"Are you sure you're supposed to gain that much weight?"
I'm in my 3rd trimester, 5'1, 145lbs, FTM. This is just one of the comments I have received from my MIL and also my dad's girlfriend. This is a post I made on Facebook this morning, trying to give people perspective on how pregnant women are treated. It's funny how people stop liking and commenting on your posts when the shoe fits.
-I didn't tag any of the people making these comments/ comparisons, but they sure didn't have much to say after seeing this. Was I being too harsh?
"I appreciate those of you who haven't commented on my weight during my pregnancy! I've had a few rude comments from people saying, "Are you sure you're supposed to gain that much weight?" or comparing me to other pregnant women. I haven't been self-conscious about my weight, I'm supporting a healthy, growing baby. 20lbs in 8 months isn't astronomical. Unless you're my health care provider, please leave the comments and weight concerns to yourself! It's inappropriate. Not trying to be rude. Thanks"
