Dealing with comments about weight gain 😕

Sophia • 32 years old, pregnant with our first baby, married for 4 years but together with my husband for a total of 14 years.
Just curious about how you ladies are handling comments about your weight gain. I'm only 4'11 so the weight gain has looked pretty significant on me. The picture on the left is from this past December for Christmas just a month or so before I got pregnant and the picture on the right is from last week at 24 weeks pregnant. People are constantly saying things about how big I am and how I look like I'm carrying twins. Someone at my job keeps saying I'm having a Kim Kardasian type of pregnancy because I'm "blowing up all over". I was even compared to my coworker who was 38 weeks when I was 17 weeks at her baby shower at work and was told that I looked bigger than her. There's a ton of more comments but basically they're all about how huge I look. I've always struggled with my weight. I had lost 40 lbs in order to look as thin at I did for that Christmas pic by constantly dieting and working out for the past 4 years (kickboxing, spin classes and running). So I'm very self conscious about my weight. These comments have been extremely hurtful although I know people aren't trying to hurt me. But it's like people feel like they can make all these comments about my body and I'm not supposed to be hurt by them because I'm pregnant. I end up awkwardly agreeing with them when they comment about my weight because I don't know what else to do and then I go to the bathroom and cry. Anyone else struggling with this? I have so many events coming up but I just want to hide at home because the anxiety of people seeing me and making comments about my weight is really overwhelming. My husband has been amazing. He compliments me everyday and always calls me beautiful but it's hard when everyone is focusing so much on how big I am now. I'm not due until late October and everyone keeps telling me that I look like I'm due in August. Is this happening to anyone else? I'm very excited about this pregnancy (our first baby and it's a girl) but my body image issues are really getting in the way of fully enjoying this journey 😕
