Comments have started 🙃
I'm 33w2d today and hid my pregnancy up until 30-31 weeks, so no one has seen me since I've gotten bigger, and the comments have already been flooding in.
Most have been harmless, like "you're getting a belly!" "You're carrying high," like all obvious but whatever.
Today I got the first one that truly annoyed me. My MIL stopped by to bring us some cookies she made and said something like, "You look good for being pregnant!" Followed by "you must not be gaining a lot of weight" I said, "I've actually gained more than I'd like, I'm not too happy about it" to which she said, "oh, you'll just lose it right away" 🙃 thanks for the bounce back pressure. It took me a year to a year and a half to lose all the pregnancy weight with my last babies and I hated it. I'm struggling so badly with how much I've gained right now and don't like the way I look, specifically my 6 like this whole conversation just irked me 🥲 she could've just left it at "you look great".
I don't think I've ever gotten one ACTUAL comment in all 3 of my pregnancies without it being kinda backhanded in some way. I already know I'm going to struggle SO hard with how fat I'm going to look after having my baby.

I feel you. I work in retail and if one more mfckn customer tries to touch me without asking/permission, tells me that “I’m ready to pop” or “wow hope you’re pregnant because you definitely gained some” I swear on all that is good, I will loose my absolute mind and just start punching throats..
