I've been asked several times how far along I am in my pregnancy, and you know what? I wasn't and I'm not pregnant. I just happen to carry most of my fat in my stomach, which automatically means that I must be pregnant.

Ir maybe pinch their cheeks, pull on their earlobes... whatever invasion of personal space seems appropriate at the time.<br /><br />Damanique, I agree completely. (I do want to clarify that Freddy's comment is a good-natured joke, usually said just to me -- because I keep asking him if I'm big enough. I know we should not use the word "fat" because it is triggering for many.)<br /><br />Cid, Thanks! :)<br /><br />Jenny, WOW. "I know you don't like it when people do this, but I'm going to do it anyway, and highlight how disrespectful I'm being because I can't even claim ignorance since I know you hate this." I have no words.<br /><br />Maybe when they focus on your pregnancy/physical appearance, you can keep turning the conversation to them: "Have you ever had that mole on your neck looked at? Are you sure it's not cancerous?" "I know you don't like it when people point out how frizzy your hair looks, but did you know JUST HOW frizzy it looks today? I mean, geez! Looks like you stuck all ten fingers in an electric socket!" Maybe that way they'll start to take a hint?Criss L.

I am sick to death of having people I know and complete strangers comment every single day, "Any day now?" A 'friend' rubbed my bump the other day while saying "I know you dont like it when people do this..." ??? No one will talk to me about anything else other than the fact that I am very obviously pregnant, 5'2 with a large out-front bump on a small frame. I bring up other subjects, and people just grin at me and say things like "just look at you!"

PREGNANT. You are carrying a freakin' new life in there which is the most amazing thing ever, and people have the audacity to call you fat (or too skinny!?) I can't even get that... how the... what the hell!? Never mind all the chubby jokes about pregnant women, calling them fat. What the everlasting f#$% is up with that. You're pregnant, you're carrying a BABY, like, a tiny human being. That doesn't make you fat, it doesn't make your body shape fat, there is no fat involved! IT'S A BABY. FFS.<br /><br />(And I'm of the fat acceptance school, so technically I don't think being fat is all that terrible, but OMFG a pregnant women is not fat because she is pregnant, what the fuuuu-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37507520.post-63716812996232315912010-06-15T01:23:16.070-05:002010-06-15T01:23:16.070-05:00Also, just because someone is pregnant doesn't...Also, just because someone is pregnant doesn't mean you can touch them.
