When people's opinions get to you...

Question

So my appetite has increased a lot recently and when I want to eat it's my baby telling let's fill that tummy up so I can take it all...so my step mom told me told that I will get fat from eating so much. Not only did that piss me off but I have only gained 5 pounds and I'm 15 weeks....I eat just fine but when I'd like a second helping I know it's for my baby and we will be just fine. What pregnant woman wants to be told you will get fat from eating a little tiny extra?!? Sorry I had to rant. This whole pregnancy she has decided that her opinion is law....ugh.....

Answer

When I got pregnant, everyone was all of a sudden an expert in my pregnancy.

Are you using cocoa butter?
Taking vitamins?
Eating vegetables?
You're too early to feel the baby.
 you're definitely having a boy.
you're definitely having a girl. 
You can't do gender neutral baby shower.

Just leave me alone people.

Answer

My husbands grandmother told me that women should hide their bumps and that if I wear regular clothes while pregnant, I will look terrible. She's 89 and crazy so I just let it go, but it's gets aggravating.  She keeps asking me if the doctor has limited my diet.

Answer

I am over all the comments from everyone. I get lectured for working out...nothing crazy just nice brisk 4 mile walks. Way less than I did before pregnant. My cardio was ridiculous before. Tired of people's opinion about names. Tired of my mil calling the baby lil Maggie grace when we don't know gender and even if it is a girl THAT WONT BE HER NAME! She does it on fb, so everyone probably thinks she knows something they don't. I am over hearing everyone's gender guesses based on the way the wind blows.

Answer

Girl, eat your heart out if you want! I mean, not really lol. Be healthy, of course. But totally eat, and pay no mind to the crazies! It is not their business🙅🏼

Answer

Ugh! I've been vacuuming food up like crazy! Thankfully my hubby doesn't complain and my dad (who's opinion matters to me) simply said well your eating for three ( baby, nursing toddler, and myself). Imo a second serving is just fine. If your hungry eat!!!

Answer

People freely giving their opinions and chastising is the WORST thing about being pregnant. Had a friend go through my panties to make sure I was wearing 100% cotton. Just stop!

Answer

I know!!!!!! It's driving me crazy. I am 35....and need to stay active...dr has said I am more than fine...... But the comments from people are annoying.

Answer

Same! I have a coworker who constantly is telling me "girl, you're gonna be so fat!!" Every time she sees me eating! It's annoying!

Answer

I had the same thing with my 1st. My SOs mother would ask me every time I came home from an appointment how much I weighed. And would then respond with "I only gained 20lbs with my first". Everything was a stupid comparison. Finally I told her there will be differences between the two of us considering I'm not even related to her. The comments and unwanted opinions stopped after that.

Answer

You've only gained five pounds? Pshhh. That's nothing. Sounds like you're doing just fine. Even if you'd gained more already, you'd be fine. Some people.
