Things never to say to a pregnant woman


I have been getting an assortment of annoying comments lately from everyone, even people I dont know! Dont they know that you feel fat as is?? Anyway, here are some...

"Wow your face looks really swollen!" from my mom of all people, doesnt she think I know that!

"Are you sure your not having twins?" from a guy at church, that made me feel like a giant whale.

"Wow looks like your going to have a BIG baby!" from a woman checking me out at the grocery store, just a nicer way of saying Im enormous!

"Jeez your HUGE!! Could you get any bigger?" from my insensative brother in law, I almost cried, but held it in.

"Your stretch marks are disgusting!" from my brother, I guess I can forgive him, hes only 18...

There have been many other comments but I wont share them all.

What about you guys? Have you been getting these types of comments too??

I wouldn't go downstairs earlier because all my sisters friends were here (and still are) and they have been smoking all day and she said "don't worry Vic they all know how fat you are already."

Apart from that I get comments on how small my bump is. I don't think she'd call me fat if I actually was. Still hurt though.

I hate how the word "fat" is somehow interchangeable with the word "pregnant" in sentences when your pregnant to everyone.

Exactly!

My sister informed me last week that when I'm not pregnant anymore she won't call me "fat," she'll call me "saggy." Umm, thanks sis!

People are so insensitive.

The only comments I've gotten are from my in-laws who told me I'd gotten fatter (they saw me when I was 5 weeks pregnant and didn't see me again until I was 5 and a half months pregnant so yeah I'd gotten bigger)

Sorry hun! People can be so rude!

Lots of my relative said nasty hurtful things to me too... They just don't think before they say it, do they? It made me so depressed and I cried so much. Like your not feeling shitty enough, they have to bring you down.

I saw a T-shirt saying:'' I just had a baby, what's your excuse? '' LOL

Try to hang in there girl

I hate hearing "I was so much bigger than you when I was pregnant." My mum always says it and it bothers me so much. My baby is just fine in my small bump.

I have come to the conclusion that people just f*cking suck when it comes to comments about being pregnant.
