For context: This is my first pregnancy, I am overweight but I am eating healthy and looking after myself in the best way I can. We've pretty much got pregnant as soon as we've started trying.
I'm currently 7 weeks + 6 days. My husband and I haven't told many people about the pregnancy - immediate family and a select few close friends. (I know they say to wait till 12 weeks but if anything were to happen I'd want the support from these people, I don't believe in suffering in silence).
Most people have been excited and happy for us but a couple just seem to be putting the experience down. When they have been through their pregnancies I have been so supportive and happy for them and helped where I can.
I feel extremely fatigued and am finding myself napping a lot - this is being met with "You're pregnant - not disabled!"
A close friend has basically told me to expect to be told that I'm too fat at every appointment and will get shamed for it and at my 12 week scan they probably won't be able to find the baby.
I've actually had my booking appointment and my Midwife is amazing. She talked with me through being healthy etc and I didn't feel shamed once. I understand that health professionals will comment on my weight etc. I'm expecting it. I just feel like my friend was using it hurtfully towards me rather than constructively.
Another very close friend said "Congratulations, sorry if i don't seem very happy for you, it's just that I've been trying for a baby since March and it hasn't happened" The conversation turned to her and she then went on to tell me she hasn't had sex since March! Like come on! I really felt shamed for being so happy about being pregnant.
Am I taking things the wrong way or being 'too sensitive'?
