Blah - Venting!! Posted: 03-15-07 23:03pm
Hello beautiful ladies!!
Well, I feel horrible tonight, and it all
started b/c I wanted to go and get a few
pieces of maternity clothes.
Yes, I am going to be the "typical
pregnant girl" and vent, and I know that I
am being silly, but right now all I want
to do is cry
Let's just say that being pregnant is
wonderful and amazing, but the part about
getting bigger *everywhere* is not.
I went to the mall tonight to look for a
pair of pants to wear to work, as almost
none of mine are fitting anymore, and
there was another girl in the section
looking at the clothes. She stood there
and was saying "god, all these clothes are
soooooo huge. I don't think I'll need
these, so I'll just go and get a bigger
size then what I am wearing now".And I was
holding up a pair of size Medium jeans
thinking to myself "hmm, these look
nice...", she proceeded to say to her
hubby, "look at how big even a size small
is. Who would wear anything bigger than
that....even at 9 months pregnant".
Freakin' nice huh?! Well, I ignored that
comment and continued on.
Then, I bump into an old friend who did
not know I was pregnant. When she asked
"what's new" and I told her I was
expecting the beginning of Sept, she
laughed so loud and said to me" Oh, well
than that explains why you look like you
put on quite the weight. I thought you had
just gotten fat!"
My night was done. I left the mall feeling
like crap.
Now trust me, I eat very good, not alot of
sweets and junk, but my stomach and hips /
thighs have gotten so big that I'm
worried!!!!! I will post some pic's soon
just so you can see yourself. I am very
big for only being 15 weeks
(tomorrow)!!!!! I've gained about
8 pounds so far, not sure if that's too
much or about right. And let's not talk
about cellulite that I am developing all
over my ass and thighs!!
Any of you experience the same thing? How
did you deal with those rude people?
Sorry this is a book.....just needed to
vent a little!!!

oh my god, why the hell would someone say
that? people really need to learn how to
hold their tongues, it makes me mad how
people have forgotten to keep their mouths
shut when their comments aren't needed.
im mad for you i'm sorry

Jae, I am sorry you had such a bad day.
All I can say is that I hope it gets
better and that in the end it will all be
worth it to have your little one in your
arms. I love you girl!

People can be so rude sometimes. I had a
friend who was pregnant and didn't really
tell a bunch of people at work that she
was expecting. Some of the team came in
from out of town and one person said to
her that she looked like she was putting
on a bunch of weight... she said, yeah
that's what happens when you are 8 months
pregnant. You should have seen his face.
All of my friends that have had kids
said the same thing. That they were
freaked out at how much their bodies were
changing so fast. But it's for a
reason... there is a beautiful baby inside
that will melt your heart when the little
one comes out and all the worries about
how you look won't matter.

I used to be 3 stone heavier (3 stones =
42lbs) than I aM NOW AND ONE DAY my old
neighbour said to me, "You wanna lay off
the chocolate, you're getting fat" and my
great uncle (who was in his 90s so I'll
forgive him) said, "Get a backpack and go
running in the hills, that'll shift that
weight. Mind you, big bottoms are
supposed to be trendy nowadays aren't
they?"
Oh, and I wasn't pregnant either of those
times...

Those statements would have resulted in
uncontrollable rage on my part...

Jae- I am so sorry that you had that
happen to you! I get the whole "I didn't
know that you were pregnant I just thought
you lost your ab definition" bit all the
time. I thought that I was growing but my
belly is still small. Maternity clothes
don't fit me but I went from wearing a
size 4-6 to now wearing a size 12 pant. I
have gained 16 lbs so you are doing better
in the weight department than I am.
You should definately post pictures! We
are so close together that it is cool. I
don't think that I have gotten any bigger
in like a couple of weeks so I am not
going to post any! People have seen it all
before. Kinda worries me that I am not
getting bigger but that is just me. Talk
later.

Ahh thanks Ladies!!! You have all made me
feel better tonight!!!!
I know that my growing bdoy is a good
thing - I think I just need to get over it
(so to speak) and stop looking in the
mirror so much!
And for those rude people out there, well
I hope they gain 100 pounds or more when
they get pregnant one day and see what it
feels like!!!!! LOL
Musik - don't worry, your tummy will
eventually *pop* out - but since you are
smaller, maybe it will take longer??? My
tummy is shaped weird!!! It's very big and
round from just under my boobs all the way
down, so I don't know if my belly has
popped, but like i said, it just looks
really really big. I actually can't wait
until it does look like a pregnant belly,
so people will stop looking at me and
wonder why I've gotten "fat", in their
minds!
I will post some pic's maybe tomorrow -
too tired to do it now!!!! You'lll see
what I mean and then you'll be glad your
tummy isn't as big as mine!!! LOL!
Mg - I love you to girl! How have you
been?!
Thanks again girls.......I do feel better
now b/c of you!!!!!!
Hugs,
J

I hate those kinds of comments. I
understand you not wanting to say much to
your Uncle, but still - ouch
But that's awesome that you lost all that
weight!!! I hope I can get back down to
about 128 - 133 lbs after baby is born.
How did you do it????? My body L.O.V.E.S
to hang onto the fat, and as I get older,
it's getting harder for me to lose it!!!
I need everyone's losing weight (the
healthy way!!) secrets!!!!!!!!!!!!

