(she's older)</p> <p>@Dandelion: I totally LOL'd - thanks ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003472 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:38:38 +0000 Modern Daisy 1003472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When people make comments like that, I tend to think they come from a place of jealousy, so I just give them a sympathetic look in response. I've gained most of my weight in my belly and people literally stop me on the street to compliment me about that and it really bothers me. I have no control over how my body chooses to pack on the pounds and while I'm glad that I don't look 'fat' I thikn it's totally wrong and inappropriate for people to make those comments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003464 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:34:26 +0000 Dandelion 1003464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SHE looks bloated! or pregnant...whichever she doesn't want to look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003439 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:28:13 +0000 lemondrop 1003439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, that makes sense- she must be super jealous then. Now I feel kinda bad for her and what she's missing out on. (yes, I can still say that after yet another round of puking this morning).</p> <p>She's still a huge brat to say that to you, but know that she must want what you have so, so badly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003399 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:15:43 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1003399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Ah...maybe she is jealous then! Or, if she's not jealous about you being pregnant, maybe she's jealous about how darn cute you look pregnant :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003383 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:08:55 +0000 Pink Champagne 1003383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe she's jealous? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003378 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:05:04 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1003378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: Well, as long as she is married to her husband, they won't get pregnant. He had a vasectomy after his daughter was born (1st marriage), so they can't have kids now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003374 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 09:02:22 +0000 pui 1003374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow how rude!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003362 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 08:58:09 +0000 Sunshine1810 1003362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's really rude!

Ick...I'm sorry she didn't apologize. Definitely uncalled for. I probably would have come back with something like, "I'll remember to say that to you when you're pregnant at my stage." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003346 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 08:54:43 +0000 Jellyfish 1003346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be so mad but you know what don't even bother, just ignore her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1003339 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 08:53:01 +0000 Bao 1003339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow that's rude!

If it wasn't your sister that said it, I'd say a rude comment back would be in order. But I am mentally a two year old about such things and have no problem giving a rude commenter a taste of their own medicine. The "high road" and I aren't really aquiantences. </p> <p>Sometimes it's the ones we love the most that can say the most hurtful things. I'm sure you're going to be a beautiful pregnant lady! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1001880 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:26:03 +0000 Mrs. Fox 1001880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are strange. My parents had a hard time with my pregnancy weight gain (!!) and said all kinda of terrible things to me in passing. My dad spent most of my pregnancy telling me I didn't look pregnant so much as I looked "chubby", "fat", and finally "enormous". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1001854 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:21:38 +0000 MsLipGloss 1001854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the words of Stephanie Tanner, How Rude! And totes uncalled for. If you told me I hurt your feelings, I would have apologized. Could she be jealous for some reason? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1001850 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:21:06 +0000 jhd 1001850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow. I'm sorry. :( My sister would probably punch me if I said something like that! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-dont-even-look-pregnant-you-just-look-bloated#post-1001842 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:19:33 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1001842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what my sister said to me today when I showed her I'm getting a bump. I'm used to her contradicting everything I say, but this one stung for some reason. </p> <p>I told her that, for future reference, no pregnant woman wants to hear that they look bloated. (I would think that's a given).... She didn't apologize </p>
