im pregnant NOT FAT..!!

what's up with people, even close friends, having the urge to constantly tell me im getting fat? i'm 5'4 and have gone from 116 to 121. Maybe it was ok and a little funny at first but when its NONSTOP??! WTH!!!? I obviously know im gainning weight, but why do they have to remind me everytime they see me?? I AM NOT FAT. I am putting on weight because I am 18 weeks pregnant. I'm supposed to, and im very glad that im doing so because it's for my baby's health. but WTF it is only 6 pounds which 3 of them are my breasts...

don't feel bad at all I have gained 13 pounds and I am 20 weeks.  Every woman gains weight differently when they are pregnant.  My first 4-5 months I look just fat until I pop.  So don't feel bad, just trust your body is providing your baby what it needs :)

do they not know you're pregnant? well, i wouldn't worry about it. like you said, you're gaining weight for a good reason. and 5-6lbs is nothing, especially if you're 18 weeks along. best of luck and well wishes on a healthy pregnancy and baby! :)
