What do you do when people tell you are fat when your pregnant?

Question

My mother-in-law comes over and when she does the first thing she does is tell me I am fat. I am 34 weeks pregnant and it don't take much to make me mad due to my hormones. But I just feel like exploiting on her.Before I was pregnant I weighted 110 pds. Know I weigh 152. Am I suppose to go off are what do I say?

Answer 1

I would just say, "I am not fat; I am pregnant.  I would appreciate it if you would stop saying that."  I'm sure it's really annoying when she says that but maybe she's just trying to be funny.  She might not realize that it's pissing you off.

Answer 2

I got this a lot in my 1st pregnancy and my answer to people like this was I am pregnant, at least I will lose my weight what is your excuse?  They usually shut up after that.  I haven't had anyone call me fat this pregnancy, good thing because I wouldn't be nice.  

You are just right on your weight, good job.  Ignore stupid people like that.  

Answer 3

just say at least i got an excuse lol, when people are pregnant they are not fat its another life living in your belly and if shes so low as to call you fat shes not worth the stress she should be making you feel better just tell her how it makes you feel and hopefully she will understand if not then see it as jealousy some mums are like that they don't like their little boys being taken away she not the only girl in his life anymore  

Answer 4

Wow, that isn't very nice at all. Just politely remind her that she has been a big fat pregnant whale before too. Sorry, good luck with your pregnancy!!

Answer 5

You are not fat you are pregnant. You're mother-in-law is obviously a mean women.

Tell her you're not worried about it because you know you will lose the weight after. Tell her it could be worse you could have a bad attitude problem and that's a lot harder to rectify.
