So I wear lots of layers at work including a sweater I take off after it warms up enough. I work in manufacturing and am at a safe facility so I'm not worried about mine or baby's safety. Now since I wear layers and the largest sports bra I can find in my band size that my boobs still spill out of, I get a bit more of a bulky look instead of a bump look. Now last week my bump really started to take off. Now I work with mostly guys and they keep offering me food any chance they can. I only take what sounds good and when I'm hungry. Now I have a desk that I use for less than half of my day. Right next to my desk is a candy jar for anyone to take from. This week it has had chocolate in it. Now the janitor lady is the nicest, weirdest lady you could find but she has a huge heart. She does everything out of the goodness of her heart. Back when I started (my first day was the day I found out I was pregnant) she told me that there was donuts in the break room. At that time processed foods didn't agree with me. I told her a few days earlier I was pregnant and so when I told her that I probably shouldn't she assumed that I was going to be "one of those moms". So I explained everything to her and she understood. So this week she made comments about me eating candy and that just because I'm pregnant, doesn't mean I can pig out (not her words, but to that affect). Well today she was taking the trash everyone uses and was pestering me about how much chocolate I had. I told her that I only had one piece. And she says that the kid will be jumping around everywhere at this rate. One of the guys I work with even stepped up (she is friends with everyone) and said that I only had one piece. So now I'm self conscious about my size and it doesn't help that I haven't felt any kicks so I feel like I'm just fat. Sorry for the novel and I'll post a picture in the comments of just my belly band over my stomach.

@tyrellp, more like letting my emotions out to people that I can talk to since I don't want to hurt the lady's feelings so I can't tell many people.

@tyrellp, it's hard to find a nice way to tell her so we both don't walk away with hurt feelings because there is no reason for both of us to get worked up over something silly that is hormone driven

@tyrellp, I'd love to do that but I don't want people to feel like they have to tip toe around me. I know I'm making this difficult but I want to be able to go to work and get my mind off of things. Not to have everyone act differently around me and make me more aware of everything

@tyrellp, I'm the first person in the plant to be pregnant while working there. Almost everyone there is a parent so a lot know what I'm going through. They already don't know how to handle me since I'm working with them and am pregnant. So I deal with seeing everyone and only having small talk since they don't really know what to talk about with me that isn't baby related. So if they feel they can't talk about it, then I'm left with only business talk and since I'm still new, they go to the other two people in my position because they are more experienced and they can talk about things. I work 10 hours days and sleep 10 hours so work is about the only place I can socialize and I don't to mess with that since my hormones are out of wack. I know she means well so that makes that conversation even harder
