Insecurity and pregnancy

Vanessa

So my SO and I were talking about how slammed I've been with pregnancy symptoms. (just about every one of them!) I said that my best friend, who is also pregnant but further along than I am, is lucky because she had barely any! He said it was ironic because shes so "tiny" and that he thought it would take more for her.. I know I shouldn't take things out of context but my friend is very small and I'm very plus sized so any time he compares us he always jumps to weight. I know I shouldn't be offended but right now I feel enormous (bloating doesn't help any and I know my baby bump will never be as cute as hers) and his comment didn't help any.. Did anyone else feel this way or have this problem and didn't want to say anything or overreact?
