tell her you are proud of your tummy and don’t feel the need to hide it. and if your pregnancy bothers her it would be best if she kept it to herself
Tell her that though you appreciate her opinion, you’re proud of your body and the fact that it is housing a growing baby and you are very comfortable showing it off, and her comments are no longer needed.
tell her: ‘look, i can understand why you need to hide YOUR gut, but this is a pregnant belly, so i don’t need to hide it.’
and any time she comments about things, turn it around and make it about HER ‘flaws.’ she’ll shut up eventually.
Hooray for passive-aggressive!
I would just say nothing at all and ignore her.
i love clothes that show off my bump, they are normally stretchy and comfortable… unless she has authority over you then i wouldn’t listen… be proud of your bump and don’t listen to what others think you should do!!! and if i were you id have to tell her that haha
Just laugh at her gently and tell her she is behind the times. Tell her not since Victorian times has it been considered necessary or fashionable to hide a pregnant bump. That should shut her up.
Either ignore her and take the higher ground, or casually say how proud you are of your bump and how comfy you are in your body at the moment. As long as the clothes you’re wearing are suitable for the job you’re doing it really isn’t any of her business.
Good luck!
i think i would tell her she’s being a little old fashioned and to take a look around at most pregnant women these days as they are proud to show it off…
when my mum was a little girl, pregnant was as good as a dirty word! look how society has changed! time for her to just get over it!
good luck!
Tell her she needs to wear clothes that hide her mouth.

She’s probably just jealous. As long as this woman isn’t your manager or boss, she has no rights to tell you what you should and shouldn’t wear. Ignore her. Wear what’s comfortable for you. Don’t hide it. I found that during my pregnancy, I was able to wear a few of my shirts that were otherwise too tight for me. I found pregnancy as an excuse to wear those shirts, because it brought attention to my belly & I loved attention to my belly. Hehe.
) Congrats on your pregnancy, by the way.