I came off the depo provera injection and
the weight just fell off me! Then it went
back on because I fell pregnant

i gained almost 70 freaking pound while
pregnant and I was not eating junk or crap
(well sometimes) found out when I had the
baby that I had 2 amniotic sacs so that
was a lot of the gain, but still I was big
like krissy (arcadia) by the end-lol.
i had people asking if I was having twins
from about 4 months on. that was a pain.
then I was at the hosp with trey when he
was about 6 months old and some lady saw
me at the elevator and said "oh when's the
baby due?" i looked at her and said "the
baby is 6 months old m'am" lol She kept
apologizing, I laughed though, my stomach
will never be what it used to be but I
finally fit back into my pre-preggo
clothes when trey was 18 months old !!!!!
people can be rude. i don't think tey
realize it when they do it though. and
that girl who was thinking she wasn't
gonna need big clothes. HA! I thought
the same thing at 3 months, then I blew
up! lol

Your post made me laugh!!!!! Well, I think
sometimes you're right...people don't
think before they speak, and sometimes
their intentions are not meant to hurt,
but still - more than often certain
comments are needed!!!!! LOL!
I've had a couple people ask me if I am
having twins b/c my tummy is so big - but
I did have an u/s to check for twins since
I have 4 sets in my family! Just a singleton
in my tummy though - so no using that as
my excuse
!!
As long as I can lose the weight one day,
I guess that's all I can ask for!!!!
I do enjoy working out though, so at least
that's a bonus!!!

I'm good Jae. I'm just very, very tired.
Man, I never knew the fatigue would be
this bad. DH is like-it's way too early
for you to play the I'm tired game. He
doesn't understand that a lot of people
are very tired in the beginning. My God-my
body is busy developing an embryo into a
fetus. Excuse me-I know he will get better
with this though. It's just going to take
time.

mg- lol, my dh said that I was faking the
tired part at first. Now whenever i
complain about being tired he always
reminds me that I am growing a human
inside of me. The tiredness hasn't gone
away with my second trimester either. I so
thought that it would! I want to sleep all
the time. I think that every night I sleep
around 10-12 hours and then I usually take
a nap in the afternoon. If I don't do all
that I can barely function all day. I hope
that your tiredness goes away soon.

Being tired doesn't go away. They say in
the second trimester you are more
comfortable and can sleep more soundly.
Enjoy it while you can, because in the
last month there is no getting
comfortable
I think that rots that people make rude
comments about being hefty.

Mg & Musik - I know allll about being
tired!!!!! I am the same way. I need to
take a nap everyday around 4pm or so for
about an hour to an hour and a half, or I
am passed out on the couch by 7pm!!!!!!
Mine actually feels like it's getting
worse than it was in my first trimester.
Oh well, at least I don't feel sick
anymore!!!!!! The only thing I notice now
is the getting short of breath at times,
and bending over to pick things up and tie
my shoes is getting hard. Can you believe
it?!
Oh well, get to go for my second u/s on
April.16th and I've requested to have a
3-d picture taken!!!! I can't wait to see
what my baby looks like!!!!!!! I will post
the u/s pic once it is done!
Take care all you beautiful girls!

awww hun, just ignore the stupid people,
When I was 16 weeks I had some random
woman tell me that 'no way was I only 4
months,' she actually stood there arguing
with me because she was sure I was further
gone because I was so big...what did she
know???
just think your body is growing so it can
look after your baby, forget about all the
weight your putting on and just think of
your beautiful baby growing in there.
There will be plenty of time to sort out
the rest when baby is born. Afterwards you
will probably be so busy running after
your little one that it will just fall
off!
Wish you could see me I am huge not just
the belly but everywhere!! but I took so
long to get this baby I just dont care!!
Cant believe your already 15 weeks how are
things going anyway???

Jolie girl!!! I am so glad to hear from
you and it sounds like you are doing
well!!! I just saw your pic's....they are
so cute...belly and your sons!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the words of wisdom. It is hard
getting so big so fast, but I'm just
starting to get used to it.....just a
little!
And I hope you're right......I pray the
weight will just "fall off" oncce baby is
here!!! Here's to wishful thinking!!! I
can't believe how fast it's gone already.
I can only imagine what the next few
months will be like! I'll blink and I'll
be about ready to "pop"! Things are going
really well. My new symptom is having to
*pee* alllllll the time now. It's stupid
how often I 'go'! Still really tired, but
other than that, I'm well! Gte to go for
my next u/s on April.16th, and requested a
3-d picture from it, so I'm really really
excited for that! Not going to find out
the sex of the baby though......as hard as
it will be, we are going to leave it for a
surprise. Why not, right?!
Hope you are feeling great and enjoying
baby in your tummy! Have you felt him/her
move yet? Are you going to try and find
out the sex at your next u/s???

Omg Jae! You aren't going to find out the
sex. Man, you are so much stronger than I
am. I want to know as soon as possible. I
am impatient like that though and have
been my whole life. I am so looking
forward to my u/s. I still need to
schedule it but last time I was able to
schedule it only a few days in advance so
i am hoping for the same thing again.
I've gained about
8 pounds so far, not sure if that's too
much or about right. And let's not talk
about cellulite that I am developing all
over my ass and thighs!!
i'm sorry
hun!
