Any ideas on what I could say?

Question

I have a friend that does weight watchers with me. We both became pregnant about the same time. Well she is due in less than a month and I still have about 10 weeks left. She usually gains so much weight during her pregnancies as well as I do. Well this time around, I've gained a ton and she hasn't. Well I always gain a bunch, but I lose a lot of it really fast because I retain sooo much water. Well anyway, I've already gained waaay too much weight and she has gained around 30. That's all she wants to talk about. I know it's not because I'm sitting around doing nothing or anything. I've a very active person and I've been eating right this whole pregnancy. My question is this. Do you have anything I can say to stick it to her and get her to just shut the hell up? It's getting soo old.

Answer 1

tell her your baby just might be bigger and your baby can kick her babies ***.lol.

Answer 2

If you have not said anything yet, you should be polite the first time. Try this:

"X, I'm really happy for you, but this is a subject I just don't want to talk about right now." Then ask her a question that changes the subject.

The next time that she brings it up, use the exact same words: "X, I'm really happy for you, but this is a subject I just don't want to talk about right now."

Always use the exact same words - don't even say them in a different order. She will get the point, and you will get to keep a friend who will probably be very valued when you both have babies the same age.

Answer 3

Your friend needs to quit rubbing it in that you have gained more weight than her. That is just rude!!
I would talk with her and just let her know that it hurts your feelings that she keeps pointing out your weight gain differences.
Let her know that every woman, and every pregnancy is different.
Maybe you will lose the baby weight faster than she does, and if so you would not want to keep reminding her of that!!
She needs to quit being competitive with you!
