Also proud that I gained 40 plus pounds each time which contributed to having 8 lb. robust babies. I know women who try to hide the pregnancy until the last few weeks. Are you kidding me? I wore it like a badge of distinction.<BR/>Speaking of belly fat, I was 50 yrs. old and one of my students raised her hand in class one day and asked if I was pregnant. I was shocked and mumbled something about being old and fat. I wish I had said, "Why no, are you?"amyegodfreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343227628802401779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003780.post-1143254753733542832006-03-24T19:45:00.000-07:002006-03-24T19:45:00.000-07:00i don't understand why "fantastic" and "pregnant" ...i don't understand why "fantastic" and "pregnant" are oppositional terms.Neil and Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160129462656497480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003780.post-1143247031068198772006-03-24T17:37:00.000-07:002006-03-24T17:37:00.000-07:00If you happen to have any friends from South Ameri...If you happen to have any friends from South America, they are the most blunt about it. I have a good friend from Argentina and yesterday she said to me, "You've really looked good so far in your pregnancy, but now your face is REALLY starting to get fat." Thanks. . . What would you suggest that I do about it?!!<BR/><BR/>p.s. Emily, I know that it was three weeks ago that I saw you, but I thought that you looked fantastic and I never would have guessed that you were pregnant! I'm sure that you haven't changed that much in the past three weeks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003780.post-1143225610155338952006-03-24T11:40:00.000-07:002006-03-24T11:40:00.000-07:00My rule is "don't ask and wait until they tell" I...My rule is "don't ask and wait until they tell" I was horrified at work several times last year when people made very interesting comments about my body in front of large audiences. gems included " even your face looks fuller" and "wow, your boobs are getting so big." Does pregancy enable people to make comments about ALL your body parts? However, my favorite came after I had the baby and went back to show him off at 6 weeks. One male coworker told me, "wow, you're not as thin as you were before you got pregnant" Thanks dude, way to make me feel great.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18003780.post-1143180145214565802006-03-23T23:02:00.000-07:002006-03-23T23:02:00.000-07:00I was going to make some kind of joke about how "I...I was going to make some kind of joke about how "I could totally tell," but decided it might seem weird to people who don't know that I have never met you before.
