Catty, teasing work women :-/

A close friend (who works on another team) said she had to stand up for me today as the women on her team were making jeering comments about my bump. Im 19 weeks and have just 'popped' -can no longer call it bloat!
Apparently they were saying that i was walking around the other day sticking my belly out in a show-offy way.

I dont really know how to take this -these women don't know me so why are they being so catty? My hormones want to go up and smack them. But my actual meek, shy self wants to cry and hide away in big baggy tops.
I would never walk around showing off my bump, I'm still feeling awkward when people look at my belly, like an invasion of privacy so last thing I'd do is walk around in a smug way and I hate that they think this of me. Then again, they dont know me.

Sorry, this post sounds childish, i should be old enough to cope with teasing, but its just hit a nerve.

I did let my friend know today that id been upset and she felt bad at having told me. She's not going to tell me any more gossip about me.
And i've had a lovely day just by getting on with my own life Smile
I wont see what Karma does but i do believe in it!
