[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We’re on vacation with my in-laws and I’m pregnant with my third.  I’m having a very hard pregnancy and have SPD so I’m struggling with pelvic pain and general discomfort, and I feel huge.  I’ve been through this enough to know it’s temporary, and not to stress about the weight gain, or my size, or stupid comments from strangers about my body, but I’m really struggling with my MILs comments about how she cannot believe I have almost three months left I’m SO huge, and I look like I’ve gained more weight than I did with my others, and the doctors must be concerned about baby’s size because I’m so big, etc.

Not that it matters, but I’m normally pretty lean and athletic, and I’ve gained no more weight than I had at this point with my other two (and with both it totaled 30-35 lbs), and I had no problem losing the weight within a year with both those pregnancies.

How do I deal with the comments??? I feel so objectified and evaluated and it’s hard enough to FEEL huge and uncomfortable, I don’t need someone expressing concern or gawking at my size.

I deal with these things with sarcasm. "You know what really helps with the pain and awkwardness of pregnancy, MIL? Someone repeatedly commenting on it. This vacation sure is relaxing for me." Exit room.

Next offense: "Ahh, feeling better already." Exit room.[/quote]
