Why have I let this upset me?

Feel more mad at myself for not saying anything really but can't help but be upset. Just been in boots and the woman at the till asked how long I've got left. She looked surprised but had obviously misheard so when I corrected her, her jaw nearly hit the floor.

"You'll never make it another 8 weeks, did you go to term with your first?" "Really?! you're just huge there's no way you'll make another 8 weeks"

Why can't I find the courage to just say something in return?!

Thing is, I'm a lot smaller at this point than I was with dd, I'm measuring bang on for dates and she was twice the size of me anyway. Really wanted to just say "I'm pregnant. What's your excuse?" Just can't bring myself to be rude.

I know we get these threads all the time but I feel so low about myself as it is, I have massive body image issues and things like this will stay with me and really bring me down.

As much as I try to ignore and forget, I can't. I just can't stop crying Sad

Sorry, just needed to get it off my chest.

Oh my gosh. Yes you are right! She was an awful bitch! You simply must tell her! Is that better?

Not a bitch. But definitely deeply unprofessional and lacking an understanding of sensitivity needed to work in that particular field even as 'just' a shop assistant.

So yeah I don't see that complaining is over reacting or inappropriate.
