Why can't people mind their own business!! Sorry Venting

[Kimbr7]

Okay, so this is my 2nd pregnancy (well 3rd, but I had a miscarriage) and I am 7 1/2 weeks along.  Of course I am bloated and my boobs have grown what feels like 2 sizes (they were already a D cup).  I was on-line during lunch at work today looking at some Maternity cloths (not buying just looking) and some co-workers walked up.  Of course they were like "Your not wearing Maternity cloths alreay are you".  NO I am not wearing them, but I have a feeling in the next 4 or 5 weeks I will.  My shirts are getting tight (from by boobs) and my pants are getting harder to button by the day.  

You should have heard all these ladies. It is like they were making fun of me.  Just because they weren't in maternity cloths with their 1st babies until like 6 or 7 months, does not mean that eveyrone else is like that and this is my second baby.  So of course, now I am going to be completely on edge the entire time when I do start wearing them because they are all really going to be paying attention.  Sometime I just don't understand why some women can't mind their own business.  All I heard about all day was how a girl in my office who was pregnant with twins was in her normal cloths until she was almost 18 weeks.  Well good for her, but I am not her!!  

Okay I feel better I just needed to get that off my chest.  Thanks for listening!!  :)

Hi,
I am currently 5 wks, this is my 4th pregnancy.  My 3rd ended in miscarriage.  Anyhow, I am already showing! I am bloated and my bb's are HUGE!
Don't let those Cows bother you!  Some people just have no tact!

[alaysha]

Hey don't worry about what they say! There honestly probably just jealous that your pregnant because after all everyone loves babies! I'm only 5'3 and weight 97lbs and I'm 12 weeks and showing and this is my first pregnancy! I look like I've been eating too many donuts and I keep busting buttons on my work shirts from my boobs and belly! If it seems that their just calling you fat ignore them! You got a baby in there wear your maturnity clothes with pride and f*** what other people think! :D

I started wearing maternity clothes when I was 10 weeks or so and it was my 1st pregnancy.  I DON'T CARE if someone has a problem with me wearing maternity clothes.  I wear what I see me fit (literally).  I wasn't comfortable trying to squeeze into tight jeans.  Plus, I was happy I didn't have to find clothes that hide my stomach anymore (ok, fine, it's worse now after having DD than it was before).  Anyway, don't let those shallow women bother you.  It's none of their business.  Enjoy your pregnancy

[2boysmomma]

Hey try not to let it bother you.  I am one of those women who start showing a baby bump by 9 weeks.  Even with my first son when i was rail thin I had a bump at 10 weeks and was in maternity by 12.  Each of us is different, I show before the test shows a BFP  haha.

I have started to wear some maternity shirts, because like you said, my boobs are getting bigger by the day, and some of my shirts are too tight or short and my little belly hangs out. I don't need to wear them all the time, but sometimes my maternity shirts are more comfortable, and I do have a little belly that sticks out. I have recieved some flack from others as well...I am 16 weeks (also my second as well) and they look and stare and make me feel like I don't need to wear maternity clothes yet, like I am just doing it for attention or trying to draw attention to myself! ARGGHHH, how rude! I figure they must just be jealous to do/say such things, after all, I am happy all the time and I am so thrilled to be pregnant finally after so many months of trying unsucessfully...Don't let them get you down, be proud of your body and enjoy every minute, it goes by fast!~bops

Be proud to be pregnant and let your co workers know you are delighted that the world can see you are carrying a precious new life.

I am anxious to get in maternity clothes and everyone is different.  It is dumb that they would not know that.  This is my 4th, the 3rd was a miscarriage, and I am 7.5 weeks and already feeling a difference in my clothes and my bb's are so sore and heavy.  I just found out 3 days ago that I am pregnant and for the past week I thought I was getting fat from eating.  According to everything that I have read, after the first pregnancy you will show faster and feel movement faster.  Let them talk, just be happy because this is your time to shine.

Some women are just hags. You being pg just makes them feel skinny. At least you have a good reason for your clothes being too tight. Eat what you want, and wear what you need to. Let them stick it in their ears if they want to pretend that someone pg with twins didn't need maternity clothes for 18 weeks. Yeah right. That's what she may have said, but.....

[JamieLee_cherokeemommy]

They are just jealous of your new joy. They are stuck in the high-school phase of life, your more mature than them. They will realize how rude they were when they actually grow up. Don't worry about any of the comments, just focus on how cute you and your baby bump are going to look in your clothes:).  Atleast your not looking as silly as me, I'm still using my hair ties to loop around my buttons of my jeans at 32 weeks! Now that's something to comment about :)

[chellybeans]

hah hah ha...twins and no maternity clothes till 18 weeks...please.

i was in them at 9 weeks i think because my pants were ready to split and my super mega boobs were not being contained any further.

some people feel better about themselves by making others feel worse about themselves. those people suck. you have a baby in there and a good reason to be preparing to buy maternity clothes. better to wear appropriate sizes than look like an obese hooker! geez.

you can always take my approach, granted i am a bit of a smart a@@.  when i get asked stupid questions i ask them right back. like my boss asked how much weight i gained so i told him and asked how much weight he gained.

best advice i have, let it in go one ear and out the other. you'll have a baby in a few months and they will just have their bitter personalities. you win.

Wear whatever is comfortable!!!

I'm 9 weeks preggo with my 2nd (after EIGHT miscarriages) so I'm already popping out...Dr says it's because my body already knows what to do...

He also said to wear comfortable clothes so my belly won't be "restricted"...I have some M clothes that dont' look like M clothes so I've been wearing them for a week...and even when I wear "regular" tops, I still wear my stretchy M pants so my belly is comfy...

I've noticed that my morning sickness and heartburn is MUCH less now than when I was trying to fit into my pre-preg clothes...

Congrats and GOOD LUCK! :D

Hi,
I got here by typing"Why don't people mind their own business?" on a totally different issue. I agree with you.You are at a point where you should be happy and people should be happy for you. They probably are, but I think that some people's lives are so "low fat" (boring) that they need to give advice even though their own lives aren't perfect.

Just keep on the way you are & know that they probably won't change and smile & nod & know you are right. :-)
