[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 20 weeks, just told people and they were shocked. I fit into regular pants still. Not my first baby, either. So, I think 16 weeks is early and my colleague is at that point, already wearing maternity pants on her first baby and I secretly chalk it up to her being chubby and lazy. But I am not her midwife, I would never say that to her and no, a medical provider should probably not say that either. But at the end of the day, every woman has a different body and our bodies react differently to pregnancy. [/quote]

That doesn't even quality as a humble brag.  [/quote]

It wasn't meant to be a brag, really. I was being honest. Shrug.

My point is, no matter what anyone (including and especially someone caring for your health/well-being during pregnancy) thinks about your physique/comfortable clothing choice during pregnancy, he/she should butt out and keep lips zipped unless it is relevant to you and/or your baby's health.

And btw, the person I know is in fact kinda chubby, she was before pregnancy and no, she does not work out or follow a sensible diet...I didn't say that I think that of everyone wearing maternity clothes at that point or earlier, but in this case, it applies. Again, my point is that I would not comment on her choice to wear elastic and neither should her mid-wife as long as she is reasonably healthy.[/quote]

It's your reference to your colleague as "chubby and lazy" that's the most obnoxious, frankly. I take it you're one of those women who's never had to struggle with your weight. How wonderful for you. For those of us that constantly struggle with our weight, the idea of being called "lazy" because we're not skinny is just absurd. You may be thin, but I guess you didn't get the brains in your family.[/quote]
