I'm NOT public property!

Ok

So just because I have a swollen belly does not mean that I am public property or open to public scrutiny. I was out shopping the other day and was accused (jokingly????) by a stranger of taking up all the room in the aisle. My very dry reply was "Yeah, yeah, wide load coming through."

As a pregnant woman I know that I'm large, larger than usual anyway. But that does not give everyone the right to point it out. How would you like it if I pointed out your middle aged spread, your receeding hairline, your saggy bum, or your crooked nose? It's not nice, so why do it to me?

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all! Remember, I don't know you from a bar of soap, I don't know if you're being funny or just plain rude. Most importantly, please remember that pregnant women have feelings too - if you're not careful we may just hit you over the head with our handbags.
