At work this morning and have just told people I'm pregnant. I'm 12 weeks and have a slight (very slight) bump. I am showing fairly early and put this down to having a late miscarriage some time back where I had developed a significant bump. Nobody at work knows this as I don't feel it is anybody's business.

Everyone was very happy to hear I was pregnant apart from one woman who seemed indifferent, which is fine! I really don't mind. However it has come to light that she has been making comments about me sticking my stomach out and wearing tight clothes to make my 'fake bump' more noticeable.

I am livid! First of all I am not so pathetic that I would stick my belly out 24/7 to make myself look 'more pregnant' Hmm and the clothes I am wearing are the same ones I wore before I was pregnant, so if you can see my bump... then so what? I'm pregnant and proud of it!

Would you let this slide? Or would you confront? It's upset me very much and made me feel like I need to justify myself.

Part of me wishes that my colleague never told me what she said but I guess she was only trying to help.

Ah congratulations op!

(Bit late to the party I know...)
Just wanted to say you’re doing well. Poor 16 year old - we’ve all made fuck ups at that age. I don’t think it was malicious on her part at all.
But what a bitter vindictive colleague. I don’t think you should tell her about the miscarriages (so sorry Flowers) she’ll only doubt you.
Don’t worry. All she’s doing is making herself look a proper cockwomble. Relax and enjoy the rest of your bump time and again many congratulations Cake
