@knish I'm 23 weeks now and my bump is barely showing so most of the time people don't even recognize that I'm pregnant (I can't really get a seat on the public transport etc.). My baby was bigger than expected on the last US and also I've a mild polyhydramnios so maybe it'll show later. But I really hate others commenting about it since I'm quite worried already because of the medical issues.

@knish I'm sorry! People suck. Lol, one day I had to stop for gas, so I lugged in my 1 and 2 year olds, grabbed some waters and paid for my gas. The woman at the counter said, "Wow, you're busy! How far along?" 1 on my hip and 1 holding my hand. I just stared blankly. "Uhh, I'm not pregnant." So discouraging, too, as I had just finally fit back into a pair of jeans I hadn't been able to button for a long time. Kids. The gifts that keep on giving!
@uldello It is mental to me how society expects our bodies to snap back to how we were pre baby. I know some manage and hats off to them but it's a combination of dedication (I have very little), time (working out is never high on my priority list when I get about an hour to myself a week) and genetics (mine aren't snap back material).
It takes 9 months to grow a new human. Even longer before they start eating food / sleeping through the night.
Sorry that you went through that experience but also fuck anyone who has the idea to comment something so tactless as that.

@knish Haha, thank you! Yeah, she was older, idk... It seems like her Gen doesn't have too much of a filter. Fuck them indeed haha! Yeah, I know. I have NOT snapped back. My youngest is a year and a half now, and I've managed to get down from 200 to 126 lbs, but the belly is just hanging on for dear life. Literally hanging hahahaha

@knish I kept getting "You're too small to be that far along!" Like thank you, but I'm definitely that far into the pregnancy. To be fair, though, I had a back baby - where she was always hiding deeper inside towards my back. It even took my OB by surprise when she measured me and was like, "you're actually bigger than you're showing."
It does get annoying though.

@knish This is one of the reasons we're trying not to tell my MIL I'm pregnant until after the baby is here.
She is super toxic and would intentionally say stuff like that just to get under my skin. She's morbidly obese and has sent me clean eating recipe magazines and when I was trying to lose weight I was doing keto (and it worked amazingly) and she kept telling me that it was SO unhealthy and I wasn't going to lose weight on it. As a morbidly obese person she thinks she has the right to talk to someone about a healthy diet because she's an Rn... except she's never worked in a dietary field and also she claims she eats "healthy" 24/7 and only eats veggies, quinoa, and beans but shes still morbidly obese and nearly immobile and can't bathe herself. She was a hospice nurse and has now been a nurse auditor for years.
She's a narcissist so she was under the impression that she knew more about diets and health than the personal trainer who put me on the diet. Then when I told her my blood work was the healthiest it had ever been when I was on the diet she insisted my doctor didn't know what she was talking about and didn't know how to read blood work (one of the most prominent and well respected doctors in my city btw).
Honestly, it's more for her wellbeing than mine because I can tell you right now if she ever mentions my weight ever again or ever tries to give me diet advice ever again I'm going to say "I don't health advice from morbidly obese people." and leave it at that. It'll probably send her over the edge but she needs to learn her place.
