To ask people not to comment on new mums' weight?

It's so disheartening. My DD is now 10 weeks old and people are continuously commenting on my "baby weight"

The latest was 'oh, I see that you've lost MOST of the baby weight' and 'you'll look good once you've lost that baby tummy!'

I think there's way too much pressure on new mums to bounce back to their former dress sizes.

WIBU to ask if people could possibly not comment on my Mum tum? Hmm

Jesus, friends don't do that! I'd be upset too and bloody furious, and I'd also be cutting her out. Nasty cow

I don't doubt this happens but never had it myself luckily, some people are fucked in the head. Shock

I went shopping after ds1 was born.I was trying on a lovely dress.And my mam passed a remark that i ciuld do with losing weight.I had a bit of a tum.

But the lovely sales assistant, quick as a flash let my mam have it with both barrels.Well my mam didnt know what to say but i was glad someone stuck up for me

It is rude to comment in a person’s appearance at any time.

But just after birth.....kill them and claim post partum psychosis.
