How would you respond

I’ve had comments made about my body in work. One day I had enough and said “the last thing a pregnant person wants to hear is any comment about their body, positive or not” and it immediately stopped. Sometimes you just need to be direct 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s totally annoying ppl commenting on bump size! So next time she says anything you could just say ‘thanks xyz, but I’d really prefer if you didn’t comment on my bump size. I don’t comment on your body’.
Being blunt like this will probably shock/embarrass her and tbh might ruin your relationship but it is inappropriate and doesn’t sound like you’ve got a good relationship anyway.
If you really feel upset by it you could speak to HR, as it is a workplace issue. I’d probably respond directly first though.

Also, I’m a strong believer that if you don’t call ppl out when they are dickheads they’ll never fricking learn. And they typically always deserve it. So I’d just tell her straight, don’t get upset and don’t get your partner to say anything!

Ugh I’m sorry you’re experiencing this, some people are just so irritating with no filter aren’t they 🫣.
I agree with the above comment, next time just say ‘Our baby is growing right on track thank you!’ and absolutely mention that you don’t need comments made about your body, your growing a literal human, we go through enough! xx

I’d go to HR or make my manager aware and ask them to raise it with HR. You wouldn’t comment on someone’s body in any other scenario.

Love Sarah’s response! Sometimes you just need to be firm and say it how it is! You have every right to be annoyed and it sounds like she needs taking down a peg!

Tbh I've been told I'm big from the very beginning as I looked 5months pregnant when I was 8 weeks and couldn't hide my belly at all. I was a size 12/14 previous to being pregnant but instantly went massive.
I'm so used to it now but really bothered me at the beginning. when people say how big I am I just reply with I know, My little princess is growing healthy n happy in there.
What do people expect when your growing a human inside ur belly. You ain't gona be a skinny mini lol just embrace it

I had the opposite I was a six /8 before getting pregnant and had severe back problems prior to pregnancy and I am told how small I am and that how will I cope with it when I'm bigger, well today baby measured at 90% on the line so he's just perfect healthy size but yeah I would get annoyed because it's like oh your to small or something don't be dramatic about anything 🤷 people are strange when you get pregnant thinking they can touch you and comment on your body I was told by my brother in law at our gender reveal hi chubby that was all that was said to me that day just lack of respect and boundaries I guess I would be blunt good luck

You can either act like you love her comments about your gorgeous big baby and bump (which would probs wind her up more) or just tell her outright if she keeps commenting on your body you will make a complaint or start commenting on her body

@Sarah you are right.can't stand her so even better if she gives me space.she's always been jealous of me being with my bf. I know she wants to be rude. She also said that I'm soooo big to my bf when I wasn't around.
