Should I be offended?

Question

I told a close male friend at work that I'm pregnant (was 6 weeks at that point) and a week later he made a comment that he doesn't know how others haven't realized I'm pregnant yet bc I look like I'm retaining a ton of water. Then today (7W4D) I told a girlfriend and she said when she saw me a week ago she thought I had gained some weight but didn't want to say anything, she also said it looks like I'm retaining a bunch of water. Should I be offended? Are they saying I look fat? LOL

Answer

Nah people say all kinds of things. And if these people are close enough to you for you to share your pregnancy news already, then they're probably going to say more than anyone else might. Don't sweat it! I bet you're glowing 😊

Answer

Lol people just want to comment on something. Don't take it personally.

Answer

Nah, people say dumb things all the time. Plus bloating around that time is super common anyway. 
For people who've never been through pregnancy sometimes they don't know it can take 20 or so weeks to even start REALLY showing. I swear some people thing you get pregnant and instantly have a bump lol

Answer

Yeah I told someone I was due Nov 22 & he said wow, you are going to have a huge baby, or twins! Ugh, lol. No just 1 baby boy who only weighs 14 oz as of now, geeez.

Answer

People say the craziest things when ur pregnant!

I've gained over 30 lbs and everyone's like "oh I couldn't tell, u look great" which is very nice but then I think what the heck, did they think I was always this fat??? Lol

Answer

I'd be bummed personally. But I always take things to heart that maybe I shouldn't :( 
-best advice is to try and brush it off. Sorry.
