Weight issue
So before pregnancy I was 120lbs and always have been smaller (I'm 5'5"). Now that I am starting my 22week, I am showing more and have gained 20lbs. Because of my weight gain my mother in law started picking on me about how large my butt is, calling me her little fatty. It's not like I'm overeating! I eat a bowl of cereal for breakfast, soup and sandwich for lunch and a lean protein dinner.
Lol, I like that comment! Thanks for the smile :) I think I'm going to use that next time she makes a comment about it!
The only problem is that the more I hear the comments from her, the more I feel self conscious. I really am starting to hate my pregnant body. Now I see all the flaws that she keeps pointing out.
My doctors are really big on maintaining a healthy weight and I had to tell them up front that I am a big pregnant lady. I am generally a fairly thin girl and not very tall. I make big old babies. My biggest being 8.8. It has to go somewhere!!
I don't care what people say about me because I know I don't go crazy in the eating department and all I care about is having a healthy and happy baby. :)
It took one time of commenting back on fil's appearance to stop all my in-laws comments. I heard him cal sil (his own daughter) some of the most insulting names you could imagine calling any pregnant woman (loudly and in public)& knew he would try it with me too. She asked nicely that he stop but it just got progressively worse until long after she got back to prepregnancy weight.
All that happened with me was he said "my God! Getting out there aren't you?" & I quickly responded "yep. Maybe by the time I hit 40 weeks I'll almost be as big as you." He put his head down & walked away. (He is not a big man but doesn't like people pointing out his flaws)
Thanks ladies. I appreciate the positive words. I'll see if my SO can talk to her first.
What a batch. I am same height as you and was 120 when I got pregnant. I gained 60 lbs. mostly due to pre e. I had an extremes amount of water weight but regardless weight is weight. My DD is 10 months old and I am down to 115. You will lose every bit of that if not more. Please don't let those jealous people make you feel bad. My husband told me that he thinks my legs and butt looked healthier when I was pregnant and that I should put some meat on! Lol my point is that some people just suck!
Don't let it get to you. Ignore her. Hubby should tell her to stop when she does it. You can joke back with her in case she has ill intentions to piss her off. Hahaha ?
My mil calls my baby "shim" since we don't know the gender yet. I just smh and smirk. She even tells me it's too early for me to feel my baby. ? I'm 15wk3. I didn't know she was in my belly to know what I feel.
You just need to tell her to, STFU. Using those exact words.
It's ridiculous. You don't tell that to anybody, no matter if they're family or not.
And your hubby needs to stick up for you, instead of appeasing your MIL.
You've gained a normal amount of weight for 20 weeks, and I'm sure you look great!

I am only on my 2nd trimester and I gained so much weight! 😭 Can you mommas tell me what’s like a normal weight gain to be expected, please.
I am 26weeks and I have already gain 20 pounds. 🙂🤔 Hey Mommy's and Mommy's to be, how much weight have u gain already??
Ok so not using actual numbers.. But everyone knows I'm over weight since having my girls. It's no secret. BUT i was talking with my hubby last night and idk how we got to this but he said something like (not using actual numbers) no one should weigh 800lbs, they should take care of themselves. And i said so what if someone weighs 800lbs? He said no one should weigh that, they should be healthier. I said well i almost weigh 800! I'm in the 790s. And I'm healthy. I may be overweight but i don't h...
How much have you ladies gained so far ?? I've gained 64lbs 😳 my husband makes me feel shitty when I indulge by reminding me how hard it's gonna be to lose the weight once baby comes. I don't know if it hurts my feelings or pisses me off but my dr doesn't seem to be concerned about all this weight I've gained I started at 106lb so I was small to begin with. Talk about stressful
I thought all women wanted a big butt? Wish mine would get bigger! Pass it this way if you don't like. ?
But I would just saying something smart back. She might just be mad cause you got a nice booty and hers is hitting the saggy stage. ?
