OMG your poor SIL!
My SO has never said a negative word about my body/weight. He is always positive about it. If I'm complaining about my tummy fat or something he always just says I'm beautiful. I don't want him to tell me I'm fat and need to lose weight (I'd probably kick his butt if he did lol) but I also don't want him to lie and say my body is just as great as before kids....because it doesn't....yet.

Oh man, DH would be a dead man if he ever told me to lose weight in the first place but to say it in public...that is just so disrespectful. Imagine what he says to her behind closed doors
I think DH is going to feel a lot more comfortable with making comments about my body during pregnancy but he isn't stupid enough to say anything negative.

@autumnlove: is he being serious or joking?
Depends on if I'm PMSing. If I am I'm uber sensitive if not I don't care.

Heck no!
My husband has been nothing but complimentary to me about my weight. I'm not fat, but I struggle with it and the fact that I'm not as thin as I used to be. DH is very supportive, always tells me I'm beautiful, etc. In return, I treat him the same. Her DH is out of line, especially by doing it in public.

@regberadaisy: he is serious. He told us about the workout routine he wants her to do....3 days of Insanity and 2 days of yoga.

My husband is a fitness trainer and incredibly fit. I've always been thin but it's the skinny fat kind of thin. DH definitely notices changes in my body and has made comments about those changes, but he's never, ever done it in a derogatory or insulting way. He continues to compliment me on my pregnant body all the time even when I'm extra hard on myself.
Most of his comments stem from my own initial comments. For example, I will pout and say "blah blah my butt is getting flat, poor me". and he will say something like "well, blank blank blank exercise will help with that". He usually always add on something like "But I think your butt is cute anyway" at the end of all comments. hahaha.
He's never said anything in public situations though and that is so very totally rude. I'd be pretty upset if I had just had a baby and DH said something like that to me.

I would cry if my husband said something like that to me. And if it was in public, I wouldn't be speaking to him. I'm overweight and very sensitive about it. But luckily DH thinks it's cute that I'm getting "rounder" in pregnancy :).

@autumnlove: ohmygod. If my husband said that to me in a serious tone I would bitch slap him. Literally.

Oh hell no.
The most DH will ever say is if I complain about my weight, size, etc is "Well if you want to go swim/walk at the rec center I'll go with you."

That probably would have sent me into full ppd. I was already so hard on myself about the baby weight at that stage bc it wasn't just coming off, so thankfully I only had people giving me positive feedback instead of vv. I would have been so hurt if dh said something like that. Regardless of whether they 'get' the whole pp weight loss thing, it's a fundamental respect for your wife thing that is unacceptable in my book.
