Pregnancy

I thought I'd heard it all...

...during my first pregnancy but second time round it seems there are other wonderfully insulting things that people can say that hadn't occurred to me. Just over the last week I've had:

  1. (from my mother-in-law on being told the baby was moving around much more than DS did at the first scan) "Oh, well that's because its all so stretched out and the baby has so much more room"
    Hmm how about you don't comment on the apparently humungous size of my uterus, thank you very much.

    2)(from an ex-nurse at work) "Oh, so you've finally decided to tell people have you? Well of course I've known for ages. I can tell you what you're having too. Turn around" (points out my hips and bum to another colleague) "see that? Hmm, yes I thought so too. I knew that So-and-so was having a boy because her hips got really wide. I know what you're having."
    Erm, did you just imply I have fat hips and arse? Eff off.

    Has anyone else got any stonkers? I'm only 11 weeks so I've got many (many) more comments to come, I'm sure! Grin

Feel a bit mean for this one but a girl I work with was 7 weeks pregnant and had just announced it when I went on mat leave at 36 weeks. I was massive and waddling from PGP and my bump is huge. I'm also plus size anyway before I got pregnant, but tbf I lost loads of weight in the start of my pregnancy and from weeks 9 weigh in to week 37 I'd only put on 2kg. She is a size 0 and obviously has no bump yet. She insisted on standing next to me to compare "bumps" on my last day. Chuckling that she's lucky as shell never have to get as big as me. I swear to god if my hips hadn't seized I'd have belly bounced her out the door.
