and hands . OH makes comments on it but more in a sympathetic way than an insulting way..

Like someone else said, if I was you, I would find an insult to come back at him with any time he says anything.....

BIG

thanks for all your replies girls. i mean i know he does genuinely think he's joking but what hurts the most is he KNOWS how consious i am about my weight. i've told him that i will loose it all after having the baby and he just says things like yeah yeah! no encouragement. i only have 4 weeks left so i'm just going to enjoy them and enjoy what im eating i've told him that what he says won't stop me eating what i want. (just to clarify i do eat ALOT of chocolate aswell which i never used to eat). next time he does say something i will go mad i promise. beucase its just so annoying and why should i have to try and hide what i eat in my own home just to stop him saying something to me!! grr bloody men hey!! xxx

Maybe you should tell him he looks like he's put on a bit of weight too (even if he hasn't)..tell him that most men put on a stone while their OHs are pregnant...if he says he hasn't just say oh well you must just be letting yourself go a little bit...then say Only Joking honey
xx

you may just need to say to him he needs to stop the "jokes" cause hes the only one finding them funny an tell him that its hurting your feelings!!
if it was my hubby i would have gone nuts the first time it was said! somtimes men jus dont get it an dont understand that this sort of thing does get to us! my (male) friend called my fatty an i jus took one look at him said to him look whos talking i'm pregnant whats your excuse? an tried to shrug it off but he never did it again xxx
i hope things get better with your oh get better xx

He's being really insensitive, but he probably doesn't realise how much it's upsetting you. My OH has made the odd jokey comment which resulted in me almost bursting into tears, so he doesn't anymore! Hormones It sounds like you're eating fine and going for things that are good for you most of the time, so don't worry about it. I'd probably give him a slap though

oh. My. God.!!!!!!!
