The Things People Say

Being pregnant opens the door for many types of feedback, both positive and negative. I don't mind the belly rubbing or the questions of when you're due, but what I do mind is when people think it is absolutely okay to talk about how fat they think you are. Even though they don't say, "wow, you are fat," they say "your butt is wide and your hips are huge! Your belly is big too!" Seriously, we are people carrying a baby and yes we gain weight, but it is never okay to be rude. Our pregnant feelings do get hurt. Gaining weight is a part of pregnancy. I don't even mind the comments about how my belly has grown. I think only positive feedback is necessary and when in doubt leave your thoughts to yourself.
