AIBU to be upset by my physio’s comments about pregnancy and parenting?

Was attending a physio today with my little girl who is two. I also had my 8 month old with me. I know the physio relatively well as she has been working with my little one for over a year. Today she pointed to my stomach and asked if I was expecting again. I responded with “did you mean to say that out loud” and she laughed it off and said something about it must have been the way I was standing. It’s not the first time she has made an out of line comment. Previously she questioned why my husband was taking my little girl to an appointment and not me, she made the comment “but you’re her mother”. For context I generally am the one that attends apps, but as my husband was off on that particular day we decided he would attend to save me needing time off work. Am I over reacting to be upset by this. Particularly today’s pregnancy comment? I am probably a little sensitive as obviously I have had two pregnancies pretty much back to back. But I’m a size 10/12…. And even so , I do t think it’s any of her business.

Perhaps she was just a bit careless about the pregnancy comment. You had two back to back she thought you might be game for another one.
Do you have a bit of a tum? I would have joked back - you need to give me some free physio!!

No filter that’s all. She’d be good on catchphrase, ‘say what you see!’
