A tad rude, no?

[Cariad007]

Someone at my work just said to me "I only realised you were pregnant a few weeks ago, I thought maybe you'd had too many pies."

I don't think I'm being touchy to think that that is pretty fucking rude, right?

Yes that's incredibly rude, you wouldn't say it to someone who wasn't pregnant! "You look fat, too many pies?" It amazes me the things people think they can say just because you're pregnant.

cheeky git.

wow I don't know how you didn't punch them, I admire your self restraint

Bit cheeky but I got similar comments and I just thought it was pretty funny. Have to admit I've thought (but not said) the same of others in the past.

I think you are maybe looking to be offended. There's no easy way to say, Oh, I thought you were pregnant but I wasn't sure so I didn't like to ask - without implying you looked rather larger in the middle?

I know I looked fat before I looked definitely pregnant, and I can't think of many people who go from 'normal shape' to 'obviously pregnant bump' without an is she/isn't she? phase in the middle.

I don't think I was looking to be offended - she could've just said "I didn't realise you were pregnant until recently" and left it at that!

A bit late now, but next time: " oh that's funny, I was thinking the same about you"

It is rude, but if I'm honest, I looked fat for a month or so before my bump popped out and got round. People do just think they can comment which is annoying.
A friend regularly called me "fatty" during my last pregnancy. Charming.

I had the same sort of thing, a woman I work with came right up in my face and said 'who ate all the pies then????' and I basically blurted that I was pregnant - I felt really riled afterwards because she basically forced me to admit I was upduffed. On reflection I wish I'd run out of the room crying so she'd feel bad for picking on a fatty.
Or I should have asked what her excuse was!

I'm at the 'looking fat stage' now. Luckily no one has commented yet. Cant wait for my belly to go round. Feel like wearing a sign round my neck assuring people i've not just discovered fast food.

I've been called fatty porky, I'm not even showing yet but I'm overweight I now think people are using my pregnancy as an excuse to call me fat lol pretty depressing really I have major issues with my weight people are arseholes lol

I definitely just look fatter than normal. There's no accepted way for a colleague to mention that inbetweeny stage before it's obviously a bump. Don't be offended. I told a colleague I felt like shit yesterday. Their response? "Yeah, you do look bloody rough". I did though. So fair point I suppose

It's rude, but somehow people think it's permitted to be rude to pregnant women. I keep being told how large I look (36wks now so definitely not pies) or that I'm much larger I am than last time. Err.. thanks.

With my first pregnancy someone did ask if I was pregnant or just eating too much, but not to my face - to a colleague. The colleague replied that I'd been going down the chippy too much which answer was swallowed whole. Much to my delight, when I was told all this later. Serves him right for asking!

Very rude, i wouldn't dream of saying that to someone.
Some people don't think before they speak!!!
