I'm not helpless!!

Thorn

Does it ever offend anyone when people treat you like you are helpless even though you are just pregnant and not handicapped in any way?? It's been happening to me since I announced I was pregnant. But it's getting on my nerves a lot lately.

For example, yesterday I lifted a box at work that was not heavy at all and my coworker was judging me and saying how that was totally unnecessary and I was putting myself at risk.

First of all, I know my limits and if i thought it was too heavy I would not have lifted it and asked someone to help me. Secondly, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't stay active and be healthy. The same coworker judged me for taking the stairs everyday to the fourth floor and said I should "slow down".... these are just a few examples out of many.

I know this person is just being a caring individual but I didn't ask for advice and I don't appreciate the judgement.

Sorry for the rant. Just needed to vent. Is anyone else experiencing this too??
