do you know any women who were skinny and hot (by their own opinions) and now that they're pregnant, are complaining about how 'fat' they look? i know someone like this and i just want to bash her head in. she's complaining about ONE stretch mark that she finally got after 6 months of pregnancy.

the reason i'm so annoyed is because i think people like that are more concerned with their physical appearance/or just themselves, rather than their baby.

i know what you mean, my sister-in-law is so obsessed about how she looks. she is one of those people that every hair on her head has to be in place! after she had her 2nd baby she went and got lipo, and breast implants to get back her "perfect body"

I would assume that you are a naturally over weight woman. Not to pass any judgment but the only time a woman is so annoyed by what another woman thinks about her body enough to post it on line you are obviously jealous.
Jealous not of her as a person but the simple fact that her body even 6 months pregnant may be better than yours.
I can honestly relate to both sides. I hate when my friend a super toned woman talk about a little pouch in her stomach but I can understand how the changes in your body are new to you so you do not feel the same. I am 5'6 was 125 pds before my daughter and am now and have been for about 3 years now 140pds. I am by no means fat however you have to get used to such a drastic change in your body.
We still love our babies the same amount however who in the world openly welcomes and wants stretch marks, cellulite, dimples, bruise, and all else that comes with pregnancy or gaining weight?
I know I don't, and if you say you do your lying!

Pregnancy is supposed to make the women's belly bigger, not ***, legs, chin or arms. It's just the laziness of women who think they have the right to stuff themselves like a pig just because they are pregnant. It is a disrespect to the husbands(assuming the husbands stay the same shape during all this time of pregnancy). After all a baby is maximum of 6-7 kgs, while some women gain up tp 40 kgs. For what is that extra weight? It's like growing a tree just to produce a toothpick!

Do you know any fat pregnant women who feel like they can do nothing but sit around the house instead of hopping on a treadmill and staying healthy and think that pregnancy has to run their bodies into the ground and then lash out at skinnier healthier women who actually take care of themselves, use vitamin E and eat well as to not pack on unnecessary pounds becauase it's not true that you have to become fat and splattered with stretch marks and be completely helpless???Sounds like you're just fat and angry. It's not others fault that you didn't take care of your own body while pregnant. Nobody loves their child less if they don't look like a mess. (write that down)

When I was still in college a woman in one of my classes came back to school 7 days after giving birth to her 2nd son. She probably weighed 100 lbs soaking wet and looked like she had never had kids. She said she carried the baby all the way to the car before the nurses realized she was the mother and she wasn't supposed to be carrying him! I was always really thin before my daughter, but I gained 50 lbs with her. She was almost 9 lbs at birth, so I thought I'd lose a lot in the first day or so. I weighed myself 3 days after she was born and I'd only lost 12 lbs! About 35 lbs of it came off fairly easily (gotta love breastfeeding), but I don't think I'll ever lose the last 15. Oh well - there are worse reasons to gain 15 lbs!

I understand how you feel but honestly I think it is coming from jealousy a little.
I am 5'8" and was very in shape before getting pregnant because I play tennis about 6 days a week and swim everyday. I worked very, very hard to stay fit and was very proud of my body. Now 32 weeks pregnant and 20lbs later I am a little self conscious because it is SIMPLY just a huge change in my body then what I am used too. I can't work out because I am tired and my back is killing me. I do complain about it to my husband, friends, family and doctor. I know in the back of my mind I am lucky but most of it is hormones and concern that I will not get my body back.
However, will all that said, that does not mean that I do not love my baby and care more about myself than her. It just means that I take pride in my appearance and that is a positive thing for a child to see in their parents. Not that being overweight means you do not take pride in yourself, it is just a personal choice to work this hard to stay fit.... good luck to you!!

That is SO VERY UNTRUE!!!! I complain all the time about how my appearance is changing and it sucks but in no way shape or form does it mean that I dont care about my baby. Being pregnant is not fun and the hormones we have going crazy in our brains can make us upset about the seemingly silliest things such as our appearance, but there is nothing wrong with that and it doesnt mean we dont care for our unborn babies. And stretch marks arent fun either.

I am honestly petite and when I weighed (22 weeks pregnant), I only gained like 6.5 lbs since the pregnancy started. People around me wont believe how small my belly is but since my doctor said the baby is fine, then somehow I dont worry as much anymore. Actually, Im not worried so much about my looks...Im worried that Im not gaining enough weight for the baby. I want to look pregnant like other women...its not fun when people stare at me and think like im overly constipated. you know what i mean?

If your friend is complaining about being fat than thats one thing, but skinny pregnant people arnt annoying they are just experienceing new things.

I totally understand your annoyance, but I think you need to keep the other person in mind. You don't know if they are suffering from depression or truly feel that way because of hormones or a quick weight gain they are not used to. And nobody wants stretch marks and I would be upset about even just one as well! Try to be a little more understanding.

when u never had a stretch mark in your life the first one is devastating. and when weight has never been an issue and your body is getting bigger and rounder every week are they suppose to be happy about it? people like you were probably a sloppy mess before they ever even got pregnant. its not about wether or not u care about your baby, its about seeing something that means a lot to you (your beautiful body) slip away from you and knowing theres not a damn thing you can do about it
