Why do people think it's funny to call pregnant women fat? I've had a couple people say I'm "fat" and then laugh as if it was some wonderful act of comedy. In reality, I was thin before I became pregnant, and now I'm at 37 weeks and have a HUGE belly, but the rest of me isn't really any different from how it's always been. Is it that people really can't separate "fat" from "normal, but carrying around a fully developed baby", or does it make people feel better to say hateful things like that? If anyone ever said something like that to a non-pregnant woman, they wouldn't have time to laugh before they were clocked in the head with a brick, so why is it OK if the woman has a baby belly? Sorry this is so long, I'm just so upset about it right now. And please don't send me evil answers...please remain mature in your responses. Thank you.
