Feeling Sad
posted 28th Oct '07
I just need some moral support from my fellow preggies:
The other day I was at Wal-Mart and heard some girls snikering behind me and then heard one say " she needs to get some bigger clothes, fat people should not wear tight clothes". I just wanted to cry, I am 13 weeks along and showing a lot faster then I did last time although I am not quite big enough for maternity clothes yet. I only weigh 104 and I am very self -consious. Does anyone else get these comments? And how do you deal with them?

Wow! Were they talking about you? I wouldn't worry. Take pride in your pregnancy. It's the only chance that you will ever get to have an excuse to gain weight! I think you are perfect at 104 and 13 weeks preggo! Tell those girls to stuff it!

AWWW those bitches!
I felt very self conscious my first few months, before I looked pregnant.
I was so happy when finally I was at the store and people started asking me how far along i was.. then i knew people didnt jsut think i was a fatty haha..
I would get a shirt that says "i'm pregnant" haha..
no really, they do make shirts that say stuff like that.
just wear it out everywhere until you look actually pregnant.
or since it's getting colder now, you can wear hoodies..
I think you shuold just shrug it off, those girls are stupid and i hope they get made fun of when they're pregnant too. but i know how i am, and how my emotions are, and i just want to fix the problem not ignore it.

I haven't actually had any comments about being "big". BUT I did get a rude comment about me being young ( I am 18, so I am really not that young), it does hurt. But keep your head up people will always have something negative to say about you. Don't worry about you might gain a few pounds but in the end you'll have a beautiful baby & that will make it ALL worth it. I am sorry you had to hear that though. But to weigh 104 pounds is really good, pregnant or not. Thats skinny in my book =] lol

I am sure they where talking about me since there was no one else near us. I so wanted to say something to them but I was afraid of bursting out in tears. I wish my husband had been there he would have told them off with no problem. I told him about when I got home and he told me that I was beautiful and just to remember that. I try to but it is hard to do when people call you fat when you are not and then laugh at you about it.

Next time, dont be afraid. Hopefully there will be no next time, but you could either turn around and say "Im pregnant you hooker!" haha..
or ask if they can help you find the maternity section.. that's a nicer approach...

next time, turn around and say, "I know you're not talking that way about this pregnant lady." Watching them flutter their mouths to try to make an excuse. Probably something along the lines of either, not talking about you or something crass that'll just put their intellectual level even lower then originally thought to be. Try to cheer up, I haven't been below 150 since I was in the 7th grade. I'd love to be in the 100's (who am I kidding). Like some other lady suggested, you can buy some cute preggo shirts. I have one that has happy bunny on it that says, "You really want to mess with the pregnant lady?" Hehe. There's all sorts of cute (even babydoll style) shirts you can buy. Indulge, and listen to your husband.

SOOOO sorry to hear that you had to go threw that. I give you major koodos for not saying anything to them! If it were me I probably would have taken the low road and said something to them.
I understand you are very emotional, but come on hun, 104 lbs, what is that a size 3? You are probably really pretty. Embrace your growing body.

i know it sucks but don't worry about them...one day they will be in your shoes and someone will say that about them and they will regret calling someone else fat. they were probably just some stupid kids that never got enough attention when they were growing up so now they have to be assholes. don't worry about it...and for the person who said people keep commenting on your age, im sorry i forgot to note who you were , screw them. back when they were younger, they were married and had 3 kids by the time they were your age. don't worry about it.

aww.
well, i think everyone shows faster with their second child than they did their first. i'm just 5 weeks, this is my first and i'm really tiny anyway. so, i'm not showing right now and i wouldn't know how it feels to be in that situation. but it never hurts to give an encouraging word. keep your head up. babies are blessings, just remember that.

I know how you feel. I'm 27 weeks and I definitely LOOK pregnant and someone yesterday told me that they didn't know I was pregnant, they just thought that I had been "eating." Now who the hell says that anyway? I felt like shamu for the rest of the day, despite my husband's efforts to tell me otherwise. At 104, honey I'm sure you look great. You're little! Don't worry about it.
