Ok - so maybe I am being unreasonable, and if that is the case then I would appreciate someone calming me down as I am new to all this and getting quite and at all this.
I am a new mom to be... not even that far along (24 weeks) but have just started to really show - although I still think I look like I have just eaten a few too many pies!!
But for some reason, my friends, family and even complete strangers have taken to felling that they can comment on absolutely everything I do/ say/ the way I look and I think it is bloody rude.
I'm normally a very private person and don't spend hours discussing myself with friends/ family and can be especially shy around strangers so am not the type to start randomly chatting on the bus or anything. However in the last few days I have had the following comments from people that have not been solicited in anyway - in fact sometimes we haven't even been in conversation or talking about my pregnancy.
Mom -
'is eating all that cheese healthy for the baby (2 x cheese on toast in grill)'
'you know your going to put a stone on in weight - you should look into joining a gym now'
'are you ready to be parent? its the hardest thing in the world'
Friend -
'God you look really pregnant in that top. My god thats the first time you have actually looked pregnant (this while showing her the new maternity top I just bought '
'you know I couldn't live with out x, y and z - you must really buy these expensive piecies of tat and follow this book I did'
Strangers in the street -
'Oh look your pregnant. Ooh you just wait till the birth, mine was hell'
'See! They are everywhere. People popping out sprogs for the Government to support' (old man to his friend as he walked past me in coffee shop)
So what is it that I am doing wrong that people can say these things to me without my even bringing up the subject????
And AIBU to tell them all to keep their comments to themsleves in future???
