That's not sensitive, that shit was rude as fuck. I got huge and fast with my daughter and I admit, I wondered if I had a set in there at first too, but that's not right for other people to ask that. Like suddenly everyone is a fucjing doctor ffs.🙄 I took it as meaning I looked like a whale and it made me so angry it resulted in multiple incidents of ugly angry crying. That guy can eat my shorts. I'd ask him if he was pregnant the next time I saw him just to be a bitch.🤷♀️

I know I’m being sensitive, but I’m hormonal sooo....here we go 🙃
I’m really self conscious about my looks. Like, really. I’ve always been on the curvier side my whole life and my pregnancies haven’t helped in that regard. My family (me, my husband, our two year old, and his parents) went on a beach vacation and my MIL wanted to take pictures for me. I thought it was sweet, as I hadn’t gotten to take pictures when I was pregnant with my daughter and my son is our rainbow baby.
I hesitated, but I posted some on my Facebook because I felt really pretty and feminine for the first time in a while. Everyone commented how pretty I was and how they can’t wait to meet Ronan (our son’s name). Until one. This guy who insisted on being friends with me because he’s a “friend” of my husband’s. It’s in quotations because my husband doesn’t really like him, he goes to our church and thinks that because we helped him through a rough patch in his marriage through a peer group that we want to be friends...we were just helping as part of the group.
Anyway, he writes “are you sure there aren’t twins in there lol”. Y’all.
I was raised to believe you NEVER comment on a woman’s body, much less if she is pregnant. Saying you look nice today is one thing. But you never know how you can trigger someone about their appearance with a comment, so I usually stick with a compliment towards an outfit or makeup or hair.
I’m being sensitive, I know. But I was really annoyed by that. I don’t find it cute or funny. He doesn’t know me well enough to make jokes about my pregnancy or about me at all, to be honest. And yes, before anyone suggests, he was unfriended for it. 😆

For real. It chaps my hide that a pregnant woman is suddenly everyone's science project. Don't tell me what to eat or drink and that I look like a house. Assholes.

For real!! I commented under the comment and was like “yes. I’m sure. This isn’t an appropriate thing to ask a pregnant woman.” Like, I’m much bigger with my son than I was with my daughter. But the last thing I need is that fact being pointed out 😆😅 Thanks, momma 💜
While I wouldn’t be annoyed with the comment, I know plenty of women who are. People need to refrain from commenting if it’s going to be about how big you are 😒🙄

Yeah, I think I would have been able to brush it off if I already wasn’t feeling so sensitive about how I look, you know? But thanks! I agree. If what I say about someone’s appearance isn’t going to make them smile, I tend to not say it. Unless it’s something minor like their skirt being up in the back or something like that
