Are you getting fat yet?!?!

Question

Ok, so I was on thr phone with my father and I hear my step mom yelling in the back ground 'ask if she is getting fat yet'
1. I'm hoping not to  be as big as her when I deliver.
2. I'm not worried about being a mom or any of that, I'm concerned that my metabolism will change so much and I'll become a cow
3. Rude as fuck?
Ok so this offended me to the fullest. I was pissed. I've been struggling with that concept lately, as my belly grows larger. I wasn't a small girl to begin with, but curvy and had a little belly.  I just want to know if this type of shit offends you too, or is it just me.  I just thought it was so damn rude...I know everyone has something to say and judge me on, I don't care...but as a woman who had been pregnant herself, I just figured commen sense would tell her it was rude.

Answer

I think it's very rude. My mom said she wants photos of me when I get fat 🙄 I work out 5-6 days a week and take a yoga class 1-2 times a week as well. I am very big on health and am more than proud of the body the I have. I have a HUGE issue with gaining weight (unless it's muscle). I've never been fat or weighed more than 124 pounds and I'm already extremely worried about it. My anxiety is already through the roof and I see myself settling back into depression as well when I start that weight gain. My husband makes sure to continue to promote my healthy eating and work outs and continues to tell me I'm beautiful on a daily basis but sometimes family and friends just don't get it. Going through this pregnancy is going to be really hard on me.

Answer

I try to just laugh about it. Our bodies are going to change in ways we don't like. I figure I can either laugh or cry. I always tell my husband, "look how fat I'm getting!" and he just rolls his eyes, tells me I'm dumb, and laughs right along with me. I refuse to be depressed about my body for the next year! We're growing little miracles!

Answer

I cried like a baby when my little brother called me fat at 24 weeks pregnant

Answer

I don't think anybody should comment on anybody's weight pregnant or not but people tend to think its ok to call out pregnant women! It's funny because
We can't help it but we get called fatso🙄. My grandmother greeted me with fatty yesterday and mentioned to my 4 y.o "your mommies getting fat!" Needless to say my son was not impressed and said "THATS MY BROTHER IN THERE!"

Answer

With my first my sister told me I looked like an egg with arms and legs. I think it's just their sense of humor because my sister didn't mean to be rude and I honestly just laughed. My good friend and coworker is 6 weeks behind me and I tell her that her ass is bigger than her belly all the time (she knows she's got a huge butt). I am not being rude when I say it, she knows I'd trade butts with her anyway considering I have no ass lol.

Answer

I was visiting my grandparents two weeks after delivering my daughter and had already gotten my pregnant body back and when one of their family friends came over, she looked at me and was like "Oh my god. I haven't seen you be not fat yet. This is so weird." 
It caught me off guard and made me feel horrible until I leveled my mind and realized that I wasn't even fat while pregnant. I was literally all belly. The comment sucked too because I used to struggle with an eating disorder and still have triggering thoughts so that very easily could've turned into a bad situation. People really need to think before they speak.
