Weight comments... driving me mad

Hi all, first time posting on here, although I have been reading through posts throughout this whole pregnancy. I'm 28+4 now and think my bump is relatively neat and mostly out front, although I am measuring 2 weeks ahead.
Anyone else get upset about comments to do with their weight whilst pregnant? This is my third child, with my first I gained a lot of weight around 4-5 stone I was very big, this time I've gained just under a stone, but family members keep making comments on how big I am, carrying the same as my first or that I've gained weight all round, even whilst knowing I was anxious about gaining as much as I did with my first. I might just be being ultra sensitive. Anyone else have this issue?

I think you need to tell them bluntly that making comments about your weight is very rude.

No! I had comments about how big my bump was...and it was indeed massive but nobody said anything about my general weight. It's rude as hell!

Tell them "stop mentioning my weight please!

Why are they commenting on your body shape at all? Just rude.

Next time repeat the comment back at them, word for word. See if they clock!

I just hate the comments on my appearance during pregnancy full stop.

You wouldn't say anything about the size of my belly/arse/legs if I wasn't pregnant so piss off!
