I've heard a few people have really awful comments made to them while they are pregnant and wondered what your worst comment has been and how you reacted to it?

I'm newly pregnant and trying to prepare myself for what might be in store!

A colleague (HR person actually!) commented that there was no hiding it now. I'm a size 18 normally, so am quite pleased to be recognisably pregnant rather than just fatter. I said 'I know! I was struggling to cut my toe nails yesterday". "It's not just your bump though, it's your boobs and bum too!" I'm sorry, what? Did you really just comment on the size of my chest and tell me I have a fat arse? Of course my boobs have grown, but I'm wearing a top with no cleavage today, so hardly showing it off. And just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean you can comment on my weight gain! As my knickers still fit and I'm in a size 18 I doubt my bum is actually any bigger! I actually thought I looked nice today, but no more non-black tight tops for me then...
