Need to vent..My mother was on a roll this evening..
I just needed somewhere to vent for a minute. We had a small get together with my family tonight for 2 birthdays being celebrated. My aunt that I haven’t seen since my baby shower came and she made the comment that I’m glowing and you can see it in my face that I’m going to be a proud mom. She also made the comment that you can tell I’m ready lol because I’m tired and far along. I have zero complaints about her. She is so sweet and wasn’t trying to say anything negative. Then there’s my mom....she agreed with my aunt and then proceeded to say “yes, you can definitely tell in your face now..it’s looking a bit chunky..you definitely look pregnant”....yes..she used that word..chunky..I haven’t really experienced many moments of being hormonal but that word just made me want to run into the bathroom and cry so hard..I was so embarrassed and self conscious...I’m ok with the weight I’ve gained because I know why I have but it does still get to me sometimes because prior to becoming pregnant, I had lost 40lbs to assist in TTC. So of course gaining weight back sucks buuut I’m proud of my pregnancy body anyway. It gets worse....awhile after saying that (which she knows it bothered me because I’m sure my expression said a lot) she then, with a smile on her face as if she was trying to make it sound like a positive comment, told my aunt that I’m going to have a large baby...that with how big my stomach is, I’m bound to have a very big baby.....😒seriously?! Ok maybe I will or maybe I won’t.. who knows. I just wanted to cry again because I felt like the evening was just a constant jab at my size..who says these things to a pregnant woman?! Especially another woman! Everyone else that was there were clearly shocked at what she said to me. It was so rude and she tried to turn it around like i had no reason to be offended.... after that I just wanted to go home and hide under my blanket.
