Today, while at a family baby shower, my grandfather thought it would be funny to inform me, in front of everyone, that I had gotten fat. I'm 7 months pregnant and the baby shower was for me. FML

Today, my husband wants me to apologize for getting angry when his father told me I'm getting so fat that I look like a whale. I'm not fat, I'm just 8 months pregnant. FML

Today, I dragged my son along with me to a work party because I didn't want him home by himself. Halfway through, he stood up and made an announcement about my pregnancy. I had to explain to all my coworkers and my boss that I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat. FML

Today, my youngest son's teacher surprised me with a box of diapers. Apparently my son told her I was pregnant, but I'm not. I had to explain to her I'm just fat. She apologized and felt awful, and told me to keep the diapers. My children are 5 and 7. FML

Today, I attended my husband's holiday brunch at a company I also used to work for. I was excited to see former coworkers until one raced up, grabbed my belly, and in front of a crowded room, exclaimed, "You're pregnant!" Nope, just older and a bit fatter. FML

Today, in the middle of the store, my daughter pointed at my belly and loudly announced that she was going to have a brother. I'm a man, and apparently I need to lose weight. FML

Today, my grandpa pointed out my slightly larger than usual belly and made fun of it, by comparing it to a kidney bag. I’ve been underweight since I was 13, and when I finally gain weight someone has to make fun of it. FML

Tell him he's old and you're gonna lose a lot of weight in two months, and then he'll be even older.

I thought the same thing, then remembered pregnancy really affects your hormones. She probably overreacted, but it felt “legitimate” at the time. She may hate how she looks with all the baby weight and feel like she gained more than the “normal” amount or something. I’m guessing grandpa struck a nerve. OP - Don’t worry it’s not that big a deal and I hope you feel better. Be excited about your new baby coming soon, and all your family and friends coming to support your growing family! 😄 And on the bright side, you’ll lose tons of weight after the baby comes out, as it’ll literally suck the life out of you, feeding on all the extra calories your body stored for it. Woohoo!
