I'd never get over it if it happened to me. Neither did my mom. I'm 33 and she's still pissed!

What a coincidence. I just got asked for the first time today if I was pregnant and I couldn't stop smiling like an idiot. I'm 19 weeks and just starting to show and I think I'm the only person in the world stoked to be dressing my "baby bump". I'm looking forward to being a bit bigger so it's even more obvious that…

It's a lot more upsetting than it sounds, because you spend so much time explaining. And "Aren't you lucky! You don't look pregnant!" isn't a compliment when you still DON'T look like yourself. I had preeclampsia so I was very swollen at the end. The only nice thing about this (life-threatening) disease is that I…

This happened to my mom during her pregnancy with me. She said "I didn't look pregnant, I just looked fat." She said she almost had a nervous breakdown when a doctor (not her doctor) didn't believe she was pregnant when she was 8 1/2 months along. I imagine this will happen to me as well and I will probably kill…

Tell her to stop judging and buy you a better shirt if she cares so much. "Bless your heart" is pretty much the worst southern insult. .__.

Imagine being fat and trying to find maternity clothes *IN* store. No Target, no Walmart, no mall nowhere. Because if you're fat, you're supposed to be single and alone forever. NOT breeding. So now I have to resort to shopping online. When it was already hard enough as it was with my shape.

Thankfully, a lot of plus…

I want to have kids someday but I'm scared of my boobs. I'm a DD at the young nubile and childless age of 25. What will happen when I'm pregnant? Will my boobs become my entire torso? Will they be so big they'll just rise up Christina Hendricks style and cover my face?

And since articles like "OMG My Kid Is So Cute I Can't Stand It" and "Why I'm Glad I'm a Mom" are sappy at best, they don't tend to get written.

One thing that people forget in all this is that your body is changing dramatically in unexpected ways. It's hard to come to terms with even if you have a good body image or you get that pregnant doesn't equal fat. You still feel vastly different and out of control of the constant changes. It's a mindfuck.

I had a group of about 6 friends and family members who were all pregnant at around the same time as me. I handed down a bunch of maternity clothes to them, and by the time I was pregnant the second time, most of my hand-me-downs came back around to me, plus a lot of other stuff that had been added to the collection.…

Motherhood is the bomb, if it's something you want, I say go for it. I don't love my cottage cheese body, but I would be willing to look like a Troll doll if it meant having the privilege of being mom to Mini Mocena.

I have no sympathy for people who look pregnant. I went through an ENTIRE pregnancy NOT LOOKING pregnant, just large, swollen, weird, and I got no congrats, no cute clothes, no (unwanted) pats on the stomach. My second pregnancy was different and I had a much better experience. But to be 25, a size 12…

Oh, also. God forbid you're plus size or even tall, because maternity clothes just don't come in your size. I'm about an 18 and I bought a pair of XL maternity black work pants (like, suit appropriate) at Motherhood when I started to show. Two months later, I couldn't fit my thighs into the legs and couldn't find…

It's funny that I hadn't really considered the multiple size changes in a pregnant woman's body. I had figured, well, you just get bigger clothes, right? But thinking about it now, I guess unless you want to wear nothing but elastic waistbands you're going to have to buy a new wardrobe every few months, or at least…

I think part of it has to do with the fact that the internet, and especially Jez, is often felt like a safe place to bitch about the discomforts, sacrifices, and inconveniences of parenthood instead of having to pretend it's all roses and butterflies all the time.

Call it "Baby Got Back."

Best graphic ever!

Perhaps there should be some sort of matchmaker site that matches up fashion-savvy fat girls with formerly-thin-now-preggers girls. Because these all sound like mostly your basic "how to shop for plus-size" problems.

He deserves the same fate as whoever introduced "ratchet" into the Twitter lexicon

Arthur's sister, duh. All the cool kids reference her constantly.
