"Mama big", said a drunk guy
Ugh. I was at a wedding last night and it was the first time my husband's old buddies from where he grew up were seeing me since I've been pregnant. A drunk friend of a friend was like, so do you have 3 or 4 months left then? And I said, I'm 4.5 months along now. And then he said, "Mama big". I know he was drunk but I was insulted and pretty much mortified but I tried to laugh it off. That same guy was also the only one to actually touch my belly earlier in the evening when he first found out. 🤦♀️
I've looked at photos of other people's bellies at this stage and it seems like there's a big range of sizes but now I'm trying not to feel bad about myself. I've always had body image issues, even when I was thin and now I'm probably 20 pounds overweight on top of being pregnant.
Stress plus depression issues plus a husband with a sweet tooth haven't made things easier for me to stick to a healthy weight. Anyway, I wish people would keep their thoughts about my body to themselves if they can't help but judge.
What stupid things have people said to you?
