Is it ever acceptable to say

[PollyParanoia]

I'm 20 weeks pg and a friend/"friend" has just said to me "you're so huge, everyone can't believe it's not twins. Are you sure you're not having twins?". To which, I could only say, well I've had three scans so yes I am pretty sure. When I suggested to her that it's really quite a rude thing to say, she was all shocked as she thought I'd be pleased (?!) She is about a month less pg than me and doesn't put on weight in pregnancy (in fairness because she's throwing up all the time), so maybe (benefit of the doubt being given here) in some strange way she's envious of my hideous bulk.
Am still fuming, evidently.

Hmm, perhaps a response like "I may be fat, but when I give birth, you'll still be ugly/obnoxious/single....insert insulting word here".

I keep getting people say to me "oh, you look like a pregnant woman" - now there's a good reason for that...............

I'm 20 weeks too and someone said this to me last week. You become public property when preggers, everyone seems to have an opinion about everything.
