Dont feel attractive

[anii87]

I'm almost 20 weeks pregnant and I enjoy being pregnant feeling the baby move and knowing there's a little one inside of me who I will soon get to hold in my arms. But I get called fat at work by some of my coworkers I use to not let it get to me but it's been bugging me these past few days. Besides my coworkers my hubby also makes fun of me because he says that I look like Happy Feet. These comments make me feel less attractive which I know I'm wrong by feeling this way since I'm pregnant not fat. Any help please.

I had a customer at work lose his sh*t because I didn't have an item he wanted. And he called me a f*cking fatass as he was walking away. Now, I am fat, I don't have any qualms about it. I have a realistic body image of myself and I am overweight. But I have no tolerance for people pointing it out to me. Its obvious that I am fat, its something I've had to deal with since I started putting weight on as a child. I don't need strangers pointing it out. So my hormones snapped. I said 'thanks *******, its called pregnancy, you jerk!' And I started crying really hard. Mind you I wasn't even showing yet (I was only maybe 10 or 12 weeks at this point) I just wanted to prove a point to him that he doesn't know everybodys story, and that words CAN hurt. To his credit, he did turn bright red and started apologizing profusely, and ended up buying something even though we didn't have what he wanted. But I made my point. I think of people have the nerve the make rude comments like that then they deserve what ever you throw back at them. Wether you call them a name or ignore them for a day, nobody should be making comments like that to anyone, let alone a pregnant woman!

I've gotten the comments as well. I know they're teasing thinking they're funny. Mainly men of course. I finally made the comment I'm pregnant what's your excuse, lol seemed to work for now!

Ya know...I'm the same way...I can take it and just let it roll for so long until finally it starts bugging me and effecting me. I'm feeling grateful that I am carrying mostly in front which means I wore some spring jackets over a tank or t-shirt and I don't really look pregnant from the back. That's been my moat recent way of dealing with it. i get dressed in work clothes sans the skirt, suits, and wear jeans instead. Even wore a silk scarf yesterday. It helped. But I am one of those people who doesn't wear sweats unless I'm sick or working out. The only other option I can think of is next time ot happens say something like I really dont appreciate the fat comments considering I am growing a human being currently. What would be appreciated us the positive comments. Please keep your negativity away. Thanks. If said straight forward and bluntly, and if we all do it, maybe we can be the pregnant year that makes a difference with the ignorance.  It's a confrontation, but know your pregnant sisters are behind ya. (Here's to being optimistic!)

thats dumb pregnant women are beautiful and we are not fat we are growing lil people. Some people are dumb, I get my hair and nails dome to make me feel better about myself, but i dont do it for everyone else i do it for me only. Who cares about anyone else opinions are like aholes and everyones got one. And ur hubby needs to not talk ****, my baby daddy gets mad at me when i call myself fat, he says "ur not fat ur pregnant"

I cant wrap my head around when people make fat comments to pregnant women its just soo juvenile drives me crazy trust me I have had my fair share of people saying this or giving me weird looks but then I have had wonderful experiences where people smile or they ask me what im having or just really nice gestures. .once u get more of thoses the good out weighs the bad..and who cares what people think there are rude people everywhere and u cant let that stop your happiness. .and I love happy feet and my waddle is soo bad but I own up to it..I waddle everywhere and I dont really care lol
