I feel more humiliated really. We were on Skype on the webcam as they don't live in the same country. My DH and DD were facing the camera talking to PIL. FIL asked about his grandchild to be, so I lifted my top and showed my belly on the screen. FIL said "Put that away, it's disgusting".
I know there's a generation thing, and my DH tells me that it really doesn't matter. But it keeps coming back in my head. Maybe it's just the hormones...

Maybe yours was ugly, Cod, but mine was beautiful and much admired.
Not vile atall.
And not the same thing as beer bellies at all.

FioFio, I really really can't see anything wrong with it. Maybe the fact that I am not a Brit while he is has something to do with it.

Not the same as agammy leg, either.
A lovely healthy round tummy with a baby growing inside.

What do you mean "unlike others"?

I think him saying 'it's disgusting' was very rude.

As I said, I am over it. I just wanted people's opinions which is what I thought AIBU was for.

It is not a fat and bloated tum, she is carrying a child.

Gammy leg?
Now if was a leg of gammon..
Breizhette, seriously, each to their own, but try and forget it. Think you should just have a laugh at the responses to this thread!

Maybe in you case it was ugly, mine was stunning

charitygirl · 03/07/2008 14:22

Whether its ugly or not, saying 'put that away, its disgusting' is the height of roodness.

no need for it.

Tell you what isn't pretty - the baby handles you develop post birth. Can't shake the bloody things off - def. wouldn't skype them.
