ok i don't think i'm being oversensitive, but why do people feel that if your pregnant they can tell you all your flaws and you won't feel insulted by it? I don't know about anybody else but i've noticed that people tell you things that they normally wouldn't say if you weren't pregnant. Like my face, feet and ankles are swollen, so why must everyone point out how swollen you are everytime they see you. If your friend just got her wisdom teeth out and her face was swollen you wouldn't say to her "wow your face is huge, or it looks like a thousand bees stung your face". I'm finding that my family or just people i know who have not seen me in a while have no problem pointing out the obvious, and i already don't feel to sexy having my face ballooned out the way it is. Or if i have someone else say to me are you having twins or wow you must be having a huge baby, i swear i am going to smack the hell out of them lol. I am proud of my preggy belly, but i don't like hearing how huge i am all the time. Do people think that it's a compliment? Now it's not like people are saying to me wow chantal you have a cute baby bump, no i'm getting wow you are huge, look how big your belly is or wow that will be hard to work off after baby. ughh sorry for the rant but why are people so stupid! You wouldnt say to someone you know or in your family wow you must have gained weight because that is rude. I don't know maybe it's because i'm overdue and getting frustrated, but has anybody been experiencing this or do all the stupid blunt people just say these things to me lol....
