I'm not sure what my problem is, but lately I am so easily offended!! I've heard of pregnant women being offended if someone touches their belly and i thought "that'll never be me". (So far belly touches don't bother me at all) BUT, I am having issues with some comments.. let me share..
A woman at work constantly checks my stomach weekly for growth, and when she didn't see much belly one day said
"You don't look pregnant, you look like you've eaten a big lunch though"
How rude?? The same lady continued to say this to me yesterday...
"Oh Stefanie **pinching her cheeks** Your cheeks are starting to get pudgy!! Don't worry, you don't want a SKINNY face, its better to have a CHUBBY face to make you look younger"
No offense, but this woman is heavily overweight, and i thought it INSANE that she say this to me!!
Today while chatting with a lame high school friend he asked how hearing the heartbeat of the baby is.. I said "It is really fun to hear"
He wasn't happy with my response and went on "Fun? Thats a SILLY word to use. I guess I will be much more EMOTIONAL when that time comes for me...But what do I know"
Excuse me? You obviously know NOTHING! Are you implying that I'm not emotional??? How dare you!
Oh and you can't forget the ever popular "You're looking BIG today!" comment, that i'm learning to just say "yep" to.
Was anyone else as offended as me? Or am i just super-hormonal haha.
p.s. to add to my already cranky-butt self.. Dr Nix told me i might have to wait another week for my ultrasound because his equiptment may or may not be in the office in time. : MAN ALIVE i've only been counting down the minutes until next week!!!!!

You are super-hormonal, but just get used to the comments. They get worse...but I always believe that people mean the best, they just don't always know how to go about verbalizing it.
Did anything I just said offend you? 'Cause I didn't mean it in a bad way. :)
Crap. Did THAT offend you?
Now I'm just paranoid.
(hee hee)
hahaha, NO u didn't offend me :) If u didn't call me fat or tell me how i should feel then ur good :)
Oooo, comments about pudgy cheeks, ooooo, that offends me! Wait, I'm hormonal too. But regardless of our "sensitivity" people do say ridiculous things when you're pregnant and expect you to think it's appropriate. Whatever!
I think you look perfect!
How RUDE!!!! Chubby??!?!?!?! You are anything but chubby. People are so dumb!
People don't realize that they are rude at times. And hormonal yes that is the territory for pregnancy,but what was said to you would offend anyone pregnant or not. ;) I think you look great (if that counts for anything)! :)
One of my coworkers told me I don't look pregnant, just bloated.
You just gotta get used to it, man. Roll with it. Find the humor. :-)
lol.. Whenever I used to walk into class in Augusta the same girl would always say "Hey Belly!" to me..
You're beautiful Preggers, and those people, they're just jealous.
