Pregnancy Vent Thread #2

[Mrs BB]

I'm fat anyway and DREADING the day someone asks me if I am fat or pregnant!

Same here hun... someone asked me today if I am starting to show... I said I dunno as I already have a tummy!!!

I thought I wasn't showing either but I have lot 5 kilos (damn morning sickness) and my button up top doesn't button up on the bottom part of my but anymore so there must be something there under the fat roll! :-)

hey everyone

oh blueiris - i wish i was in ur situation - i'm 18.5 weeks and not showing at all - only put on half a kilo ... ppl at work keep commenting to me that i'm not showing and raise their eyebrows like i'm lying or having a phantom pregnancy.

I think it is SO rude ppl commenting on bellies. everyone is different. i never tell ppl if they're big or small for their stage of pregnancy. no ones business.!!

[myson]

not showing yet either but already some people feel they have the right to my belly!!!! gggrrrr

and the whole "was that an accident?" thing too....

and the "i bet your hoping its a boy" thing too

[mustangsachy]

OMG myson - me too - even tho not showing - people come up and touch me.

None of my friends have randomly grabbed me - they all ask - but associates and colleagues who i barely know grab me and touch my stomach.

i find it so rude.

You need to start grabbing their bellies back! That's what I plan to do... haven't had any random gropes though!

Someone asked me "are you married?" when I was pregnant. I really dont see how my marital status is relevent to my pregnancy!

And towards the end of my pregnancy I had to get DH to help me put on my shoes because I had trouble doing it myself due to a bum and pair of legs pushing my ribs up into my throat constantly.

The constant "advice" from random people was annoying too, especially completely dumb advice from people who had never been pregnant or didnt have any babies themselves.

And all the people who kept on harrassing me about not drinking any alcohol because of my pregnancy - "oh I drank and my kids are just fine". That lovely to know - that was you and this is me, so shut up and let me do what I want to do!
